    So kind of lumpy day today, but plenty of miles to bring it back for another Episode of the Sagan Show?
    Can he climb………. will any of the favorites attack or stick together and save themselves for the ITT?

    ToC has been atrocious for me
    ToC has been atrocious for me so far, so not much hope here. I subbed in two guys who I don’t understand why they were on my team 🙂 I still haven’t figured on Haussler, so he’s guaranteed to finish top 3 again…

    Only two subs for the ITT, but I don’t think I’ll need more than that… given, it’s all a loss anyway at this point.

    Horner
    Sagan
    Nibali
    Hincapie

    Durbridge
    Talansky
    Howes
    Bookwalter
    Howard

    I have the same tactics with my transfers – 4 lined up for tomorrow when I get rid of Sagan, Haussler, Van Avarmaet and Howard, keeping Sutherland, Meyer, Machado, Talansky and Bardet. Then minimal fiddling and hopefully 4 left for Sunday. Now just have to decide who to bring in…

    Well my team currently sits
    Well my team currently sits like this
    (and my ToC is already ruined)

    Sagan
    Haussler
    LL Sanchez
    Van Garderen

    Talansky
    Meyer
    Bouet
    Howard
    Atapuma

    So not making any transfers for this stage

    4 then for the ITT, where I will axe Sagan, Haussler, Sanchez and Howard. With those transfers setting me up nicely for 6 and 7, maybe a transfer or 2 before 6 to change out one of my TT guys and Bouet. Then no transfers between 6 and 7, so I can then make 4 transfers ready for the sprint

    Sounds so straight forward, but the fact I didnt quite get my team right from stage 1 has left me behind the game. All about not loosing ground in the overall at the moment. Similar in my messed up Giro team, but at least I still have a bit of time with that one

    Made one transfer per stage
    Made one transfer per stage the last couple of days, already fairly well set for the rest of the week (have Horner, LL Sanchez and Talansky) so might not use all of my 4 transfers tomorrow.

    Lots of KOM points on offer
    Lots of KOM points on offer for whoever’s in the break, but with the last KOM still 70km from the finish, its tough to see past Sagan again right?

    As I’m sure most people have done, I’ve saved 4 transfers for tomorrow, so its all about choosing the right TT and climbing guys…

    I know the stages have been fairly similar so far, but I’ve really enjoyed watching it, a fascinating change to the European races.
