    This is a big chance for the climbers and GC to rest their aching legs and let the sprinters have some fun, mind you Garmin & Hesjedal will need to keep an eye on things but as GT says Sky will probably help out to bring it all back together for a sprint.

    Now who do i put in and who to leave 😕

    I may have a near early season classicesque points failure on my hands

    Only 14th today, not a whole load of GC points either, but i have 4 transfers over the people who brought back in sprinters. So i could make it up 😕

    But I’m pleased that Izaguirre has finally scored me some points and sticking faithfully with him 👿

    That’s 4, 6, 7, 16 and a boat load of GC/Jersey points, solid day today.

    Unless the GC/Jerseys change I’m looking at 99 today.

    Well i went from a possible 1, 2 plus any other sprinters in the mix to getting 6 and 7 plus gc points. A complete disaster but thats cycling for you, one day on top of the world the next sitting on your arse as everyone whizzes past :”(

One thing – chances running out for the sprinters, so this might mean its unlikely they’ll let anyone get away on Weds…

    If they had all stayed up on the corner, You could have had a massive haul today, unlucky 👿

    Either that or Goss will be so injured he’ll drop out and every man and his dog will have Cav in their team making it a complete non-issue really.

    Arguably happier than if Goss
    Arguably happier than if Goss had gone on to win, not because I’ve done particularly well but because those who’re sprinter heavy won’t score as many more points than me as they could have 😀
