TdP stage 5
is all ive got to say. Is it me or do the stage profiles give a very false impression of the stage?
Swift won, Viviani 2nd, the two riders i transferred out, as the profile in no way suggested it would be anything like a sprint

Put in Kwiatkowski and Henao, which worked out ok. Lucky I left in Swift. Tomorrow will be a bit tougher though.
Got 2nd, 6th, 9th, 13th, 16th and 18th plus 1,2,3,11 and the usual +5 twice for Swift winning. Should be a canny score.
Me 2 stage profile for Fantasy Cycling said high mountains! so i naturally assumed no sprint finish.......transferred Swift and Vivianni out! lucky picked up points for climbs and intermediate sprint's!
I don't think you'll have much of a break away tomorrow. The big climbers are going to be the only ones at the front
Well, I got 1, 9, 16, 18 but only because I didn't have enough transfers to take Ben Swift out. I'm quite glad about that now. Wish I had any idea about some of these riders so I could have a chance at guessing who's going to be in tomorrows breakaway.
i got 9th 16th and 18th, then 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th on GC, just annoyed that the two i take out came 1st and 2nd.
I got the impression that the last km was much more uphill than it actually was, and i seem to think the commentators thought that too!

I got 9th, 11th and 14th I think +5
I could have told you it was going to be a sprint. But I'm only purist in this to keep the points rolling. Its a shocking race with even worse coverage and tomorrow is just a killer stage that even the TdF wouldn't even think about putting in.
