Tour de Romandie - Stage 1

I'm probably going to look stupid later for not picking Cavendish or Goss today. I think the victory will come from a Belgian or Italian, though.

Possibly Bille 9th and Marcato 10th (TBC)

So far 1,2,7 standard and 1,6,8 purist - much better!

I'm quite proud that I predicted the nationalities of the 1, 2. I meant Meersman and Gavazzi though. Ah well. Onto tomorrow...

101 except I used 5 transfers so... 71... not amazing but hopefully I'm set up well for the next two days.

My aim for the week is to get to 8000 points so that I have a more realistic chance of hitting 10k during the Giro. Unfortunately after a couple of lacklustre days that means I need to average 130+ for the next four stages.

Not a good day - only bright spot was picking Bille. Rui Costa and Meersman now in.

The three leaders went through the sprint with a lead of 2.05. Don't know which order. 63.5km to go

I've mainly got guys that I'm hoping will be in the mix regardless of whether the top sprinters get dropped. So Wyss, Goss, Meersman, Nizzolo, Dehaes and Albasini (hopefully he will sprint if Goss is dropped).

But every decision I've made for Romandie so far has been the wrong one - I even had Berard in my team initially. So not expecting much today!
