    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

    Break is home isn’t
    Break is home isn’t it…there goes the first 20 spots 🙁 hope I am massively wrong. Over 10 mins 60km ???

    Would think if break sprint finishes, felline and Geshcke hard to beat.

    Well I missed me trades
    Well I missed me trades yesterday, knew Rolland and Henao would hurt me.
    was hoping I could make a bit of ground up today 🙁 I didn’t think this would be a sprint as the last climb is 1.1km hitting 16 and 18% . 20km out tho, would be good chance to have a crack. sounds like a MINI Mur De Hoy .lol.

    Tried to find some break riders and tougher fast men, FAILED, I think , bloody wellens is killing me since I gave him a wrap.

    IN BATTAGLIN, HAAS, HANSEN.

    Aru
    Evans
    Quintana
    Kelderman
    Arredondo
    Battaglin
    Haas
    Hansen
    Fedi
    No Hansen or others in break 🙁

    Gee the know how to balls an event up, remember the air banner falling on road in front of leaders break last year, lol.

    Bought in the big 3 sprinters
    Bought in the big 3 sprinters and looking at 20 penalty points tomorrow so if this sprint. doesn’t happen I’m screwed again , although my gc guys negate some of the penalties , I’ve had to gamble again if I want to try and make a late surge in the fc stakes =P~

    Taken a bit of a gamble
    Taken a bit of a gamble bringing in Santoramita & Ulissi (thinking break, so if anyone else has them in their team – my apologies in advance if I’ve ruined it by picking them 😉 ) and then Nizzollo in case there’s a sprint (so I don’t do quite as badly 🙂 )

    It’ll be interesting if
    It’ll be interesting if Quintana or Rolland(remember he has form for attacking in dubious circumstances in the ‘tacks on the road’ stage in Wiggo’s TDF?) has a mechanical?

    Sticking with GC contenders
    Sticking with GC contenders and saving my transfers for later mountain stages. Got in Quintana and Arredondo for Evans and Duarte.

    Swift, Nizzolo, Mezgec,
    Swift, Nizzolo, Mezgec, Bouhanni and… Battaglin.

    No Viviani, but the guy I don’t have who perhaps I should is Haas. Saying that, not gambling on hunches has worked quite well for me so far.

    Also, the big descent at the start might suggest a Hansen escape, but again that’s a big gamble, so I’m not going for it. Also the sprinters already made the mistake of not gunning for the break this Giro and I doubt they’ll be happy to let another get away
