If anyone comes across the courage award winner yesterday, let me know. Can't find it, so someone is missing 10 points from yesterday.....

Here is my team for today, took in Chavanel, Rogers and Zabriskie, so hopefully they all get top 20 and I get another full house

Tejay van Garderen
Mathias Frank
Javier Acevedo
Carter Jones
Michael Rogers
Sylvain Chavanel
Matthew Busche
David Zabriskie
Lieuwe Westra

It was Jens Voigt. It's always available on the standings page of the live tracker.

Fair enough. All the previous stages are on there though so you can always check it at your own convenience.

I'm hoping DZ doesn't like the hill at the end 'cause I didn't bring him in. Hope it doesn't cost me a good placing overall  17

DZ might have crashed in practise...

I picked a team for the next 2 days, so I can have 4 free transfers for the last day. So none of the specialist TTers, except the ones that can climb.

Tejay, Rogers, Meyer
Euser, Acevedo, Mancebo
Craddock, Carter Jones, Busche

Schlecky was last seen sitting in the shade of the team bus with a six-pack of california coolers.. making loud statements that everybody hates him and nobody really "get him" except Frankie..

Im going different, Acevedo and Deignan back in tomorrow for DZ and Jungels. Then penalty transfers for the final stage. Should be made up for by points from Jungels and Chava. Also Chava has finished in top 20 when leading out Meersman

MOFO on DZ.....I took him in over Dennis and left Frank instead of Pinotti....seems to have failed so far with them sitting 1-2

Why didn't I pick Dennis?! Obviously he'd've been a great pick.

Bit disappointed in Chavanel. Hoping he might scrape me a point or two by not dropping out of the top twenty, but otherwise my picks are looking pretty ropey.

Unless, of course, Andy...

I have Dennis in my purist at least (just for today, same with Jungels) but same with DZ in my standard, went with him as my Garmin rider. never considered Pinotti as he won't figure tomorrow, and Jungels and DZ are the riders for using my transfers on tomorrow

Missed a trick with Westra, this looks like a massive mess for my standard team! only 4th and 6th at the moment  20

On the other hand 1st, 2nd and 4th so far for my purist team

But a definite disaster for my standard team
