    A flat stage along the coast, the peloton may be broken up by the winds but the run in to the finish is pretty long and away from the coast and it’s all likely to come back together again. Pretty much a cast iron sprint finish.

    Will Cav win again? Can Sagan make it 3? Can Griepel/Goss ever move out of Cavendish’s shadow? Is Kittel feeling better? Is Morkov totally cooked or will be away again?

    Whenever I put Cav in he crashes. I was going to put in Greipel originally. Hut and van Hummel also caught up in it. These sprint stages are high in luck. They killed me in the Giro. At least they all got some intermediate points. I hope I’m luckier tomorrow.

    you should have told me 😉

    to be honest i chose between Cav and Arishiro or greipel and morkov….

    debated whether morkov would go in the break and stuck with my original plan knowing arishiro can sprint, so thinking he may figure at the end. overall i think they scored similar between them. and was all going fine till the intermediate sprint. Then Cav and Haedo and Lancaster all up caught in the crash

    For tomorrow ive bought in izagirre for simon ready for the mountains at the weekend and veelers for haedo.

    Thanks Chris

    Even the Cav crash didn’t spoil it….he still got 12 in the intermediate plus 2 for 4th in the points comp.

    Good day for my sprint DS’ today(Impey 18,Cantwell 18,Boeckmans 14).

    Boo!

    I think my issue has always been that I see the stage win as the biggest prize and someone outscoring the stage winner’s 35 points for getting first across a sprint, HC and cat 1 seems to undervalue the finish line.
