    Not a bad start to the stage I have Combaud in the break, hopefully he can pick up a few points.

    That is the last time ever I pick Greipel.

     

    Same here, last minute change to put in Kristoff over Ewan as thought he would do better in crosswinds, but too much of a lottery to pick who will get caught out…

    I got five of the top six today to finish fifth…but i’m under no illusions that it could easily be reversed tomorrow for some of them. I’d be amazed if Kristoff finishes so lowly again….or….in fact the whole sprint thing could be relegated to a sideshow.

    you smashed it Dr Winston, nice work. Turns out Kristoff had a mechanical..his shoe broke!! enough said…

     

    Yep well done Doc. I swore I wouldn’t make a change in the first three stages but I want to take Demare out and bring in Ewan. Can I resist?

    Wind, wind and more wind again tomorrow. Echelons and trusting to luck the order of the day.

    I had matthews in Purist as well, Colbrelli my only other sprinter. The cupboard will look bare for the first three stages.

    Standard however went with 6 sprinters who all made first 8. I am happy with that.

    Ion Izagirre losing 2.50 has blown my TT heavy plans.

    So many good sprinter picks for this one. Reading the ticker I think I should have been going with the heavy mob.

    Unlucky Minardi. I was very close to getting him. I’ve put my faith in the TT boys instead with all of Jungels, Kelderman and Izzy at the expense of the extra money for Matthews. Bullett dodged.

    Picking my team for tomorrow seems to be a case of who to leave out and not who to include. Decisions.

    Difficult to know which sprinters to go with given the weather forecast.

    Quite a few are coming back from illness too. It might be a tactic to pick those who have already been ill, as they shouldn’t get the flu again.
