    Seems a pretty similar stage to yesterday although the climbs are closer to the end which may thin out the bunch.  Another day for Degenkolb?

    I've made two changes, out go Rosa (DNS) and Oliphant, in come Colbrelli and Giraud so my ideal result would be pretty similar to yesterday.

    1,6,18,19 plus Pantano. Made no transfers, but if Nocentini has abandoned I’ll have to bring someone else in for tomorrow.

    So-so from my purist thus far. Having Degenkolb in has spared my blushes a bit as otherwise I think I’ve made a couple of expensive dud choices.

    1.6.8.11.15.19 for standard,
    1.6.8.11.15.19 for standard, got to be happy with that. Could keep it the same and have 6 transfers for the TT.

    And glad Napolitano wasn’t up there today, I feel better about not picking him now…

    #TourMed 19km to go and Pantano caught by 1st group. Degenkolb is there.

    #TourMed Duarte has attacked.

    This could still go either way.

    I put Vegard Staeke Laengen in for Boy Van Poppel because of his mountain points and the fact that he’s equal GC with the leaders(oh yeah and he’s as cheap as chips so gives me my spare credits for Chava on stage 4/5)…..and

    I’ve got to say Taylor Phinney’s going to be a popular boy in stage races with the age bonus points he’ll rack up!!

    I do like these kind of stages, so much more interesting than the bog standard flat stages you get in some races.

    I think the TdF could do a lot more with it’s sprint stages than it currently does, the best sprint stages last year were the ones broken up by climbs and winds, the pan flat bore-fests that are only worth watching for the last 5 minutes need to become less frequent.
