    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

    I never saw today as being a day for the sprinters….I actually brought in Paolini and Arashiro as I thought that the stage suited their punchy styles….Chuffed for Pirazzi though…
    I spoke to him before the Stoke on Trent start in last years Tour of Britain, and in my broken English/Italian I said,” Love you as a rider but why do you keep going in these crazy breaks at times….”
    His reply in even worse broken English/Italian was, “I cannot stop myself, I just love to ride my bike the same as when I was 5 years old…”
    Said with the biggest grin on his face that you could ever wish to see…

    And I think that just about sums him up…..Brilliant attitude… 🙂

    Weren’t Paddy’s refunding losing bets if an Italian won the stage? Strings attached, no doubt, but that was the offer I saw.

    Ha ha! Just got home to see the result! Not a single guy in the top twenty, just whatever scraps from classifications and a couple of team-mate bonuses.

    That was a waste of five transfers… :”(

    He is certainly a talent… last year I marked down Killer Kwaitowski and Magic Majka for this year…
    This year I have marked Wellens and Preidler (LTB and GIANT have some good climbing youth coming thru) before here tho… and Aru just gets better, his improvement last 12 months extraordinary . He couldn’t stay with Majka and Kelderman most of last year.
