    Morning all, big day today with the real possibility of a shake up in the fantasy standings.

    Guaranteed breakaway with the possibility of a breakaway win, I predict a big group of 12+ going away and most of them staying away to the end with a 3-5 minute lead.

    I’m utterly hopeless at picking breakaway guys and my usual pick, De Gendt, is too close in the GC to be allowed to go away so I’ve gone for extra guaranteed points in the form of Rubiano and Golas. I’ve also kept Cavendish and Hunter (another possible break rider) for the flat stage tomorrow.

    My team:

    Rodriguez
    Hesjedal
    Cavendish
    Hunter

    Pozzovivo
    Caruso
    Tiralongo
    Rubiano
    Golas

    So, who’re you hoping will get in the break and how do you think today will play out?

    Thats your stage top 15. I don’t think i’ll be getting any top 20 points, going to have to rely on GC and other jersey points :”(

    Tiralongo and Cunego jump out the front to get some seconds

    Casar might not be in pink at the end of the day after all

    No last KoM points for Golas,
    No last KoM points for Golas, Now to see who can keep their head on the way down. 11.5km to go. 4.13 the gap

    The REAL J-Rod might just keep the pink, but i have a feeling he’d let it slip if he could

    Yup, Golas is cooked, they breeze past him and he’s gone out the back now.

    Then Casar knocks the pace off and Golas gets back in.

    They are all attacking each other over and over. 12.5km to go, gap is 4.30

    Just around where Katusha would like it (if i was their director)

    Maybe Golas will not be getting max KoM today, He’s just about to be caught 3km from the last summit and he looks like he’s struggling

    I think you have more chance of Cav taking last place for 10 points, He’s not going to be in the pack

    Maximum KoM points and solo breakaway win?! This could turn out to be an excellent day 😀

    The only thing that could improve it is Cavedish going after the minor sprint placings!

    I think Katusha would like the break to have around 4.20 when they cross the line, It would take the pink of their shoulders while leaving J-Rod just seconds back from Casar and mean their team doesn’t have to do all the work if J-Rod wants to win the GC overall, He needs to lose the pink at some point to help his team to help him out later in the race 😉

    Can’t see the break winning
    Can’t see the break winning by enough for Casar to take pink, I reckon Kataush and Liquigas will pull it back to around 1 and half minutes by the end, just enough to keep it in check.
