    No other sprinter is going to score more points that the much maligned Cav on stage 12. 😉

    From report of Spanish road
    From report of Spanish road champs:

    “Contador made the decisive move on the tough category-two climb, the Desierto de Las Palmas. Rojas was the only one able to follow the surge…”

    My mountains tactic = fill up with Spaniards and bleeding carrots.

    My team for a day of
    My team for a day of pain….

    EVANS – Be surprised if the other GC`s drop him today
    ROJAS – Best climbing sprinter by a mile
    URAN – Cheap and has been quiet…Possible breakaway
    SCHLECK F – Because he will be holding his brothers hand
    TOMMY.V – Biggest bollocks in the peleton and will hold yellow
    RUI COSTA – Good climber and might go up the road today
    JEANNESSON – Riding well and poss white jersey points
    JEROME – Lanterne Rouge holder but under threat from 50 other riders today
    PATE – Transfers made,so I really have an 8 man team as Mr Pate will get zilch….

    My selection:

    Evans (this may be his last appearance for the Lactics)
    Rojas Gil (hoping he can hold on for the intermediate sprint and keep the PC points too)
    Minard (Bastille day roll of the dice: hopefuly he can double-team with Dupont to drag themselves up the hills)
    Gilbert (much as for Rojas Gill)
    Voeckler (Bastille Day pride: should hold on to sufficient GC and KM points, even if he loses yellow)
    Dupont (Bastille Day again: with Gadret gone, his climbing lieutenant from the Giro may get a chance to shine)
    Jeannesson (Vive le France! Crossed fingers he can hold onto his WJ points)
    Jerome (he’s still got a 2min 40sec cushion over Steegmans)
    Perez Lezaun (Euskaltel, in case Sammy S rides off FTW and a bit of Spanish pride for the Pyrenees)

    The Lactics are banking on patriotic fervour to see them through today

    Haha, I tried to make you all pick Cav, and I’ve got Rojas, but it didn’t work. I am going for Euskatel for the surprise win.

    Then Bonnet will be transferred tomorrow and there’s cash in the bank for Contador or Schleck if either is looking good.

    Reason, mostly the same as Dave above – had just 2 transfers. Except one name in there, to free up some quid 😀

    Here’s me. The why for most of them is, ‘because they were in last stage and I only got two transfers’ 😀

    Ryder HESJEDAL
    Tony GALLOPIN
    Arnold JEANNESSON

    Swapped out Gilbert and Feillu. Luz-Ardiden is a very steady climb and I reckon Evans will be able to stay with Contador on that one. Whether he’ll still be in touch after the Tourmalet though…

    Having just got rid of Cav
    Having just got rid of Cav and Koren, mine now looks like this:

    Tejay VAN GARDEREN

    Rigoberto URAN URAN
    Philippe GILBERT
    Thomas VOECKLER
    William BONNET
    Vincent JEROME
    Rein TAARAMAE
    Geraint THOMAS

    Fancy Rojas for a climb tomorrow and Taarame to start to make some movement. No giggling at me either. 😀

    OK here is the team no
    OK here is the team no giggling, so messed up that it doesn’t matter, and for sure nobody will be copying these picks.

    Sandy CASAR
    Mark CAVENDISH
    Rigoberto URAN URAN
    Philippe GILBERT
    Thomas VOECKLER
    Dmitriy FOFONOV
    Tony GALLOPIN
    Vincent JEROME
    Christophe RIBLON

    The switches were Casar and Riblon. I’ll switch out Cav when I see what the lie of the land is tomorrow.

    But my gut feeling is Moncoutie, A Schleck, Contador, Sammy Sanches. But I would only have been able to manipulate one of them in because of points available.
    The bookies more or less agree with this too. It will be all or none of the GC contenders in the shake up at the end, especially if they all hang back and play cat and mouse, and somebody further back the order will take it, or a Frenchman from the inevitable break away.

    remember NO giggling 😀

    Ok, here’s my team and
    Ok, here’s my team and why

    Alberto CONTADOR (test others legs)
    Jose ROJAS (inter sprint points)
    Bauke MOLLEMA (Gesink is dying out there)
    Johnny HOOGERLAND (Come on, he’s gonna try hold the polka)
    Thomas VOECKLER (In yellow, will make an effort to keep)
    Vincent JEROME (hope he keeps last place)
    Rein TAARAMAE (New white jersey)
    Paolo TIRALONGO (One of the better astana riders left)
    Xabier ZANDIO ECHAIDE (Spanish and will go in the break)

    I wanted to put Gautier in, but 2 riders already, Looked at Moncoutie, but dont think he’s got it in him and Sanchez might give it a good, but Contador will stick to him. Another 2 tips are LL Sanchez and Arroyo if he’s feeling better 😀

    Yes its Bastille day, but remember alot of the fans at the top of the hill will be Spanish, so i think you will see a few Spanish riders up there with one big meat eater giving the others a leg test

    Well i hope anyways, i’ve taken a risk, taken Evans out and put Contador in :O

    As usual I haven’t got a clue. All my points are in Cav and Gilbert. maybe HTC will play a different game and send somebody up the road to take points, Van Garderen for example. Then there is a great possy of french riders who took it easy today, Bastille Day tomorrow. 😕

    One would think that Martin
    One would think that Martin and Velits are not going to bust a gut towing Cav up to a bonus sprint in such a big stage! So presumably he’ll be down a few members to help in that respect. Actually I think Gilbert will take it but of course he’s not a “sprinter” 😉
