    Cards on the table time, I’ve gone for mostly punchy sprinters and climbers today, apparently the finish is very tough to control for a full sprint train to the extent that a win for Cav is far from guaranteed even at full fitness.

    Costa
    Machado
    Modolo
    Napolitano
    Majka
    Selvaggi
    Kelderman
    Coquard
    Livramento

    My purist team is stacked towards GC rather than sprinters

    Kwiatowski
    Costa
    Machado
    Kelderman
    Modolo (my token sprinter)
    Coquard (my cheap sprinter)
    Paulinho (top 20 last year)
    Sancho
    Livramento

    Annoyed I couldn’t squeeze Coppel in there, he’s my outside shot for a top 5.

    Thats why I had Kwiatkowski, because if it does go wrong, he could still will the sprint

    #VoltaAlgarve After about 10km Fonte, Afonso, V Pereira, Pliuschin &, B Silva Via @Movistar_Team

    Sounds like they have about three minutes on the peloton.
