    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?

    Missing out on making my transfers means I’m stuffed if it comes down to a sprint. Demare is my only sprinter but he’s exhausted so Soupe will probably be FDJ’s man today. I was going to bring in Cav, so expect him to win today. 🙁

    Was considering Hunter, but the commentator said that he’d been feeling really ill on Monday, so I’m not sure if he’s fully recovered.

    At this point in the race anyone with any idea what they’re doing will have pretty much the same team, I can’t see many top teams not having J-Rod & Hesjedal unless they’ve dropped them for Cav and Goss today. That’s what makes it so hard to catch the leaders, I’m 165 points down but there’s no way now for me to catch the top teams unless I completely luck out and pick breakaway stage winners for the next 10 days in a row!

    I didn’t know about Hunter’s illness which is annoying but he was a shot in the dark anyway and Bos has been so crap this last tour that I can’t see him getting the nod over Renshaw for today.

    These flat-mountain-flat stage changes are really making it hard to really overhaul my team and get it right for any one particular day. I guess it’s all about guaranteed points on both types of stage and making the best use of the two transfers each day.

    Really looking forward to the next 10 stages though, this is where the game gets fun for me, in the high mountains.

    I had the choice between Cav
    I had the choice between Cav and Hunter/Bos or Goss and Visconti/Modolo. Went for Cav and Hunter purely because at 10 credits I can leave Hunter in for a couple of days while I move my riders around.

    Expecting a Cav win today, SKY know the area, the Brits all lived/trained there for years as part of the academy so it’s a no-brainer that they’ll go after this one, just hoping that I don’t lose out on too many points by not aving Goss/Kristoff or Soupe.

    FYI, my girlfriend who knows nothing about cycling (but who’s picked two winners already this week) thought I should go for Soupe because she likes his name. If you haven’t already used you transfers you should get him 😀
