    I’ve started this one really early as i’m on day shift tomorrow so wont get a chance to update anything.

    Its the second longest stage and mostly flat till the sting in the tail just before the end. I cant see the first cat 4 getting rid of to many sprinters but the second will.

    A short blast down the other side to the finish line awaits anyone who can get over the top first.

    I’ve got rid of all my sprinters bar one.

    The weather is predicted to be wet with a chance of lightning.

    I’ve brought Nibs in after seeing the weather and the downhill bit to finish which is right up his street.

    Due to my picks though it will no doubt be fine weather and all the sprinters will make it over the last hill together ready for a sprint finish………….. #o

    Keeping all my sprinters in except Kittel.

    That’ll be Sagan, Kristoff, Demare, Van Popp, Coquard.

    Intermediate sprint points plus points even if they don’t get over the last hill, which some will.

    Tricky one indeed. Only got one sprinter left though, because he might get some intermediate points if there isn’t too big a break and he might get 5 if the person I think will win does make it this time. Otherwise I hope I’ve got the winner, a big GC guy who’s worth a 10 point penalty if he doesn’t fall off, the inevitable green jersey and someone who did well today and could do just as well tomorrow and who I needed to afford the GC guy. Got rid of anyone who’s crashed or lost form and Coquard, which could be a mistake.

    Will be driving tomorrow afternoon for a weekend break to a place the tour started in from the place it last set off from in England, so I won’t be able to watch it. Couldn’t watch yesterday due to work but caught the end of the stage today and that was still pretty good. This could be the best tour for quite some time.

    All three of my cheap guys have now got points from breaks, Gerard today. The high scores for intermediate sprints gives a whole different dimension to the tour. Will keep one of them I think and then go hunting for those key MPs.

    I’ve kept three sprinters (of five) in, not least because two of them will be in the running and the other should get reasonable (in fantasy terms) placing (or lanterne rouge!). Taking penalties for riders who *could* get a breakaway/solo win is a path to massive point-loss (in my experience anyway) so I’m playing this one fairly safe. The two fellas I’ve got in should be good value till the rest day and perhaps beyond.

    60/40 to me whether S7 will be a win-from-the-break/solo attempt, or a bunch sprint from the more punchy guys. Certainly the stage itself looks tailor-made for a breakaway win but it’ll need to be a strong group of riders, even if the peloton decide to have a slow day (which would not surprise me, given the last couple of stages and the upcoming hills). Annoyingly, I’ve got the day off tomorrow but I’m not expecting fireworks, viewing-wise.

    These are the stages that create gaps in fantasy leaderboards. Will the sprinters survive? Will a late attacker hold on for the win?

    I have a suspicion we may see some GC attacks tomorrow so swapped out a few sprinters myself ….my only concern is will Spartacus get over the final climb and attack?
