    One of the rides of the season from Hugh Carthy….fantastic…Did Anybody bring him  in..or indeed still have him?

    Even more remarkable given how he struggled up one of those climbs already this week….

    Given recent races it will be a day for the break.

    Riders won’t want to go deep before TdF.

    But riders who aren’t doing TdF will be up for it. Pozzovivo should go for the break which could make the stage lively.

    But I suspect we will get another boring Sunday afternoon with no action.

    You can almost hear the instructions from Team Ineos. Just follow Dennis until he looks tired on the final climb. Job done.

    Plenty of riders for the break. Imhof, Costa, Soler, Frank, Sanchez, King, Carthy….loads would like to claim it. …and a few would welcome a roll in…Even Imhof and a race for KOM seems iffy….not the best rider in the world so the breakaway could leave him standing from the off with an immediate tough climb and some decent climbers in the break.

    Dennis poor show by his standards was a bit of a game changer tomorrow. I fancied the time bonus on the line would have been in play but maybe not now. Will it be a race or a parade for the GC boys?

    Should have dropped Pozzovivo rather then Hirt. Couldn’t decide who would be worse.

    I made the same mistake. I held on to Pozzovivo as if Dennis won there would have been a team mate bonus.

    Very interested to see how Kamna goes today, he was a good ITT rider up until his injury/illness but hasn’t been very good recently.

     

    Good too see Kamna back up to speed in the ITT, with his performance on the hills this week, he now looks like an up and coming GC contender.

    Now regretting not bringing him into my team in the place of Soler.

    Kung isn’t the same rider as last year, probably down to the wind tunnel Groupama use.

    Bodnar doing what he always does when I pick him, half-hearted effort.

    Should have dropped Pozzovivo rather then Hirt. Couldn’t decide who would be worse.

    Very interested to see how Kamna goes today, he was a good ITT rider up until his injury/illness but hasn’t been very good recently.

     

    Only one difference in my team.  I have Benoot for your Soler.  Two transfers for tomorrow which should be enough.

    Fully expected Dennis to slide today but nothing of the sort. I get put off him a bit from last year when he declared himself as a GC hopefull the day before a big slide. Do we expect he can do it for two days running tomorrow?…I went with Pozzovivo as the chosen one and never really contemplated both doing the business…
