ToQ Stage 4
No changes for me this time as I couldn't get Phinney in for Bookwalter without sacrificing Guardini or Kruopis and I reckon they'll both top 5 today.
Extra insurance against any eliminations too.
Cav
EBH
Bookwalter
Blythe
Krupois
Guardini
Velits
Delle Stelle
Rasch
Purists:Cav,Voss,Degenkolb,Kruopis,VanAvermaet,Guardini,Elmiger,Huffman,Modolo(out).

the reults are online
Most of BMC crashed with less than 3k to go and rolled in 5 mins down, thanking the 3k rule.
Totally missed it today
I think Degenkolb was in the top 20 for me too, but I may axe him tomorrow, maybe go Kristoff and Guardini in
Ah crap, was hoping that Blythe would do something, should have picked Markus but totally forgot about him when making my changes...
Seems 2 of my 3 transfers worked
Cav
Markus
Guardini
Fortin
Kristoff
Cantwell
Bouhanni
Kruopis
EBH
Appolonio
glad I got him out
there was a crash too, Haussler?
Cav won from Markus and Guardini I think, Viviani 4th maybe?
Cav wins, Markus, Guardini, Kristoff, Cantwell, Bouhanni, EBH
ANd another puncture. Hutarovich is out of this.
Hutarovich punctured and will not figure in sprint
Hutarovich punctures at 5 to go
Break over 8km left
Break sits up. All over at 9km to go
down to less than a minute now with 10km left
2'05" at 15km, this race is coming back together fast!
Seems unlikely - down to 2:55 mins with 18km to go
Looks like saving 4 transfers might have paid off if these three can stay away?
Grivko, Lang and Smukulis
3 riders with 4 minutes on the peleton with 23km to go
Ive gone
Cav
Degenkolb
Van Avermaet
Kruopis
Haussler (for viviani)
Fortin (for Roylston)
Markus (for Hutarovich)
Rasch
Jang
I took a big risk and made a penalty transfer today dropping Degenkolb and Bookwalter (plus Voss) picking up Haussler, Blythe and Guardini.

Kruopis
Haussler
Rasch
Devolder
Le Bon
