    Looks like it may be cancelled on the Stelvio as it’s snowing heavily. A shorter route planned with much less climbing and lower category mountains ie no Cima Coppi. Hope you haven’t changed your team yet!

    Duarte and wellens in for kelderman and Godoy. Banking on Quintana and pozzovivo being better than they are trying to portray.

    I picture the two of them with a two minute lead on the final climb

    I was fairly conservative as I wasn’t sure what was happening with the weather. Was always thinking De Gendt for today if Uran was out of the running, and Pirazzi if not, but thought Wellens was too obvious to miss, so couldn’t quite afford Pirazzi. Ditched Pozz. Have a feeling Rolland might be the guy who really takes off this week.

    Quintana, Uran, Aru, Majka
    Arredondo, Wellens, Pellizotti, Rolland, Armee

    I’m just behind you in the GC (3 points behind, I think), but chapeau for the bravery!

    Well, I’ve taken a risk and dumped Pirazzi and Pozzovivo and brought in Quintana, Rolland, Wellens and Monsalve, hoping to make up for a few disastrous transition stages last week B-)

    * are for the break, rest for GC. I dropped Pozzo (illness), Landa, Duarte and Bandiera so hoping none of them does much (Duarte is my main worry, I believe the stories of illness re Pozzovivo).

    Ive got Quintana ad Pozz, I did fancy Rolland, but in order to have Rolland I couldn’t have my guy for the break (1 of them), well I have three for the break, but 1 is a 3 credit rider.

    If it makes you feel any better Quintana has an ear infection and Pozzo has bronchitis.

    I have some mild doubts on both the ear infection and the bronchitis, so I kept Quintana and Pozzo… I was just saying that I regretted not picking other breakaway guys…

    Stelvio looks very cold indeed on the webcam.
