    Looks too technical to me for a straight forward sprint so a few GC changes for me plus a couple punchers types

    Kelderman(pozzo)
    Swift(Wellens)
    Battaglin(Monlsave)
    Quintana(Evans)
    Henao(Rabottini)

    Aru
    Majka
    Arredondo
    Uran

    As for third place, I’d (rashly?) count out Rolland as he can’t TT for toffee and is more likely after a stage win. It would be fab to see an Italian on the podium – Pozzovivo or Aru – but I still have a sneaking suspicion that Old Man Cadel will just do enough.

    I personally think it will be Quintana – Uran for the 1-2. As for third there is only 55 secs between 3rd and 9th so even Hesjedal (9th) could make it onto the podium if everything fell his way.

    The TT being uphill is anyoine’s guess đŸ˜•

    Got the full house, went for sprinters. Only really lost out on about 12 points by bringing in Bouh, Nizz and swift for Uran, Majka and Pozz. I had Wellens still which is all good. Just need a penalty tomorrow.

    You say Rolland can’t TT for toffee đŸ˜• yes on a normal TT, but this is uphill, think im gonna risk him over Uran for the next few stages

    Had Wellens but took out
    Had Wellens but took out Quintana and Pirazzi for Bouhanni and Nizzolo so covered both ways. Made up a little ground after the debacle of yesterday. Luckily for all of us PolishDave also took out Pirazzi as well.

    I was away on holiday for a couple of days so I didn’t look at any news so I didn’t know about the Rolland thing although I thought he and Hesjedal might attack. I should have put in Cataldo instead of Duarte though as I was going for mountain points as he did have a few already. Luckily Wellens turned up a few points today.

    I didn’t see yesterday’s stage live but I’ve never seen such scenes. It was like Dave’s changing who the Combativity points go to x 10000. I have a bet on Uran to win and one on Hesjedal to podium so I was simultaneously wanting Uran to fight back and Hesjedal to take back as much time as possible. I thought the second bet was dead and buried after stage one but now he’s only 45 secs back on third and with the way he is attacking and the way the race is going who knows what will happen. Even the fantasy GC is very tight.

    Shouldn’t Malacarne have gotten 2 points for 2nd KOM? Anyone else notice?
