    160 miles of rolling terrain before a cat 2 climb to finish. Tough one to call, like yesterday!

    No changes from me (I fancy Battaglin & EBH but can’t fit them in, and saving the transfers), but what about YOU!?

    Bit of historic resonance for me too; my grandad fought at Montecassino in WWII and was also a passionate cyclist & clubman (had his own shop, in fact). If he was still around I’m sure he’d be satisfied to see the battle’s 70th anniversary commemorated with a great bike race.

    Dammit, Fedi in the break after I dropped him. Hopefully he doesn’t score many points…

    At one point yesterday I thought I was quids in as EBH,J-Rod and who I thought had to be Cunego were careering to a 1-2-3…..then Purito got busted by Cadel,EBH finished last of the first group and the Lampre rider was proven to be Ulissi(easy mistake…the PAID commentators on Eurosport had him as Niemiec!!)…….watch the replay of the last 15 minutes at

    and pretend you’re rooting for those 3 if you don’t believe me!!

    3 changes today…Ulissi and Arredondo in for Oss and Durbridge plus Uran in for J-Rod as it was the only way to afford the first two.

    No changes for me today after yesterday’s pleasant surprise. A couple of changes planned for tomorrow and then keeping the powder dry for a few days, saving up transfers for the flat and TT stages to come, and of course getting shot of that plum Evans before the 3rd week.

    Enrico Battaglin (BAR)
    Diego Ulissi (LAM)
    Rigoberto Uran (OPQ)
    Cadel Evans (BMC)
    Maarten Tjallingii (BLK)
    Enrico Gasparotto (AST)
    Michael Matthews (OGE)
    Rafal Majka (TSB)
    Julian David Arredondo (TFR)

    Yeah, its a fairly flat last
    Yeah, its a fairly flat last km so my reading of it was that Orica and Sky will want to work for Matthews and EBH, but someone like Battaglin might nip in there like last year, plus Evans/Ulissi etc. Thats just a guess though really, could just as easily see a break stay out, or a smaller group at the finish.

    I brought in Battaglin for Fedi anyway…

    Evans
    Ulissi
    Rodriguez
    Matthews
    Swift
    Battaglin
    Gasparotto
    Boem
