Tour De France stage 3 Ajaccio > Calvi

Brought in an OPQS and Movistar for a Sojasun and AG2R. Meaning I have a Greenedge, Sky, Movistar, OPQS, Garmin, Liquigas, Lampre, Sojasun and FDJ

Was really happy with my team for tomorrow until I realised I don't have any Sky or Movistar. Careless! Oh well, at least I have flexibility for what to do on Weds.
Team for tomorrow - OPQ, Garmin, BMC, Katusha, Orica x2, Astana, Sojasun and VCD. Could really do with a Garmin win...

1 each from SKY, OGE, MOV, OPQ, GRM, BMC - they should all at least score, and good chance of some GC points too depending on how it all pans out. i fancy Garmin for the win and Millar for the yellow. I don't reckon Valverde will want it?

Not sure, I doubt Movistar will want any of their GC guys to drop time they don't need to so I expect them to go all out. Although, could Valverde drop off the back at the finish and let Quintana take it?

Either way, I think all the teams will be going full pelt.

Movistar/OPQS/Sky/Garmin for the win, Greenedge up there somewhere, and apparently Cannondale came with TTT focused team thinking they might be trying to defend a Sagan yellow.

It was in one of the emails/posts and its on the scores page.

Makes it vaguely important at least rather than the total throwaway TTTs usually are. There'll be some decent (160+, maybe even 180+) scores tomorrow.

That'll teach me not to skip over those emails.

I have it down as this for the result. Sky, Garmin, OPQS, Movistar, Greenedge, BMC, Astana, Liquigas, Radioshack, Lampre

EBH in yellow, Kwiatkowski to stay in white

I think sky will post a decent time but they are effectively 2 men short to start with .....not even sure G will be starting tbh
My money's on Garmin OPQS and BMC as a 123

1 and 2 and the rest won't do(Gerro and Sagan)

1,2,4,5 plus millar today, 18th on the stage, dizzy heights of 41st overall

Am i missing something here - can anyone explain why millar is down in the GC - he was second yesterday and appears to have had same time today? Now he's 7th?

107 (including my 20 point penalty). Average day but moved up a couple of hundred places in the overall. Not happy with how these first few days have gone.

Gamble paid off for me , 10 point penalty however
1,2,4,7 stage
Plus gc plus sprint plus youth plus int sprint points ..... Good day that should see me climb a few places

Solid for me as well - 1,2,5 and nothing else of note...

How did the intermediate sprint go today?

1,2,11 on the stage for me, 3,5 on GC

should be solid

2, 4, 7, 9 plus points for Kittel.

Gerrans would have been a better choice than Simon, but I never know with Orica who's going to go so I steer clear of them.

1,2,4 or me plus 3,4,7 GC and 1,4 on points standings. Also some white jersey points. I make that about 100 points (including my -20 in penalties).

And GC is:

1. BAKELANTS Jan
2. SIMON Julien
3. GERRANS Simon
4. KWIATKOWSKI Michal
5. BOASSON HAGEN Edvald
6. IMPEY Daryl
7. MILLAR David
8. LAGUTIN Sergey
9. EVANS Cadel
10. BARDET Romain

1 Gerrans
2 Sagan
3 Rojas
4 Kwiatkowski
5 Gilbert
6 Flecha
7 Gavazzi
8 Bouet
9 Simon
10 Insausti

2,4,7 for me
