    Hoping it’s the day a mountain break stays away as it’s not a summit finish so got Intxausti and Betancur. Thought about Pirazzi but he’s had no luck so far so I haven’t bothered in the end. Wasted some transfers taking Intxausti out then back in again but still got 13 left so I can go back to a pure GC team for the next two then have some transfers for the last day. I may end up not using all my transfers!! Anyone want to buy them?

    Put Visconti in today and he was close to making the break, but no cigar. I hope I don’t rue that decision with my transfers running out and Beñat Intxausti KOM points on the horizon.

    i’ve loved it! I think you’re right that it’s too easy to have all the riders you want, but i put the blame on Uran and Porte, not the budget! 🙂

    Gilbert the favourite. Anyone got him. Probably quite a few had him yesterday and kept him in. Hesjedal doing well again.

    cheers backflip !!

    and Landa got caught in a crash and Contador decided to take ‘revenge’ in a way that makes sense with what is to come and his lead.

    This is very much LA effort …

    Well, just got back and found out Landa is way back. Was it a mechanical? Contador just too strong?

    Beat you by a fraction Phil. I’ll leave it to you now as I’m going to pick up my wife’s bike, which needed a new rear wheel, and hoping the cycling is on when I get back!

    Cunego and Pineau have abandoned.
