Well having been in a good position the last two days i wasn’t sure exactly what to do today…so ive taken a few slight risks

Boom in for Rojas (could be leading tonight, not a long ITT)
Kittel (sprint points still for him i imagine)
Haussler (same as above)
Boonen (can ITT well enough to keep high up?)

Nizzolo (Sprint points and has done decent TT in the ast over slightly shorter distances so could do well as seems on form)
Terpstra (Again could be leading to tonight and could do well tomorrow)
Dowsett in for Demare (only 25 seconds down on the lead so could be in the top 10 tonight and should ITT well too)
Larsson in for Guarieri (about 37 seconds off the lead so same applies as above and could also win the stage)
Moris in for Kristoff (My risk, close to the top 10 overall at the moment and has done ITT’s in the top 10 over this kind of distance in the past)

the question will be which 2 stars to axe tomorrow and will depend on the results of today on whether boonen needs to be axed due to credits or whether he stays high up and could win tomorrow.

If i axe boonen then i could bring contador in tomorrow 😕

His Kwiatkowski+Rojas beat my Devenyns(big let down)+Bauer by 7 pts otherwise we had the same teams.

I’m bringing Boonen and Nizzolo in for Devenyns and Phinney tomorrow(watch Dries win the stage now!!).

I was close today – chose
I was close today – chose Durbridge over Tuft (and it really was a toss of a coin thing) but still got 2,3,4,6,8 and feel like I have a half-decent team for tomorrow. 2 transfers to make (dropping Blythe and probably Haussler, was hoping Blythe would get 5 points for Phinney today but I have 2 GreenEdge guys anyway), and so many guys that could score high tomorrow – tough decision! Shame my first three stages were not so good really…

Contador 7th and looking good – I wonder if he’s worth a punt for San Sebastian? 😕
