    Greenedge boss says Goss is aiming for stage win today! Last 700m at 7% – is he telling the truth or bluffing and hoping Albasini will slip under the radar? I was planning on bringing Goss in for Chavanel tomorrow – do I stick to my guns or make the change a day early? 😕

    starting to think Morkov for Astarloza was a good move, not sure how Horner is going to fare this tour though.

    Break already up to 2
    Break already up to 2 minutes. That’s your break for the day guys, 100% certain it’ll be brought back together before the end though as Grivko is only 38 seconds down on Cancellara.

    Looks like Morkov’s another good pick, he should be worth a good 30 points at least assuming noone competes for the KoM points.

    There are five men with a lead of 15″. They began their attack at the 5km mark. The riders involved in the first successful escape are:

    – Bernaudeau (EUC)

    – Perez Moreno (EUS), who instigated the move.

    – Minard (ALM)

    – Morkov (STB)

    – Grivko (AST)

    Drat, once again I thought about transfering in Morkov but didn’t.

    Hoogerland is only 1 min down
    Hoogerland is only 1 min down on GC and given the climbs are all grouped at the end of the stage you could argue that the peloton (BMC for Gilbert, Liquigas for Sagan and Radioshack for the yellow) won’t want to give a break too much time so that they can stay away and win the stage/make up time on the leaders.

    Remember, cat 4s only award 1 KoM point, I reckon Hoogerland will wait till Sunday if he really wants the jersey when it’s all Cat 1 and Cat 2 climbs.

    I reckon a nothing break brought back on the final climb, Chavanel to have a dig but be brought back then a similar finish to Sunday.

    Hoogerland’s problem vis a
    Hoogerland’s problem vis a vis compensation is his interview after the incident last year.

    I do agree with you that he could be a major figure today but on such an unpredictable stage and sitting 3rd in the TDF I played safe.

    Chavanel is probably too close to Maillot Jaune to be allowed a jump but how about Voeckler or even Shrek?

    Would be surprised if Goss makes it to the line. Johnnie Hoogerland for the Polka dots today? The profile suits his skills and indomitable need to attack. Did you know he attacks because he doesn’t like being locked up in the peloton? He’s been having panic attacks ever since last years horrific crash (for which he and Flecja still haven’t seen any compensation…insurance companies look at each other…no riders’ union to sort things out)

    I reckon Goss can make it to the end if he’s in form, the climbs today are not so bad, but I don’t see him winning. Sagan for the win, Cancellara top 20 and Chavanel to have a dig on the last climb in the hope of solo-ing to the line.

    I have brought Goss in today though as I’m struggling and wanted to start bringing in sprinters a day early just to try and have some semblance of a decent team tomorrow.
