TDF Stage Twelve...

Ok, getting in early doors as am out riding in the AM.

I'm going flat out (as it were) for a bunch sprint. My team (from memory, I'm doing this from me mobile) are:

Sagan
Cav
Kittel
Willems
D. Van Poppel
Lobato
Bonnet
El Fares
Kristoff

So a big hedge on Greipel not winning the stage. I happen to think this one's for Cavendish - but what about youse lot?!

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Yesterday's deadline fiasco(my fault....I know!!)has left me with a TT team for the sprints and I'm loathe to make it worse with penalties so:

Froome
Kwiatkowski
Kristoff
S.DuMoulin
Kittel
Serpa
Hoogerland
Gadret
Fischer

It actually doesn't look that bad if you look at it long enough LOL

Didn't do too bad, did it?

106pts today....outside the top 1000(1001st actually)......not great either!!

To be honest it's not a great deal different from what I would have had if I'd made the TT changes in time so losing the 133pts on the TT stage hurt more......missing the deadline was bad but missing it and not noticing and putting the TT'ers in was the real blunder and as i've said elsewhere ALL MY FAULT!!.

Sagan in for Froome for friday and probably no changes for saturday leaving me 5 for Mont Ventoux....and an alarm well and truly set for that.

Nobody in the attack for me:

The five stage leaders who are 45" ahead at 6km
The escapees early in stage 12 are:

- Gavazzi (AST)
- Sicard (EUS)
- Mori (LAM)
- Flecha (VCD)
- Delaplace

Lead up to 1'45", that's your break for the day.

Looks like the best result for me would be a DVP, Sagan, Cav 1-2-3 as those are the riders most seem to be missing one of.

Most likely a Cav win, Sagan second and DVP somewhere in the top 5 would be great.

3 pens for me too

Sagan, Greipel, Cav, Kittel, Bonnet + 2 others and 2 greyed out. No changes for the next 3 stages so I can make 6 for sundays stage.

3 pens - normally not my preferred tactic so feels a bit wrong!

Sagan, Greipel, Kristoff, Kittel, Dumoulin, Bonnet plus 3

Sagan and Griepel rather than Cav for me. He just doesn't seem as interested now that Sagan has such a big lead.

I think Cav will be very fired up after the last couple of days. Made 6 transfers (4 pens).
All out sprint team but no Sagan again  39
