    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?

    I had to nip out and missed
    I had to nip out and missed the last 15km. I see LL came in 4th, So my breakers got 57 to if my counting is on the ball.

    So then I have Wiggo’s GC and Sagan’s points. I think my Purist will be around level with my stage hunting 😕

    Voeckler with the win,
    Voeckler with the win, Wiggins, Froome and Evans all finishing top 20 and no major time gaps between the big GC guys.

    Despite having two in the break I only scored 72 today, fairly dissappointed. Voeckler’s worth that all on his own today!

    Yeah – Sagan could be the
    Yeah – Sagan could be the next Sean Kelly! (Bit harsh on Goss there tho – he sat up as soon as he got the sprint and didn’t try to stay out like Sagan did).

    Oop – Tejay is being dropped…

    Could be interesting although I think Sagan has now done his job by helping Nibali build a 1 minute gap on the peloton. I’m impressed though, Goss was caught and spat out of the back of the peloton miles ago, Sagan’s clearly not a bad climber.

    So far, my breaker’s have 35 with LL still in the front 4, but only a 5 and 3 for 3rd Cat, Voeckler will go for it, then he’ll be in the KoM’s jersey I think.

    IF they can stay away up that climb I think they should get to the finish in front, But Sagan and Nibali are motoring on the descent. Sagan can go up hill. But I think the 3rd cat is 7km…. Maybe to much for him?

    Result of Grand Colombier
    The points at the top of the first HC climb were won by:

    1. Voeckler (EUC) 25pts
    2. Scarponi (LAM) 20pts – at 5″
    3. Sanchez (RAB) 16pts
    4. Devenyns (OPQ) 14pts
    5. Voigt (RBT) 12pts – at 1’08”
    6. Casar (FDJ) 10pts
    7. Martinez (EUS) 8pts
    8. Fofonov (AST) 6pt
    9. Grivko (AST) 4pts
    10. Peraud (ALM) 2pts

    I believe fantasy points are 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    That means my two riders in the early breakaway have amassed me a mighty 4 points so far…

    Gesink has been tosh so far this race, he was not a great pick for my purist team and neither was Hoogerland :”(

    My just-for-fun purist team had Sammy Sanchez, Astarloza, Di Gregorio and Kittel. (I’ve stopped scoring it now…) Glad I didn’t go to the hassle of creating that second account!
