    My team for the TT. 3 changes to be made for this afternoon.

    Michal Kwiatkowski (OPQ)
    Dylan Van Baarle (GRS)
    Alex Dowsett (MOV)
    Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
    Dylan Teuns (BMC)
    Jan Barta (TNE)
    Mark McNally (ACR)
    Rick Zabel (BMC)
    Ion Izaguirre (MOV)

    Last minute change last night when I saw that Konig had lost GC contention to replace him with Barta.

    I saved transfers for today,
    I saved transfers for today, got 339 across the two stages to finish 11th overall. Just kept going for broke trying to pick someone for the breaks rather than a cheap scorer like Zabel. Really enjoyed the race, deserves 2.HC status and will hopefully stay as a decent alternative to Worlds prep for the puncheurs and the Time-Triallists. Annoyed that both ITV and Eurosport televised all the stages EXCEPT the decisive one this morning – quite bizarre. Instead we got about 3 hours a day of Hugh Porter trying to work out how many bonus seconds people had from the Intermediate sprints (and invariably getting it wrong).

    ended up with 1,2,4,6,8,13,18 and Tuens

    Took a big risk and 20 pens for last stage.

    Out go Wiggo, Chavanel, Barta, Bauer and Izaguirre, leaves me with…

    Kittel
    Swift
    Ruffoni
    Blythe
    Van Baarle
    Kwiatkowski
    Tuens
    Dowsett
    Lander

    the 20 pens covered by the points Van Baarle and Lander will score, then hoping Lander and Dowsett duke out the sprints Jersey (I can hope at least)

    Sunday TV coverage as far as I can work out…

    Eurosport 3:30-6pm
