Stuck with my team from yesterday.

Greipel
Kittel
Van Poppel
Kwiatkowski
Chavanel
Gerrans
Bonnet
Palacios
Mederel

Basically three sprinters, three guaranteed points guys and three cheap picks. Assuming Cav wins Kwia, Chava and Gerrans will probably pick up a combined 38 points. Couldn't justify bringing in Cav today for the sake of some of those points so left it as was. Will surely drop ground today in the overall but will have 6 transfers for Saturday.

I was cautious yesterday and only had 2 sprinters, so have brought in 2 more today. Cav won in Montpellier before (was it only last year?) so I have skilfully managed to not get him in. Had to choose between Greipel and Kittel, or Cav and someone less than 15 credits.

So these guys will be my team for today and hopefully tomorrow, with 4+1 penalty for Ax3D (yuck).

Sagan
Kristoff
Greipel
Kittel
Gerrans
Hoogerland
Le Mevel
Muravyev
El Fares

I saw Millar struggling on the mini non-classified climb.....I kept him in yesterday thinking there might be a heroic reaction to missing out on yellow in the TTT but it seems he reacted the other way.

I've taken him out today along with EBH and Kwiatkowski despite their positions in the jersey competitions(6 and 12 points respectively) for Kittel,Cav and Impey who should all score well at both the intermediate sprint,finish line and green jersey pts.

This lot go into the stage in 134th place.

Cav
Kittel
Impey
Gerrans
Navardauskas
Hoogerland
Terpstra
Gasparotto
Fischer

2 transfers sitting in the bank....going to want at least 4 for Ax 3 Domaines.....my favourite stage finish last year.

I know Kittel was caught up in the crash yesterday, does anyone know if Millar was too? cos he finished 198th'ish, was thinking he should of finished slightly higher
