1 NONDOPINGBASTARDS stukas666 223

Another full house for me .....

Landa cost me a badge aswell Home in 24th and nothing taken from the break.

Just waiting on last man home for points

I think Landa will've cost me a full house badge today. Never mind; I imagine there'll be a lot of very similar scores on the board. Can't see many people having picked Geniez.

One word. Crap.

Time to start thinking about the Tour of Britain.

Thought Pinot would've been a good pun for a solo win today, but I suppose he's still more or less in GC contact

Pinot should not be driving the favourites group on when his teammate Geniez is 5 minutes up the road.

Only the basso change for me , I'm looking more at finish points and Jerseys than gambling on breakaways ( after a poor start its worked so far )

Nibs
Roche
Valverde
Konig
Pozzovivo
Kangert
Pinot
Horner

Enforced change ....Arroyo

Cantó (cat1) mountain result:

1. Nicolas Edet
2. Serge Pauwels
3. Andre Cardoso
4. Mikael Cherel
5. Warren Barguil

Luke Rowe and Baden Cooke are the latest riders to withdraw.

Basso and Majka out, ended up with:

Alejandro Valverde
Christopher Horner
Domenico Pozzovivo
Thibaut Pinot
Vicenzo Nibali
Nicolas Roche
Leopold Konig
Mikel Landa
Amets Txurruka

similar i've gone with
Valverde
Nibali
Roche
Horner
Koing
Edet
Pozzivivo
Pinot
Anacona

Surely Lampre will have a go? hoping Edet fancies the Polka in France

Had to take Basso out(Hoogerland in on a hunch!!) but I think there'll be plenty who have to make 2 two?

Nibali
Valverde
Horner
Pozzovivo
Roche
Pinot
Anacona
Hoogerland
Anton
