    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 😀

    I know the scoring system
    I know the scoring system changes year-by-year, but still…
    Sagan now has 340 points, so if and when he finishes top 10 today, he will have the most points since Sean Kelly’s 434 in 1985! If he can beat that by Paris he’ll have the highest points total in over 50 years!

    Giovanni Bernaudeau & Kenny van Hummel quit
    There are two more retirements in stage 15: they are Giovanni Bernaudeau (EUC) and Kenny van Hummel (VCD). There are now 157 left in the race.

    Merde.

    21 at the intermediate sprint
    21 at the intermediate sprint and I’m hoping DuMoulin can get a win here as less people will have him than Sagan or Greipel……although the sportsman in me would like to see a Cav win after Sky’s show of honour yesterday.

    Fantasy points for the
    Fantasy points for the intermediate were:

    1. Sorensen (STB) 15pts
    2. Voeckler (EUC) 14pts
    3. Devenyns (OPQ) 13pts
    4. Dumoulin (COF) 12pts
    5. Fedrigo (FDJ) 11pts
    6. Vande Velde (GRS) 10pts
    7. Sagan (LIQ) 9pts
    8. Koren (LIQ) 8pts
    9. Bak (LTB) 7pts
    10. De Greef (LTB) 6pts
    11. Eisel (SKY) 5pts
    12. Froome (SKY) 4pts
    13. Knees (SKY) 3pts
    14. Boasson Hagen (SKY) 2pts
    15. Cavendish (SKY) 1pt

    Looks like Griepel, Goss and Cavendish have given up on the sprints and the Green jersey.

    and Brett Lancaster has abandoned.

    Quote:First six over

    First six over intermediate sprint line
    The 20 points for first place at Maugbouguet (101.5km) were won by Nicki Sorensen. With six over the line, the first places went to:

    1. Sorensen (STB) 20pts
    2. Voeckler (EUC) 17pts
    3. Devenyns (OPQ) 15pts
    4. Dumoulin (COF) 13pts
    5. Fedrigo (FDJ) 11pts
    6. Vande Velde (GRS) 10pts

    Just after these points were taken, the peloton arrived at the ‘5km until the sprint’ sign.

    Bah, I had Dumoulin in the
    Bah, I had Dumoulin in the break on Sat and decided he wouldn’t go again, never mind. He was only 6th in the intermediate when I had him, so watch him take the 15 points today…

    Thought I might get lucky with Stortoni trying to get across the gap just now, but he just missed it. Lampre have done virtually nothing the whole tour, so surely someone (Scarponi again?) will go for it on Weds…

    I had quite a good plan in week one and got to top 50 overall after stage 6, but I’ve messed things up in week 2 and am left with a team that I look at thinking “how the hell have I ended up with that?” 🙂 still – hopefully three in the top 5 at the finish today and then I think I’ll have 5 transfers for Weds if I want them…

    Greipel
    Goss
    Sagan
    Valls for Weds
    Jeandesbosz
    Stortoni
    Pinot
    De Weert
    Boeckmans

    Might have known Rui Costa would be in the break :& Still confident that Greipel will outpoint him today though!!

    3 decent TT’ers in this break though with Grabsch,Millar and Grivko

    Swings and roundabouts again

    Voeckler AND the man I bought in for him(Dumoulin) in the new break….one that looks like the break of the day.

    I’d imagine Dumoulin would be favourite for the intermediate B-)

    So the selection has been made. The peloton has eased off the accelerator and the escape group has formed. It’s composed of five at the front and one in a counter-attack. The lead group is: Voeckler (EUC), Vande Velde (GRS), Fedrigo (EUC), Devenyns (OPQ) and Dumoulin (COF).

    The counter-attacker is Nicki Sorensen (STB).

    I’m sure Fedrigo is riding for FDJ 😕

    Sagan’s the type of rider thats hunger for anything. He’ll want as much as possible, He didn’t have to do all that climbing yesterday, But he did to chase down the guys and get back to the front. He’s a monster and can do everything. In a few years, If he works a little on him climbing, He’ll be a GC guy that can take every jersey :B

    Either that or he’ll be serving some form of ban 👿

    I’m kidding, but he’s exactly the kind of rider who explodes onto the scene and who can do so much to such a high standard that you do begin to question their performances.

    Yeah, I guess as Lotto
    Yeah, I guess as Lotto Belisol is now using the old OP-Lotto license he’s in the same team and OP-Quickstep are racing on the old Quickstep license.
