    5 threats to GC in the break

    5 threats to GC in the break

    Ciccone, Meurisse, Teuns, Pollitt & Bernard.

    Interesting to see if Ciccone is going for KoM or the stage.

    All the sprint points taken up by the break.

    Tomorrow may not be straight forward. A lot of very good riders throwing time away already may prove to be a problem for us with a decent sized, and talented, breakaway.  Our worst nightmare is to throw transfers at it only to watch a 20 man break ride up the road with the points. Alaphillipe complicates matters as well…

    Agreed, anything can happen on this stage.

    Not worth risking transfers with a sprint stage tomorrow.

    Key question for tomorrow.

    Looking forward to the “pretty ladies” finish, 1km longer than usual with gravel and a 24% section. No flating on the gravel section please.

    Brought in Alaphilippe & Wellens for today, good result for me but could have been so much better.

    I too brought in Alaphilippe and Wellens. I was tempted with Trentin and Van Aert too, but thought about saving the transfers. Van Aert just a shade too expensive for me to justify it.

    I bought in WVA and Wellens (left Alaphilippe in Yesterday instead of Viviani). Big changes tonight but how to play it?????? and get sprinters back for Friday.

    Thanks for sorting the tables
    Thanks for sorting the tables!

    Yeah today was as good as I could’ve hoped for really, would’ve had van Aert and Trentin if it was unlimited transfers but didn’t want to risk it. Enjoying paying more attention tho, I’ve hardly watched a race all year!

    Typical Trentin, I dropped him for today because he didn’t go for intermediate sprints yesterday. I now expect him to win tomorrow’s stage.

    Trentin, Alaphilippe, Teunissen, Bettiol out.

    Viviani, Groenewegen, Ewan, Meurisse in.

    Not expecting much today, will be a bonus if Wellens gets in the break but mainly preserving transfers. Anyone know if the tables are likely to be updated anytime soon?

    I was having a hell of a time with it last night. Dave’s going to try and sort it today and Hitman was able to get the update through this morning.

    Only bought Ewan and Groenwagen in. couln’t bring myself to replace Alaphilippe with Viviani. kicking myself now.

    Yesterday evening I had only brought in Viviani & Ewan for Alaphilippe & Bettiol.

    I wish I hadn’t tinkered this morning, 14 points lost by swapping out Teunissen & Trentin.

    Not sure what we are going to get tomorrow.

     

    Me either, but it’s about time Sagan won one, but I’m afraid that last climb will be too much only 20k after to the line. I suppose it depends how hard they ride it, but I should think they’ll be no sprinters involved at the end.
