    The second of a 3 part sprinters trilogy.

    Will Cav recover?,can Greipel do it again?,is Kittel feeling better?

    All will be revealed I guess

    Cavendish
    Grepel
    Sagan
    Veelers(for Freire)
    Cantwell
    Morkov(for Urtasun)
    Impey
    Boeckmans

    Also, Baden Cooke riding the last 5km on a flat tire, what a legend.

    That’s nothing! I rode 28 miles on a flat at the weekend after doing 80 and missed the second half of The Euros because of my stupid decision to take a mended inner tube out with me that didn’t work.

    A lone breakaway rider in first place over all the checkpoints in stage 8 for example would get:

    Climbs 1-5 5pts each
    Intermediate sprint 15pts
    climb 6 5pts
    climb 7 10pts
    likely combative award 10pts
    at least 4 end of day KOM comp pts

    69 points and could still bump that up by finishing last(unlikely but not impossible) and on the winners team!!!

    So pick them!!! That’s half the fun of the game. I have had several riders this year get upwards of 60 points and it gives me a far bigger kick than getting 1,2 or more in a sprint.

    And there aren’t many more points on offer this year than last. Even last year, I think intermediate sprint points in the Tour were 10 down to 1 and there are fewer points if a rider comes lower down the order on the lower cat climbs, in line with the Tour itself, compared to last year so your guy or guys has to come first or second to get much early on.

    Sunday is where i wished Casar was actually a star rider at his 16 credit price (due to my credit situation)….

    Anyway a diff frenchman will be in for sat/sun 😉

    Took out JJ too. I’m crap, have no idea what i’m doing, can’t pick a ds to save myself. Thinking that FDJ are going to send a different person into the break every day, so trying Pineau for tommorrow. What stage will Casar go for is the thing bothering me most. 14th of July is nearly pan flat. Maybe casar goes Sunday, I think i’ll try him then.

    Plan B is to go for 5 2-3 point ds and pile the rest into the stars after the TT, can’t do any worse than i’m doing. 😀 😀

    Loving the highlights
    Loving the highlights tonight, can’t believe Griepel managed to stay upright after bouncing between Farrar and Sagan (although annoyed he took out Sagan X()

    Still amazes me how good the riders are at handling their bikes in those kind of situations.

    Ha! Fair enough if he did a lot of the work in the break, I only saw the last 20k. Guilty of forming an opinion based on very little knowledge there!
    I thought I’d be average today, but actually moved up into the top 100. Can make one transfer today (Boeckmans out) and still have 4 transfers for tomorrow to get rid of my star sprinters – finding it a lot more difficult to pick stars for the weekend though!

    Ladagnous took 12th at the line and instigated the break, I think that’s fair (plus, he’s in my team).

    Ah, van Hummel 14th, better than nothing. Ladagnous gets combativity according to the LeTour website – a bit of a French decision I feel – Ghyselinck and Urtasun were the two that really went for it at the end surely?

    1,2 and not much else, Sagan and van Hummel in the crash I think. Thought the break might hold on for a sec – Phil Liggett was getting a bit confused about how close the finishing line was…

    2, 4, 12 and 14 plus 50 intermediate sprint points and hopefuly combativity. Not bad but I suspect once again that someone will be up near 200 for the stage win. Pity Sagan went down.
