    An allout sprint is predicted. I’ve put Greipel in for tomorrow. I can’t afford Cav. I would suspect many others are in the same position?

    Greipel(for Boassen Hagen)
    Sagan

    Impey

    Cantwell-dark horse today

    sacrificing 28 GC points on current standings so just 1 of Cav or Andre to go top 3 pays for itself with any advance on that a bonus really(especially with a daily 15 down to 1 for the first fifteen in the intermediary sprint).

    Nicely done.

    Thanks….my 2 transfers in gained 86pts so definitely happy with thatr 🙂

    26th on the stage and 3rd in the tour now so going to stick with the plan and reverse yesterday’s transfers for GC points.
    On an unpredictable stage it’s the safest thing to do although every fibre in my body is screaming Chavanel and Hoogerland I don’t think they’ll let either of them just go off down the road and I reckon there will be minimal time gaps come the finish.

    I got Morkov DS points, but
    I got Morkov DS points, but probably loads of people did.

    Annoying about

    a). Kittel

    Inexperience?

    b). Sagan

    Too much to ask for him to win back to back tour stages.

    c). Cav

    Where on earth did that come from.

    d). Commentary

    My Grandad’s. :”(

    Thats unfortunate, at least
    Thats unfortunate, at least haedo finished 8th for me, but apart from that nothing

    Well ive sorted a strategy to get either goss or greipel in for stage 4, by axing gallopin meaning all my ds’s will be cheap.

    But ive made 1 transfer for tomorrow in taking out kittel and keeping JJ haedo in. so i wont be strong for tomorrow but in theory my stars should be strong for stage 4. as i will have haedo, sagan and then 2 from the rest pretty much.

    Yeah, that couldn’t have gone much worse really. Both transfers scored nothing and I don’t know whether to cut my losses with Kittel now or stick with him. Cancellara is a problem as he’s so bloody expensive! I may axe him and throw my whole budget at sprinters.

    Not only does Kittel get dropped he has the audacity to finish SECOND TO LAST just to rub it in! What a bastard.

    On another note, congrats to Cav and Sky, yet another win.

    Kittel dropped…
    Marcel Kittel was to be the rider who the Argos-Shimano team was going to lead out but the German has been dropped inside the final 12km of the stage.

    Obviously fantasy wise it’s 15 points down to 1, not 20.

    Apparently its a fairly
    Apparently its a fairly straightforward finish – no insane corners like the Giro. Plus with only 3 in the break, there will be decent intermediate sprint points on offer shortly. Looks like teams (like mine) with not many sprinters could be losing a little bit of ground today…
