    Quickstep now have a rider on the front and the gap is coming down.

    Mitchelton might give a hand later.

    Good. A nice day for either of Jungels or Gilbert actually.

    They could let the break win by 10 minutes and it wouldn’t be a problem for the main GC contenders.

    To bring it back I think they need to start chasing soon. Gap 6:30 with 105km to go.

    Cort Neilsen must be favourite win now.

    I thought about keeping Ewan in too.

    Looking at the make up of the break I think it could stick. I can’t see who will work to bring it back.

    Because the day you get him in is usually the day he misses the break and sulks at the back. Apart from the days when Minardi gets him.

    I made a cock up and brought in the wrong rider, so I had to waste a transfer putting things right. 🙁

    Looks like mainly a tailwind but could be cross/tailwind in certain sections.

    Fast day coming up then. 

    I wonder if Bernal and Kwia will ride a tandem?…they may as well do…

    I wonder if anybody will be getting Bernal tomorrow?….sheesh…That boy looks really, really good…smashed the conditions as though they didn’t exist for three days.

    Swapped Jakobsen and Kittel

    Swapped Jakobsen and Kittel for Kwia and Sanchez as an insurance against the conditions. Marginal win for those swaps I think. Good for tomorrow as well.
