    Cheers! I’m offshore, the internet is too slow for live streaming (or even watching highlights on Youtube!). Sounds like an awesome stage and an awesome race I’m missing 🙁

    Frank seems ok, Andy is off
    Frank seems ok, Andy is off up the road and no1 is bothering with him, i think they may have all missed the boat

    Unless they think Andy is going up the road as a marker for Frank?

    That’s VERY early for a GC attack from Andy! He does know there’s another climb right???

    Weather up on the tops is
    Weather up on the tops is rank – cold and wet (but no snow forecast!) so my money is on the chubbier older dogs of the peloton rather than the stripped down neophytes. A day to choose classics riders who can climb (really really well!)…. trouble is, only two swapsies….. hmmm :/
    I’m gambling on putting Rojas (cheap) back in for some intermediate sprint action before it all goes skywards. How about a renaissance for Luis Leon Sanchez, – I’m hoping his lurking down in the autobus these last few days was to conserve energy and run some GC time away….. 😕 but he might just be knackered ?

    Best of luck to you all !

    I had the same gamble, but HTC didn’t let Gilbert go in a break, so it was a really bad choice.

    oooop, I forgot to swap back yesterdays gamble, P Gilbert for Schleck, so I am hoping PG gets in a break. . . it was a bigger gamble than I intended, and a flop so far

    Well Roy and my other
    Well Roy and my other transfer Izagirre (the guy no-one seemed to know before the other day)

    They both came home in the train, only because a bus cant fit half the field. ALOT of riders took it easy yesterday, so there could be quite alot of people trying to make a break and i wouldn’t past Jelly or Uran to try and go with them

    One interesting thing and i dont know if its ever been done or if the UCI would have a hissy fit about it, to me, when it rains and they all put on their water proofs alot of the riders look the same, has anyone tried to cover their bike number and get away in a break?

    So take Uran 7.36 down, drop back to the car, stick some EBH yellow shows, “accidentally” a bit of plastic gets “caught” on the bike number, then keep your head down, take off out the front like your EBH, get a decent gap and then reveal yourself robin hood style. Or is it just late and i’m dreaming again?

    Tommy V remains in my squad.
    Tommy V remains in my squad. Whatever else, the boy’s got a lot of heart. And i hear the roads tomorrow are fairly wide. And he only seems to lose time when the finish is downnhill 🙂

    Sabatini’s in, too. he picked himself really.

    and here’s hoping jeremy roy still has his eyes on those polka dots, eh

    Got Sabatini in – didn’t have
    Got Sabatini in – didn’t have much of an option as I needed to release funds tied up with Thor.

    The other transfer was Frank in for Luis Leon.

    Now that I’ve got both Sabatini & Amador, hope at least one of them stays as LR end of tomorrow 🙂
