    Unpredictable day today.  After a poor weekend and finding myself 200 points down on the lead I've decided it's time for a hail mary.

    Four transfers for me today (including two penalties)

    Out: Nizzolo, Ferrari, Appollonio, Tjallingii

    In: Pirazzi, De Gendt, Hansen, Bandiera

    Which gives me: Evans, Pirazzi, De Gendt, Hansen, Bouhanni, Mezgec, Swift, Bandiera, Colli

    In theory I’m covered against both a sprint (unlikely) and breakaway. The only result that would really scupper my chances would be a GC shoot-out on the final climb/descent

    That cost me 20 Pens but hopefully not too many changes for tomorrow.

    Ah, that’s why Finetto is one of the favourites…

    Same sort of thing for me
    Same sort of thing for me today, no pens. Last day for Gasparotto, so hopefully he will score some points at long last.

    Team picked with half an eye on tomorrow, and the thinking that apart from a couple of TT specialists, the people putting in 100% will be the GCers.

    Diego Ulissi (LAM)
    Rafal Majka (TSB)
    Rigoberto Uran (OPQ)
    Giacomo Nizzolo (TFR)
    Wilco Kelderman (BLK)
    Enrico Gasparotto (AST)
    Fabio Aru (AST)
    Davide Appollonio (ALM)
    Marco Bandiera (AND)

    Armee
    Romero

    Prepared for a disappointing day but there’s a small chance it could be very good.

    Think De Gendt is probably focusing on tomorrow but no harm in bringing him in today if that’s the case. Will be difficult to avoid picking him when they hit the Stelvio though!

    De Gendt should be good for
    De Gendt should be good for the TT tmw, not so sure about today, maybe Poels instead?

    I suspect Arredondo and Pirazzi will also be making a move alongside many of those who only have this stage for themselves.

    I’ve gone GC today on the whole, which will mean a solid if unspectacular score.

    The bookies are looking to EBH, and with Matthews having abandoned he is a fair shout. Can’t see a GC shootout unless Ulissi goes for it today with the TT being tmw.

    Two birthday boys Dylan Van
    Two birthday boys Dylan Van Baarle and Mark Cavendish.

    One of them is not riding so he is not in my team.

    Erred on the side of caution and focusing more on tomorrow.

    Mostly GC today but Hansen, De Ghendt, Finetto and Bongiorno are my favourites for the breakaway which I think will stick. Had a real flutter on Rosa and Rabbotini, long odds, probably just throwing money away, but might make it interesting.
