Tour de France Stage 17

Interesting stage today!

My team:

Froome
Quintana
Rodriguez
Fuglsang
Jungels
Pauwels
Perichon
Sicard
Plaza

Running low on transfers, need to save some for Sunday. So I've gone for overall contenders and mountains jersey contenders. Hoping for some breakaway success with Pauwels and Sicard as well.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

I've hitched my horse to the Fuglsang wagon but I'm beginning to fear that he's content to play domestique for the rest of this Tour with Nibali seemingly deadset on a Top 5. Ugh.

Looks like triccky100 has had a bit of a coup with A. Yates and Frank.

This is a great stage and finally the other teams attacking Sky. Interesting Sky put two of Froome's support team - Porte and Roche into the break. to cover Movistar it appears.

Can see Majka doing well today, mainly because I had him in my team, and swapped him out last minute!
Lol, we will see!

J-Rod not gone for the break, does he reckon he can stay with the GC guys and then attack and they wont let the break have too much?  39

Looks like Meintjes wont be doing much today, has Gastro probs

not much love for Van Garderen and rightly so, dropped on the first climb!

He was in my team for the Pyrenees, but I got the feeling he doesn't have the legs to attack and maybe take a stage win.
He must not be feeling good to be already over a minute down!

A nice team Condor, plenty of KOM points on offer over the next few stages, so you have a good chance of posting some high scores. I've gone with this:

CHRISTOPHER FROOME (SKY)
ROMAIN BARDET (ALM)
NAIRO ALEXANDER QUINTANA (MOV)
ADAM YATES (OGE)
PIERRE ROLLAND (EUC)
ROBERT GESINK (TLJ)
MATHIAS FRANK (IAM)
SERGE PAUWELS (MTQ)
RUBEN PLAZA (LAM)

Nice team, you have Yates (in the break) and Bardet to my Laporte and J-Rod. Gonna need a decent effort from J-Rod to beat your team today
