    I might have messed up today. The climb near the end is not very steep, but it is long (12km) so I decided that the GC guys’ teams will pile on the pressure and drop the sprinters.

    However the latest odds have Degenkolb, Bouhanni etc as favourites, which would help my purists, but they’re buggered anyway thanks to Meersman crashing on stage 2.

    Hopefully the bookies are wrong! May as well reveal my team as there are no surprises…

    Nibali
    Betancur
    Kelderman
    Thomas
    Sepulveda
    Gallopin
    Izagirre
    Hinault
    Rovny

    TERatcliffe, he said earlier in the race that he works evenings and that does would go up around or after 8pm for a couple of stages.

    At the moment TER is running PN, I’m running TA, Dave is running the classics and GKam is setting up the women’s world cup races.
