    Anthony Ravard
    Linus Gerdemann

    Thats the top ten for the stage

    Top ten for the GC looks like this

    Damiano Cunego 12.29.23
    Juan Mauricio Soler 54sec
    Bauke Mollema 1.16
    Laurens Ten Dam 1.19
    Tejay Van Garderen 1.21
    Frank Schleck 1.25
    Jakob Fuglsang 1.32
    Danilo Di Luca 1.53
    Steven Kruijswijk 2.00
    Levi Leipheimer 2.10

    So i thought i’d take Garderen out and put Cunego in, could of been a mistake today 🙁

    But i think looking at it, i could have done alright got 8th with Linus and then hopefully another few in the 11-20,, still got 4 guys high in the GC

    Thought of something in the shower this morning chaps.

    Some players are putting in Domestiques likely to make a break – but check the TdS scoring in the stage listing. There’s no fantasy points for intermediate sprints or mountain tops. IIRC this is due to Dave having doubts about sourcing results immediately after the stage in order to run up the scores (as it turns out, they’re all up on cyclingnews, but there’d be uproar if he changed it now, I fear).

    So unless the break stays away, I don’t think there’s a huge amount of point to it 😐

    Yeh but the main of the sky
    Yeh but the main of the sky team that will be in the tour rode the dauphine, although i do rate ben swift from this line up, although seems henderson may get the nod for tour.

    As for astana, i rate gasparotto who is racing here, again the only real one in this team, the likes of tiralongo and di gregorio along with kreuziger and maybe kiserlovski will ride the tour and they will be much stronger there

    OK so it is fantasy cycling
    OK so it is fantasy cycling so try this one. If Voigt, Leipheimer,chavanel,andy schleck get up the road with a rabo say Hesjedal and a euskatel, they could steal some real time, and if it fails andy can help Frank. There will be devestation on that climb, and I think the all rounders and time trialists that have stayed near the top will fall away, clarifying the overall.
    It is notable that Sky and Astana are nowhere

    Why are all the players I
    Why are all the players I wanted in Rabobank,
    anyway..
    Cunego, Hushovd, Mollena, Sagan, Frank Schleck, Mathias Frank, Gerdemann, Krujkswick, Stybar.

    But wanted Ten Dam and Chavanel.

    The problem is that this race is over for anybody outside about 2 min 30 off the pace, and I can’t think of anybody coming out the pack. Unless Schleck says right guys follow me tomorrow, because lets face it, he needs a bit in hand for the TT. If Sagan can stay in touch tomorrow, then I think he could be the outright winner of the points classement.

    I think Bakelandts has had a shot and wont go tomorrow, Lastras Garcia could be a good shout tho, i was looking at him at the start, but didn’t do anything, so left it

    Well Fluoxetine i have to agree, i dont think any of them will score points on their own, BUT, if you have faith in someone making a break away and staying away, getting a sprinter from their team right would make you 5 extra points 😀

    Also, isn’t it true that if loads of people pick him, his value will go up… 😕

    I couldn’t afford Frank, by 0.1 credits. It’s times like that where it’s tempting to just nip into the database and award yourself a bonus 🙂

    Soler FTW, I reckon*

    Quite happy with that, but i want to see Cunego, Mollema, Kruijswijk, Frank Schleck and some guy called Alberto ALGUACIL LOSADA

    That would do be for a top 5, lol
