    So will Phinney or Cavendish start . . . and will they finish with the rest of their team, or spin along at the back. I reckon Cav will lead the team for the first half and then sit up with Hunt and Flecha to keep company . . . and BMC will do zero without TPs power,

    2 garmin, 1 each BMC, SKY,
    2 garmin, 1 each BMC, SKY, RSN, GRE, SAX, COG & FAR

    Note COG finished 3rd in Giro del Trentino TTT, though I did really select the rider for stages 6 & 7, 1 or 2 points is all I expect today if lucky.

    And the FAR rider, will score today and tomorrow as KOM leader, FAR will finish way down today.

    There have been 3 TTT this year, Astana are 3 top 5 finishes out of 3. Garmin 1st & 3rd in 2 races. Sky 3rd & 4th. Everybody else has had a bad ride BMC & Green Edge in Qatar, Liquigas & Lampre in Giro del Trentino & Tirreno-Adriatico (also BMC 17th there)

    Gone for 2 Sky, 2 Garmin and 2 Greenedge. Using Qatar as research Garmin should clean up with sky close second. Although Cav never lost a team time trial!! Kept sprinters for tomorrow with an eye on Friday’s first hilly/strade bianche type stage!

    Rasmussen or Thomas for pink
    Rasmussen or Thomas for pink – cant see Phinney being 100% and will get dropped.

    I’m hoping to have the top 5
    I’m hoping to have the top 5 in the GC tonight depending on Phinney’s ability to stick with his team. Rasmussen has a shout of Pink but there are a few others with a good chance too. I’m hoping that by keeping the majority of my sprinters in my team I’ll be able to use today as a platform to regain some of the points I lost in the last two stages.

    What are victory margins
    What are victory margins usually like in TTTs? If Garmin win it by 30 secs, they’ll end the day with the top 6 overall!

    I’m the same as you TER – 2 Greenedge and 1 from 7 other teams. Have next few transfers planned, starting to bring in guys for stages 6, 7, 8…

    Garmin, Sky and Rabobank for me. Got 2 riders from each so hopefully good score today. Not Liquigas as Sagan and Nibali in USA and i think they are the two strongest tt’ers for them.

    Keeping Phinney, but to feck
    Keeping Phinney, but to feck if i know what else i’m doing, just trying to decide right now.

    Gonna keep Cav and Thomas. It doesn’t matter where they finish, the points are awarded on a team basis. So even if Cav comes home 5 minutes down on the team, he’ll still score what Sky score.

    I think Garmin, BMC and Movistar will be your top 3, with Sky Greenedge and Lampre pushing them hard. Now just how to fit that all into me team? 👿

    Still got Phinney on my team
    Still got Phinney on my team but betting on Greenedge, Garmin, and Liquigas to go 1, 2, 3. Phinney will finish with them and Cav may not finish at all.
