    So who’s your main man/men for today?

    I haven’t got a clue who i’m going to put in.

    I could play safe and put a couple of guys who will score from the GC, but i already have Cav, GT and Nava. So i’m not sure.

    I was going to start making my climbers come in, but there are still flat stages to come and the big climbs don’t really hit till stage 14. Most others the punchy sprinters should manage. Not the likes of Cav and Farrar though 😕

    And for those of you with Balloni…

    The group has started up the day’s first climb and four riders have already fallen back: Keukeleire, van Winden, Belletti and Balloni. Not what we would expect from the man wearing the mountain jersey!

    I ended yesterday with a team
    I ended yesterday with a team full of sprinters so got rid of Farrar and Bos for Hesjedal and De Gendt. I still have Goss and Cav if there’s a sprint today, but they’ll definitely be gone tonight for a couple of GC/mountains riders for the forthcoming uphill finishes. SO fingers crossed for De Gendt in the next few days – its a long-shot!

    We have our first abandon of the 2012 Giro: Romain Feillu of Vacansoleil. He was one of those who finished 12 minutes down yesterday.

    And am I right in thinking there’s no points for being in a breakaway in the tour’s? Just the points on offer for intermediate sprints and the mountains?

    Yep – pretty sure thats right. Although on the right stage that could still be a handy 20 points or so for the right rider. Not such a big deal today tho…

    Quote:Five riders in the

    Five riders in the group are within one minute of our leader in pink. The top-ranked rider is Luke Roberts of Saxo Ban, who is currently 41 seconds down in 25th position.

    Which is excellent news for me if this is today’s break, can’t see it ending in anything other than a sprint finish with Garmin and Greenedge working to bring it back together.

    Wow – 16-man break. Lastras also in. And Benedetti, which is annoying, as scribbled on a notepad next to my PC is “Benedetti – breaks??” but I didn’t bring him in… 😕

    Stumps

    The reason i went for J-Rod
    The reason i went for J-Rod today is that he is expensive and i knew i was going to get rid of Cav so rather than pick a lesser rider and then had to fiddle my team about i plumped for J-Rod straight away. Might work out, might not but he is in now. fingers crossed it doesnt backfire.
