    So who are your men for today?

    I can’t see a break being let away today as it looks like a bunch sprint day 2 Cat 4’s and a Cat 3 pretty far out from the finish.

    Still 10 minutes before it even kicks off. Eurosport showing it live from the start đŸ˜€

    Next time you choose a Purist team, could you let me know who you pick?

    Your abandon rate seems well above average…. đŸ˜‰ :D

    No really, 3 riders out of 9 from the start, 36 riders so far out of the tour…..could have been worse and I’m still keeping up there as the top premium purist đŸ˜‰ đŸ˜‰

    -20 penalty points.

    Best case scenario is probably a Fedrigo win and a score of around 30 points B-)

    your team is almost the same as mine! except i have boeckmans and impey instead of simon and jeandesboz

    Reminds me of the tour a few
    Reminds me of the tour a few years ago when Armstrong used to just let breaks go and could control the peloton. It’s only really in the HTC years that we’ve gotten so used to teams chasing down breaks in order to have a sprint finish.

    I wonder if this is what we’ll get more of when they scrap race radios?

    The first 50-60km of this
    The first 50-60km of this stage were really fast with loads of attacking. The sprinters teams are just too tired to chase down the break.

    Yeah, very annoying, wish I hadn’t bothered to bring in Griepel/Sagan now although I suspect Sagan at least will sprint for minor placings.

    Very odd with a rest day tomorrow, I assume that Lotto were looking at Liquigas and Greenedge to chase it down and vice versa and by the time they got organised it was too late. Will be interesting to see the highlights.

    Yeah they’ve just let them
    Yeah they’ve just let them go, nobody else interested in taking it up, so the break can go.

    So much for Cav, Goss, Griepel and Sagan having a heads up sprint đŸ˜•

    Break at 8’20” with only 40km
    Break at 8’20” with only 40km to go! What are Lotto playing at? Are they just not bothering to even try and bring it back today?
