    Big day today, will Cancellara win? how’s Tony Martin doing? will Froome go all out or settle for his domestique roll? Lots of questions today and it should be as interesting.

    My team, made four transfers (40 penalty points):

    Wiggins
    Evans
    Froome
    Gusev
    Zabriskie
    Jeandesboz
    Levarlet
    Boeckmans
    Izagirre

    Unless I have a good day today I’ll be calling it a day on my title challenge (a’la Gesink) and shooting for a stage win.

    Oh, and the transfer window has closed and the stage has just started. Good luck everyone.

    Excellent, I have neither but I reckon more people will have Westra than Martin so the more people quicker than Westra the better 👿

    Zabriskie,Grabsch and Grivko
    Zabriskie,Grabsch and Grivko from the DS’ perhaps…..Kessiakoff,Taaramae,Rogers from the stars but probably not good enough to top 4 if Martin’s on form.

    Larsson,LuLuSanchez,Westra look to be the early 1/2/3.

    Everyone seems to be talking
    Everyone seems to be talking up Cancellara and Wiggins as top two, then Evans and Martin as 3 & 4 in any order. Does anyone think there are any other riders capable of breaking into the top 4? Froome, Millar, anyone?

    Also probably more importantly, how will Nibali, Van den Broeck and Menchov do in relation to Wiggins/Evans?

    Almost as mean as the BBC
    Almost as mean as the BBC ‘gloating’ over Sammy Sanchez’ injuries and the so-called ‘boost’ to Cav’s Olympic chances. 👿

    Personally,if Sanchez was even a contender then Cav has no chance…..as it is it made no difference to the Olymic Road Race favourites(Greipel/Cav/Gerrans/Goss/Gilbert/Sagan).And if France get their track sprinter Bourgain over the undulations then I think he’ll blow Cav away!!

    I went for these, not ideal
    I went for these, not ideal but best I could do considering what a mess my team was in yesterday!
    Wiggins
    Cancellara
    Brajkovic
    Peter Velits (bad choice for last 2 days but is an improving TTer)
    Zabriskie
    Grivko
    Jeandesbosz, Bouet, Simon
    Hopefully at least four of the top six can pick up good points, then I’ll recalibrate on the rest day with the four free transfers and have another go…

    I wonder how many picked
    I wonder how many picked Cancellara and Martin, personally I figured Wiggins, Froome and Evans could well outscore them with their guaranteed GC/KoM standings points.
