Good for me - no-one in the break but had a mainly GC team so didn't drop back that much. Txurruka in the purists.

Made my transfers for tomorrow - tried to play safe but I can never resist picking for the break on a day like tomorrow!

Same for me, gonna lay it safeish tomorrow, as I think Txurruka will go again on Sunday, so will bring him in for then

9 climbers, two from a certain team in the news recently!! Plus, amazingly, 2 free transfers.
Had Gilbert today plus 6 GC including the big scorers. Glad Txurruka didn't do too great, don't want Chris catching up my purist team  3

Completely throwing caution to the wind, making some bold transfers (including three penalties) so fingers crossed it pays off. I've omitted a couple of obvious choices so hoping that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.

I reckon the next few days will be GC but some people may stay away in a break, although probably not as many as today. Who they'll be is anyone's guess though as the mountain point table doesn't give you any help. Gone mainly GC tomorrow and then we'll see. I have a few spare transfers so could go on instinct for a couple of riders.

I have 7 of the top 9 on GC plus an Eusky and a Caja, with one transfer left over. Thinking today will be a GC day, but still plenty of KOM points up for grabs - and keep remembering that stage with De Gendt and Cataldo last year, not to mention Piedra's epic ride. Expecting those kind of stages to wait until next week though...

Purists need Capecchi and Txurruka to score 100 points more than Lulu Sanchez and Pozzovivo - tough ask!

I dont like taking penalties, but could get a full house I reckon today if fabian cancellara scores....so lets see a chris horner win. Hot tip. Luke Rowe might be targetting this stage.
