Paris Nice Satge 2 – Rambouillet to Saint-Georges-sur-Baulchee 205KM

Difficult with the crashes
Difficult with the crashes yesterday to tell what people’s intentions are, not to mention their injury status. I brought in Laborie – he’s virtually guaranteed the KOM jersey for at least another 2 days even if he doesn’t go in the breaks. Might not be worth it but sometimes that kind of thing pays off…

Been away all week so had limited access – picked my Roma Maxima team in 2 minutes whilst at the bar waiting to be served! Will take things a bit more seriously with this and Tirreno this week.

Degenkolb, Kristoff, Bouhanni
Coquard, Fonseca, Thomas
Laborie, Hinault, Rovny

Need full bunch sprints for my purist team to build up a lead, hoping the crosswinds behave themselves! (PURIST – Meersman, Bouhanni, Degenkolb, Coquard, Kristoff, Fonseca, Hinault, Van Emden, Rovny)
