Exactly my thinking too Contador out and bring in guys mentioned above.....only had contador for mountain points don't intend on keeping him for TT!
Just looked at my team and there will be no real benefit in me dropping Contador, due to the other changes I will have to make
It will look something like this I think
Peraud (for Henao)
Porte
Fuglsang
Martin (for Quintana)
Contador
Sanchez (for Spilak)
Serry (for Pineau)
Txurruka
Betancurt
Yeah, but he hasn't shown as much form on flatter TTs, uphill is different and I wouldn't expect the same people to be as high up this time around. Porte has shown flat form before, as has Talansky, I'm not sure if Quintana has.
Anyway, you don't have to listen to me
Van den Broeck abandoned
7 on a break
Izagirre (3)
Martinez
Schleck
Vorganov
Roche
Vanendert
Preidler
Don't think the peleton will let that many go
8km later caught
roche in there so saxo don't have too chase and sets up bertie
Can't be a very interesting race today. No escapes allowed and both diariovasco and biciclismo have had nothing to say for 20 mins or so.
Typical. Just after I said that, 5 riders start to get away and Egoitz Garcia abandons.
A group of five have 30 secs
Velits
Vorganov
Ratto
Taaramae
+1
Egoitz Garcia was a DNF yesterday actually. I only noticed because he was in both my teams and I thought he might have been last man home. Ratto in the break today would make up for it tho - a bit of a bonus for my purists if it sticks...
adv 2.20
+1 is Montaguti
Same for me with Ratto in my purists, hopefully will take the sprints
Typical, I knew this would happen, first day I have Txurruka in my team he isn't in the break
Montaguti was almost a permanent fixture in my team last year. not touched him this year
I don't think this will be allowed to go to the finish. Velits is only at 1:49
1st mountain
1 Ratto
2 Montaguti
3 Vorganov
adv 5 mins
30 metre visibility in the fog is going to make the descents a bit hairy
Yeah, I meant sticks as in becoming the day's break, which it looks like it is. I'm sure it will all be back together before the last climb, but hopefully not until after the last intermediate sprint...
I realised that was what you probably meant soon after I posted but it was too late
Sprint 1
1 Montaguti
2 Velits
3 Vorganov
Eurosport time!
Abandoned
Brajkovic
Gerrans
Elissonde
Roy
De Gendt
2nd moutain
1 Vorganov
2 Montaguti
3 Velits
First flight to Paris?
Especially if Cancellara keeps falling off!
Sprint 2
1 Ratto
2 Montaguti
3 Vorganov
Ratto going well - won the second sprint and will be in the top three over the cat 1 climb here...
Maybe, just maybe
Looking a bit different now, yes!
