    So tomorrows a tricky one! Could be cold and is lumpy! They are saying someone who is great at descending has an advantage! Anyone any advice? I have the top 5 in the GC, so is it worth keeping them or ship one out and look for a stage winner??

    Androni have been dropped
    Androni have been dropped which means no Sella in the lead group. Rodriguez and Hesjedal have been isolated and have no teammates with them, Basso and Scarponi have a couple each so descent not withstanding this could be a good day for Basso and a bad one for J-Rod.

    Rabottini takes maximum
    Rabottini takes maximum points, Nieve is 30 seconds down on his group and the peloton a further 49 seconds back.

    Liquigas seem have to realised Nieve is only 4 minutes down on GC and are looking to close the gap.

    Bah, this stage is going badly wrong already, this is why I don’t take risks, they always backfire.

    He’s ill apparently.

    Pirazzi’s also been dropped so he won’t be doing anything today.

    It looks like Rabottini is
    It looks like Rabottini is just going to be given the blue jersey without much of a fight so I think I’ll be ditching Golas permanently tonight. Rubiano too doesn’t look interested in the slightest.

    Today I’ve got

    Joaquin Rodriguez (KAT)
    Jose Humberto Rujano (AND)
    Roman Kreuziger (AST)
    Sergio Luis Henao (SKY)
    Stefano Pirazzi (COG)
    Miguel Angel Rubiano (AND)
    Paolo Tiralongo (AST)
    Diego Ulissi (LAM)
    Martijn Keizer (VCD)

    I did

    50 May 22, 16:14 Martijn Keizer Matthias Brandle
    50 May 22, 16:14 Stefano Pirazzi Daniel Schorn

    After Pirazzi’s little “look at me” off the front of the group coming home yesterday, I thought he might have a dig today and hit the break and Keizer has been a little quiet

    I was tempted to bring in Gadret after he said he was going to “dynamite” the race today, but i doubt he’ll be backing it up. 😉

    Annoyingly the only person I wasn’t fussed about getting into the break, Rabottini, is in there. Yeah it’s extra points but it’s points everyone else will get too 🙁
