    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?

    Morkov takes the Cat1 for five fantasy points and a further 5 as he’s guaranteed leader of the KOM tonight.Roux appears to be riding one handed after yesterday’s ‘chute’.

    Morkov, Kern and Roux out in
    Morkov, Kern and Roux out in front, had a gap of 8 minutes but reduced to 6’50 now.

    Lotto, Argos-Shimano and GreenEdge on the front (as widely expected) reducing the gap.

    From some of the quotes it sounds like Farrar will be one of the sprinters train hopping at the end of the stage. This could get very messy…

    5th on yesterday’s stage and
    5th on yesterday’s stage and now 11th on the TDF(4th premium).

    Looking to consolidate with 2 pinch hitters just for today and more than likely reverse back tomorrow.

    Cav(for Cancellara)
    Greipel(for Boassen Hagen)
    Sagan
    Freire
    Urtasun
    Impey
    Boeckmans
    Cooke
    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).

    I have the kind of DS
    I have the kind of DS (Boeckmans, Engoulvent, Gallopin) that could conceivably pick up points for 10th-20th so hoping a couple of them come through, but tbh I’m not expecting much today. Hopes are with Sagan and maybe van Hummel, and some GC/jersey points for Chavanel and Cancellara.

    I’ve gone with Greipel and Sagan plus got Gallopin and Hunter(hoping he doesn’t break his frame again!!!) :O
    Would be nice if just 1 of DS’S could pick up some points for me…….. 😕

    Kittel has a train but I don’t see them being as dominant in the runup to the finish as GreenEdge or Lotto, Hutarovich is another with full team behind him who could do well. Don’t forget Rojas either, he’s always there or thereabouts.

    As long as it comes to a sprint finish I’m happy, my Halfords team is stacked for the sprint today seeing as it’s my bonus stage. For this game though I’d prefer a Kittel win with Sagan second and maybe Arashiro making some waves and getting top 10.

    I think Kittel might win it today. Dedicated train and a cool customer who has proven he can beat anyone on a good day. Greipel seems to choke sometimes on important races. I went for Goss/Sagan/Dumoulin with tomorrow’s stage in mind.

    I completely agree – Lotto and Greenedge on the front and Greipel for the win, although I don’t have him either! Kittel might sneak in there too?

    londonplayer, I agree, Cav to expensive, plus I think Greipel may be stronger and have a team dedicated train to get him home, be a tight finish today though!

    Its a tricky one today – I have Cancellara and Chavanel, and so don’t really want to get rid of them until at least Weds, but it means I’ve only really got Sagan with any hope of big points today, whereas some people will have 3-4 star sprinters in. Oh well, hopefully there’s some kind of freak result that keeps us in touch!

    Saved 2 transfers from earlier so put in Cav for EBH and Samuel Dumoulin in for Gerrans and stil got 2 to roll over. Might score big or fail miserably if a break gets away.
