    Going to keep Viv, Griepel and Modolo in for tomorrow. I could change one or two of them for a MM rider but i think it will end up in another bunch sprint, its to early for one of the GC boys to give it a go as they wont want to protect the pink jersey for 3 weeks.

    It was Greipel that took Modolo out, he was on Matthews wheel and Greipel shouldered him out

    Not sure if it will be a sprint, maybe will just axe Lobato and see how it plays with Viv and Greipel.

    Just 1,3,7 and Clarke 3rd on GC for me, but considering I have Meersman, Battaglin and D Caruso with tomorrow in mind im not too dissapointed. Just Lobato who I feel let me down from my team.

    Now who to bring in for tomorrow, Greipel and Lobato out I think, maybe Viv too :?

    I had Lobato as well; he must have been held up in the crash. As I’m not sure if he’s injured or not I’ve taken him out for Nizzolo and got rid of van Poppel. I expect it to be another sprint as I think it’s too far away from the finish for any GC team to attack on the 2 but if there are more crashes and a GC contender is left out of position it could get interesting. Pozzovivo already out of it!

    you say that Twy, but will Lindeman score more today than the 18 points Tosatto scored yesterday? I doubt it unless he wins both sprints 😕

    Lindeman was in one of my previous team incarnations. He may not finish the tour but given the lack of big hills in the first two weeks I thought he would be in breaks for the first week.

    Fair enough, Im gonna stick with Tosatto and hope he goes tomorrow
