Tour De Suisse stage 5
Nothing created yet so i thought i would get the ball rolling.
Flat stage according to the profile with the teams having to negotiate 2 cat 4 climbs on the closing circuits a total of 5 times.
Sprinters to the fore or will a classics style rider make the jump and steal the stage.

Got my eye on a certain world Champion for this one
My thoughts are similar but couldn't afford him so gone for the next best thing in an OPQS rider.
I'm stuck between 2 OPQS riders?
Played it safe to be honest, could have gone Gilbert, but went Kreuziger
Im routing for a Demare/Sagan 1-2, as mu purist team currently sits 6th out of the purist teams.
My standard team looks like this
Sagan
Haussler
Kristoff
Demare
Ahlstrand
Vrecer
Wyss
Frank
Kreuziger
I bottled it and played it safe too. wanted Gilbert and Boonen but in the end thought the sprinters will want it too much too allow a classics win
Kristoff (Frank)
Sagan
Costa (Pinot)
Haussler
Degenkolb
Wyss
Zaugg
Koch
Grabsch
This is where my lack of knowledge leads to my downfall.
Apparently (inrng.com) there's a 4% kick up for the last 500m so I'm banking on a Degenkolb/Sagan fight for the line (much like livestrongnick by the looks of it)
Boonen, Sagan, Gilbert or Kristoff for the win.
Oppps, I forgot to make changes
for once I chose not to change
Not even an early deadline to use as an excuse! Do you mean to say you do other things apart from thinking about fanatsy cycling that might have distracted you??
Yup, my new panniers and also replacement brakes both arrived this morning. So I was busy playing with the trike.
I see Devolder/Pauwels/Minard/Lemoine have a 4 minute gap
So Visconti has abandoned after a crash. Makes selection for mountains stages slightly easier with 1 less choice
Mean one transfer I will have to use up for tomorrow, I will only have 7 for Sunday now Enrique! Que Malo estoy! eh mi pequena pararito!
anyone got a live english feed working?
can only get a luxemburg one

Cheers dude, yea was after a video feed.
EDIT: Actually that one keeps crashing on me,hmmm too close to the end now, will stick with the luxemburg one, lol
Kristoff yessss!!
Another podium badge. I'm getting bored with them now
Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) wins the stage ahead of Peter Sagan, Arnaud Démare and Matti Breschel.
Thats a 1,2,3 for me
u got the top 10? missed it when it popped up
Goss and Farrar rules apply.
1,2 & 5 for me
1 Kristoff
2 Sagan
3 Demare
4 Breschel
5 Haussler
6 Goss
7 Cimolai
8 Guarnieri
9 Van Poppel
10 Impey
ooh even better, 1,2,3,5 so far from top 10
I'm starting to think about adding Degenkolb to my Goss & Farrar list... not saying you should... just me
... bother ...
11 MONDORY Lloyd AG2R La Mondiale
