    Interesting stage in store i think. A cat 2 towards the end will shake it up a bit no doubt but its still some 26kms before the end and a lot of sprinters could get back to the lead group however another kick in the tail at the end of the stage might just knock the stuffing out of them.

    Matthews and Mondory just helped keep my head above water yesterday.
    Had a few transfers up my sleeve so out goes – Serry, Moreno, Gilbert.
    In come – Stuyven, Bouhanni, Bennati. That’s it for a few stages.

    The way I’m going it’s sure to be a big mistake.

    Riders will cross the finishing line for the first time before taking on a 38 km loop around the area.
    This loop includes the first category 2 climb of this year’s Vuelta a España; Alto del Catorce por Ciento. Despite the fearful name, most of the 8 km towards the top aren’t very steep. The average gradient is set to 4.7 %. However, about a kilometer from the top, the climb lives up to its name of 14 %.

    I’m in contention for the lanterne. Nuff said.

    One change for me tonight, got rid of Castroviejo and brought in someone else. Carry over the rest of my transfers until stage 6. No doubt.

    Putting Sagan in on Stage 2 and leaving him for Stage 3 has already basically put me out of contention for anything at all.

    This is going to hurt. Phil Gil and Dani Moreno was a mistake yesterday, plus Castroviejo is out of the points. It shouldn’t be penalty time so early.

    Picking Felline over Stuyven was annoying when I took one Trek rider out after TTT

    I have had horrendous first weeks in all grand tours so far

    Going to stick wit it for this one. Todays stage suggests, Matthews, Bouhanni and Mondory out of m team should defo make it. Stuyven and Gatto weren’t too far off so again should be ok. Only slightly worried by how far off Hofland was, but going to stick with him. Also think Degenkolb will be at the finish of this one. Thinking Mas for Moreno as my only change for now maybe.
