    Griepel takes it ahead of Goss and Haedo, sounds like Sagan and Farrar caught in the crash with Hutarovich and Van Hummel but it was inside 3km.

    Break stayed out until last 500m.

    Another fall, sounds like a big one, caused by someone from Garmin. Not sure if it’s inside last 3km but sounds like carnage!

    Also, Baden Cooke riding the last 5km on a flat tire, what a legend.

    My plan is to make 4 transfers after tomorrow, keep the same team for Sat/Sun, and then 4 more transfers for the TT. Tried to bring in the kind of guys I think will try to get in the break on Sunday, as well as a couple of GC guys for balance…

    Sounds like a plan although I’m loath to give up on what could potentially be a huge scoring day on Sunday 🙁 Picking a breakaway rider on Sunday could be worth more than two rides in the top 3! Decisions decisions…

    No reason Morkov won’t try to hang on to it for a few days but agree that with 20/16/12/8/4/2 real life points at the summit finish of stage 7 he could be out of the KOM running afterwards.

    The only reason I’m sure that he’ll still be in the team is that my other DS’ (Impey/Boeckmans/Cantwell and Cooke)have NO chance of doing anything on those days and credits aren’t a problem once the big star sprinters are replaced with guys like Tejay/Poels etc.

    Hurrah!

    1. Ladagnous (FDJ) 15pts
    2. Urtasun (EUS) 14pts

    4. Ghyselinck (COF) 12pts
    5. Cavendish (SKY) 11pts
    6. Goss (OGE) 10pts
    7. Renshaw (RAB) 9pts
    8. Sagan (LIQ) 8pts
    9. Boasson Hagen (SKY) 7pts
    10. Van Hummel (VCD) 6pts
    11. Hutarovich (FDJ) 5pts
    12. Petacchi (LAM) 4pts
    13. Gretsch (ARG) 3pts
    14. Impey (OGE) 2pts
    15. Krivtsov (LAM) 1pt

    A tidy 50 points from that sprint, I still don’t like it though 😉

    Personally I can’t see Morkov doing anything this weekend, he’s on the track with the Danish pursuit squad at the olympics and I think this week was all about getting Saxo some exposure and getting a jersey for a few days, I don’t think he’s got any designs on the jersey long term.

    I can’t decide whether to bring in people like Wiggins and Evans who can climb (but will finish mid pack on Saturday) and TT or to bring in proper climbers/breakaway people. That’s my main dilemma.

    Hmm…

    4 for saturday(Cav/Greipel/Veelers out+1 DS) and there are at least 2 decent climbing/breakaway/TT guys(Sagan out +1 DS) for sunday then 2 big TT DS’ in for sunday.

    Morkov staying put.

    I think the weekend will be all about the white jersey race with Tejay/Poels/Taaramae/Pinot/Kruijswijk likely to be the top 5 in the young guns competition after the TT but in what order?

    What’s everyone plan for the weekend? Save transfers and have 4 for Saturday is obvious, but on Sunday anything could happen and Monday’s a TT!

    My plan at the minute is 4 on Saturday, try for two breakaway guys on Sunday and bring in two TT specialists for Monday but I’m wavering.

    Thoughts?

    There are
    yeah kittels out.

    There are four men already out of the Tour of 2012. Three have broken bones (collabone for Rojas, tibia for Sivtsov, hip for Tjallingii) and one has suffered stomach ailments since the start (Kittel).

    Put Morkov in for Urtasun but not too bothered as Morkov is guaranteed to lead KOM competition at the end of today and tomorrow and I feel he’ll rest up and challenge for more climbs on stages 7-8.

    The Veelers for Freire swap was based on Oscar seemingly intent on crashing or causing one and Veelers being Argos’ DeFacto sprinter with Kittel struggling(knee problems on top of stomach bug).Kittel even backs Veelers for a win today!!

    In fact Kittel’s just abandoned!! :&
