    Setting this comp up now, hopefully opening tomorrow. I’m awaiting decent profiles from PCS, the official ones are pants. Some curious things with the start list as well. Two of the folk down for the Swiss Cycling Team are in the Tour of the Alps for their trade teams, I’ll update these guys later today or tomorrow; and Patrick Muller is racing for Vital Concept at Liege, so he’ll be a late edition.

    No TDG might hurt tomorrow though.

    I dropped Roglic after I read JumboVisma were riding for Kruijswijk, although on refelection I think this race is Roglic’s to lose and he will score points in all the stages unilke Kruijswijk.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say no one has Tratnik, possibly not even in purist.

    I put Colbrelli in instead ready for tomorrow…and he played a stormer.

    I looked at Tratnik but his last short ITT in Tirreno was far from impressive, so didn’t consider him at all.

    Fortunatley I went with Colbrelli like Dr W.

    Otherwise not a great stage for me. Will Clarke disappointed, my outsider pick Moschetti didn’t come off, Ganna disappointed and Campanaerts crashed.

    Swapped Tratnik out of my purist this morning along with Fatty, Not sure what I was up to really because I ended up with a very strange team that doesn’t make much sense to me now.

     

    Kruijswijck

    Grosschartner

    Martinez

    Kung

    Buckmann

    Zakarin

    Evenepoel

    Costa.

    Standard was always going to be a gamble I’m not too distressed although wish I’d left Thomas in.

    Oh well. He must be in just about every team anyway. Makes tomorrow’s transfers easier.

    But seriously it is a tricky one. I’m just betting that there won’t be many sprints. I can see one that probably will be a sprint.

    Agreed. I’m taking the risk of having a thin day on that day three because I can’t see the points for sprinters other than that one.

    A lot of this race will revolve around how committed Thomas a Roglic are. The timing is better for Kruiswijk with Roglic playing second fiddle…but then again does he even have a second fiddle…Thomas with no form whatsoever  could be there for turning his legs over mainly…like Froome the last time out. Or maybe they’ll both deliver.

    No idea what to do

    No idea what to do strategically for this one. Two TT’s complicates matters. Can we have another eight transfers please Andy…

    Even with Giro favourite

    Even with Giro favourite Roglic on the start list, I’d be willing to bet he can win this race peddling with his face. That’s if Geraint Thomas isn’t in form yet. Otherwise Jumbo are there for Kruijswijk. Either way, what I’m trying to say is the start list is a bit lacking compared to previous years.
