Right, team picked. Five sprinters, three sprinting all-rounders and the current leader's jersey holder. Hoping he remembers his track legs For the final km's after a day on the roads.

Up 777 places today - probably more attributable to a poor prologue than anything else. A career-high of 33rd in the overall for the season tho!

4th-10th in the Forum's Scorum's league is very tight indeed!

Yeah. but as a standard player he doesn't get the badge...

I managed a respectable 155 today, my transfer of Howard for Hutarovich didn't pay off, TJVG for Kristoff did though but only because he rolled in 18 minutes down.

Anyone know how badly Kristoff crashed? Is he likely to race tomorrow?

About 60 guys got caught out and lost 2 mins - no big GC names, just bubbling-unders like Frank, Geniez, JTL, Taaramae.

Kocjan, Rui Costa and Fedrigo are DNF - Kristoff looks like Lanterne Rouge, coming in 17 mins down...

Dammit! Rui Costa's in my purist and my standard!

And not picking Viviani turns out to be a bad call indeed. Hmnph.

Aye, Kittel is in the second group, BMC clearly trying to split the peloton for TJVGs benefit. Bouhanni appears to be in the front group, no word on Viviani, Kristoff, Hutarovich etc...

I may live to regret my Kristoff for Van Garderen transer at half 8 this morning.

BMC trying to split the peloton, Boonen one of the guys in the second half, Kittel also has a mechanical so may end up dropping into the second group.

If the peloton splits it could play havok with the sprint  14
