Kudentsov has packed. the big girl.
Nibali & Fuglsang for me
Put in J-Rod, Fuglsang, Guysev and Sagan for my 4 sprinters. Kept Hayman and Steegmans for the "you never know" side of things.
Looks like cav is attempting to stay in there, would by typical for it to be a bunch sprint now I have dropped him and the rest of my sprint team,
Kept Sagan and Griepel for today, Andre impressed me on stage 2.
Swapped out Galimzyanov for Veltis, don't expect Denis to be in the lead bunch today
Gambled by swapping out Farrar for Fuglsang, Tyler might finish in the lead group or not.
Replaced Selig with Lebas. Thomas finished in 11th on stage 2 in good company and is 11th overall. My rank outsider for today and maybe tomorrow.
Sticking with Bouhann, Cooke and Sutton (all with a good change to finish in the front group today) and Guardini (not in the front group today, but saving a transfer and points for one of the big gun guns tomorrow for Grepiel and 4 transfers for Sunday)
well my team is sort of half and half, due to a messed up original selection
Oss
Rod
Sagan
Kittel
Nava
Krupois
Selig
Gallopin
Bouhinni
so a nice Sagan, Oss, Gallopin 1,2,3 would be nice and somehow kittel to be in there
It's Bernie Eisel's birthday today. Cav said on twitter that, as a birthday gift to bernie, he will not get dropped from the bunch and make bernie wait for him
I was chatting about this stage with someone yesterday and it struck me that with Milan-San Remo only four weeks ago, this is exactly the kind of stage that would give Cav a good workout for that. I kept him in, but more because once again I forgot to do transfers than anything else
Same here. Hang in there Andre.
Kittel just got dropped
I may have seriously messed up BIG style today, i thought the sprinters would sit back and take it easy up the larger of the 3 climbs today, seems i was wrong, bunch sprint coming up and i got rid of ALL my sprinters in readyness for tomorrow where they will be of no use.
The reason i switched 4, so that i can have 4 transfers after tomorrows stage to get them back in, might work, might not, as long as i dont drop to far off
My aim for this season is to win my region, anything else is a bonus
Got a similar strategy with Sagan, Greipel, Fulgsang and Jeannesson (least sure about this choice but always a fan of FDJ) for today. Haven't decided for tomorrow. End of this stage is easier than 2 I think, but we'll see.
Everyone now back together, bunch sprint coming up
Goss driving them up the climb, sprinters dropping out the back again
Sagan, chavennel and casar riding hard on the front up the climb now
Greipel dropped. Chavanel attacks now, Matt Goss on the front of the peloton powering up the climb. Sprinters going out the back
Chavanal, Sagan and Casar going well.
Greipel dropped, chavanel attacks
Looks like I chose the wrong FDJ rider again!
Im guessing we are all following the same twitter account? or does someone have a stream?
Greipel dropped. Chavanal attacks
How did that happen! Greipel won, Sagan 2nd, Sutton 3rd.....what a mistake dropping Greipel!
Guess so. Anthony McCrossan
Greipel.
Andre Greipel gets back on to win the stage. Sagan second. Think Chris Sutton 3rd #tourofoman
Christ!! If that's right I got 1,2, 3.
Awesome recovery from Greipel to win. Well done everyone who gambled by leaving him in. Unfortunately that was not me
from a different twitter account
1. Greipel (LTB) 2. Sagan (LIQ) 3. Gallopin (RNT) 4. Bouhanni (FDJ) 5. Sutton (SKY)
1,2, 4, 5 happy me
2, 3, 4 if nickobec is correct, which would be better
2nd and 4th so far might not be as bad as feared.
F*****************CCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I'm off to commit suicide now I got 3rd, but still not good, thinking i'm gonna give up the game this year, doing my nut in already and with unreliable coverage and reports/profiles, i give up, its not even fun like it was last year with prizes for every race, takes the fun element away
