    I think the answer to this one is simple. Cav must win or else he may as well go home (I think he would have sewn up the jersey had it not been for Ferrari and that stupidly tight corner)

    So he will go into my team for J-Rod

    The problem is looking to sunday as well as tomorrow and the remaining mountain stages, think im gonna risk just having two sprinters tomorrow to aid me in the last stage

    This is annoying, have Cav in my team and want him to win the red jersey, but from a fantasy point of view i would like mr keizer to stay away to thr finish!

    It was a fantastic effort by Team Sky to bring back the break, those points could be very valuable come Sunday. I hope they’ve got something left for the finale today, though.

    Looks like Cav will get full points at the intermediate sprint. Today, much like yesterday, isn’t going to plan. Hopefully between Rodriguez and one of my sprinters I’ll get more points than Cav but as it stands, I’m not hopeful.

    What were the circumstances of this race? If it’s a race up Alp d’huez most pro cyclists could probably win that 🙂

    Yes, there are numerous explanations: [list]
    [*]Horse was on a bike as well
    [*]Gadret was on a faster horse
    [*]The horse was sleeping
    [*]Gadret was in a car
    [*]The horse only had three legs

    Also, finish seems to be very flat, a 5km long straight road and 7m wide. Sounds like a perfect Cav stage 🙁

    Just thought I’d share thi, straight of Gadret’s Wikipedia page:

    On Stage 15 of the 2010 Tour de France Gadret caused controversy when he refused to give his wheel to his team leader, Nicolas Roche, following a puncture on the final climb of the day and then began attacking the group ahead of Roche.[7]

    He has won a race against a horse.[8]

    Original plan drop Basso for
    Original plan drop Basso for Cav and bring in Scarponi tomorrow, however, Basso & Uran’s performance along with the not so good performances by Intxausti, Tiralongo and others, changed my plans, so with 4 transfers in hand

    Alexander Kristoff in for Paolo Tiralongo
    Andrea Guardini in for Allessandro De Marchi
    Matteo Rabottini in for Andrey Amador
    Roberto Ferrari in for Benat Intxausti

    Giving me

    Joaquin Rodriguez (KAT)
    Ryder Hesjedal (GRM)
    Roberto Ferrari (AND)
    Ivan Basso (LIQ)
    Stefano Pirazzi (COG)
    Matteo Rabottini (FAR)
    Andrea Guardini (FAR)
    Domenico Pozzovivo (COG)
    Alexander Kristoff (KAT)

    Tomorrow Ferrari & Kristoff out, for Uran + ?

    Guardini stays as he is getting reliable at being last man home in the mountains.

    I will take a hit today of 25 compared to the teams around me if Cav wins today. If a small breakaway succeeds no lost and will have the 5 or the 6 best performing big stage climbers for Friday & Saturday + a couple of breakaway guys
