    Its a long haul today, are we expecting a sprint? I’ve decided against bringing Cav back in, which makes him a nailed-on certainty for the stage. Visconti’s back yard, and he’s been there or thereabouts for a few days (ie since I transferred him out…) so might he be interested too?

    I’ve said before, I like technical sprints more than long straight drags but I admit, three crashes (two down to the organisers) is too many and when they as a race want to attract the top sprinters they need to sort it out for next year. Cav, Goss and the other top sprinters won’t keep turning up if theres more chance of a broken collarbone than a couple of stage wins as they build up to the TdF.

    No-one was at fault for the crash bar the race organisers. They made the corner to tight, MASSIVE exit (plenty of room to drop you bike and slide) and then into a narrow exit. It was always going to happen.

    I think it was Modolo who went down first, but it was just a case of riders going into a tight bend and their wheels going from underneath them rather than anyone causing a mass pile up

    Goss finished 10 minutes
    Goss finished 10 minutes down, Kristoff and Guardini nowhere either, Schleck managed to lose 46 seconds today. Forget about TTing, that man can’t descend for toffee. There’s a huge descent to finish a stage in the next week, that could break Schleck long before the TT.

    I think, but unsure, he got dropped on the final little climb when Visconti gave it beans and the speed ramped up

    I took Demare out the other day, But i’ve been playing the tactic that the sprints are not worth transferring in guys for as the routes are shocking, another final corner crash because its FAR to narrow
