    Hurray! Mountains!

    This is where the tour gets exciting, the first HC climb of the race, the Col du Grand Colombier, awaits the riders today (fewer than finished the TT). I can’t wait! Today and tomorrow should go some way to answering some of the many questions such as how will Sky handle the consistent attacks that are bound to come from those 4-5 minutes down. Who will end up working together to beat Sky and in the end can Wiggins/Froome be put under enough pressure to crack?

    I’ve made my transfers but a heads up for those who haven’t Di Gregorio is in jail and Matt Lloyd bumped his elbow so neither will feature.

    What’s your tactics? Are there enough KoM points to tempt you to chase breaks or is it all about the GC contenders? Does anyone not have Wiggins, Evans, Froome and Zubeldia in their team?

    Good God. He’s only 22 (I think). He hasn’t built up the endurance yet, plus he has 2 jobs; win the green, almost done, help Nibali, I think we’ll see more of this although I doubt if it’ll help much. Sky still looking strong, no panic when Nibali attacked, sign of winners. Wiggins is going to do it.

    Sarcasm…

    No yellow helmets on RSNT?? I thought every team had to bring along a yellow helmet for each rider just incase they should be leading the team standings 😕 :?

    I think the helmets are optional, but numbers aren’t.

    Decent day made better by Izagirre finishing last, what’s happened there? He seemed to be in great form until today.

    Thinking of picking up a couple of new stars for the stage tomorrow but not sure who, Peraud looks so-so at the minute but Rolland looks ok, Van den Broeck will attack again but I can’t decide whether to play it safe or not. None of my risks have paid off so far so no idea what to do X(

    Don’t worry, You’ll get your points back on me with having Evan’s. But if LL keeps on going in break’s, which he might be try or Canc tries one of his super human effort’s. I might keep with you 😉

    I think he was in a crash along with half the field that day when all the Rabo guy’s went down and he was over 30 mins down at one point.

    He got me points for a break on stage 7. But missed out on the prologue and the TT, where i’d banked on some points from him, with him being the Spanish TT champ i thought he’d be going alot better than he is….As with the rest of the Rabo team, disappointed this tour.

    ah, my mistake.

    Didn’t LL Sanchez get injured earlier on in the Tour, you had him in your Purist team and you thought he might withdraw?

    Nope, I don’t like or rate him and as much as its a shame he got injured. I always had LL Sanchez
