    Good God, I have no idea who to put in. Is it time to swap out Thor?

    This TJV Garderen is such a thankless fella. Didn’t do a thing for the 7 stages I had him in my team and the first stage after I swap him out, he’s in the break :/

    I’m going to be watching through clenched fingers from behind the sofa as Hoogerland (couldn’t afford him!) dances out ahead of the peloton sweeping up all of the KOM and sprint points, before I tumble out of the top 50 like a member of Team Sky :”(

    Edit: f**k it. I’ve had a few drinks and I’m feeling brave. My 38 point lead over the NWales league dwindled to a meagre 4 points today, let’s see if it holds tomorrow. So if Thor somehow stays yellow, I’m bummed.

    I am right behind you Cooks – and now I know your team for tommorow! mohaha

    i already had kloden, stuck
    i already had kloden, stuck with uran and gilbert, ive gone fuglsang for feillu, and u reckon hushovd is more likely to make it through mountains than rojas? thought rojas did a pretty good job at tds, so stays in my team and not too expensive atm. kept thomas as reckon he may go in the break 2moz, jerome in as standard, kept galimzyanov as there is a flat stage on tuesday i think so dont wanna get rid of all sprint options just yet, and then hopefully my wildcard FDJ rider

    Made the changes – new GC & Voeckler. Hope he makes the break, and makes it stick, tomorrow.

    Fingers crossed ’cause given my current team tomorrow could easily turn into a single digit scoring day as well! šŸ˜

    At 2:36 down Sammy Sanchez might try and make up some time on the big descent from the cat2 climb. He’s not in my team (and pretty expensive too) but I’ve put a pound on him to win at 25-1 šŸ˜€

    He might go today but realistically it’s not the kind of stage that he’s going to make a bunch of time on, so he might as well keep his powder dry. The big climb of the day is too far out and the last climb isn’t steep enough to really work to his advantage, which is changes of pace and quick recovery.

    Got Kloden (from the start – done better than I thought), swapped Feillu for F Schleck, and regrettably swapped out Thomas for a lowly climbing DS to free up the points. Last night I should have gone for Pate instead of keeping Vichot, who was yesterday’s surprise, but foolishly stayed loyal to him. Will probably swap Thor for Cavendish for a couple of stages and then go for a cheapie sprinter.

    Big question is, will Contador attack tomorrow or wait for the big mountains?
    What do people think?
    Barring further crashes this tour should be won by a Schleck and my money is on Frank.
    Big pity about Wiggins – there are too many crashes, it’s getting crazy!
