    Seeing as we’re all still up worrying about the game falling apart I thought I’d ask the big question…

    Who’s going to go for it tomorrow?

    I can’t see any of the big GC contenders, Basso, Schleck, Scarponi, Rodriguez, Hesjedal or Kreuziger even attempting to put more than a few seconds into each other with 3 more summit finishes in the next week. Stage 15 should be more fun as it runs into a rest day.

    I’m thinking, I’ll pick up two of Rujano, Gadret, Hesjedal and Basso and maybe leave Scarponi until later although I could afford Kreuziger and one of the first 4 on my list.

    Something else to throw into the mix, apparently it’ll to be bloody freezing on the summit tomorrow with risk of snow and Rodriguez is known to dislike the cold, Pozzovivo too (as he’s a whippet).

    Thoughts?

    So many climbers, not enough
    So many climbers, not enough transfers. I think I might just play safe tomorrow and go with some ‘obvious’ picks.

    Also, with Rujano and Gadret
    Also, with Rujano and Gadret 3 minutes down needing a lead of maybe 3 minutes on those who can TT will they go big early on or will they wait till next week?

    My high risk/high reward strategy is to pick both and hope for fireworks but I think I might just go for one.

    Ok.
    Poz for the win, got him
    Ok.

    Poz for the win, got him in.
    Scarponi to do well, left him out for a spell.
    Basso to fly, gave him a try.
    J Rod to suffer, left him in as he’s a bluffer.
    Because of Schleck’s shoulder I’ve got someone older.

    RUJANO’S AMAZING, IT’S HIM I’M PRAISING.

    I may well pick Hesjedal and
    I may well pick Hesjedal and Rujano but I’m worried that Hesjdal will just get blown out of the back if they decide to up the pace on the last climb, he didn’t look hugely comfortable in some of the earlier much smaller climbs.
