    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 😀

    He’s so far ahead now that unless he doesn’t contest any of the remaining sprint finishes he’s unlikely to be caught. He’s 97 points up on Griepel, that’s pretty much three uncontested sprint finishes which Griepel would have to win just to catch him.

    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

    Yeah Dr, Wiki is confusing
    Yeah Dr, Wiki is confusing with him, but I guess its because of team name change…..I’ve always been tempted to become an “editer” on Wiki and sort out some of their cycling stuff

    Current team Lotto-Belisol

    2011– Omega Pharma-Lotto

    I don’t see many getting away because Sagan will want points at inter sprint

    Bah!
    I couldn’t remember
    Bah!

    I couldn’t remember which team Gripel was riding for, had a blank moment, and plumped for Omega-Pharma Quickstep (Wiki still says he’s a member of OPL) rather than Lotto 🙁

    Yes, Lotto might shut it down for Gripel and the fact that Grabsch is in the break will make no difference to them…

    Yeah, very good break for a
    Yeah, very good break for a flat stage, they should have enough nous to draw this out right to the line too unless OPQ shut it down early.

    …actually, with Grabsch in there I assume he won’t be doing much work so I don’t give this break much hope.

    Annoyed with Van Hummel, but I’ve now officially given up on a decent placing, I was doing well and making up ground until yesterday when I threw it all away X(

    Time to plan for the Vuelta… 😕

    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

    Millar

    Arashiro
    Grabsch
    Rui Costa(!?)

    Odd mix but seems more likely than Frank Schleck on the attack on a flat stage…

    After many failures, I’ve put a lot more effort into todays team;

    Sagan – should get some good finish line/int. sprint/green jersey points.
    Greipel – same as above + it’s his birthday. <:P
    Cavendish – was going to keep Goss, but he’s stopped contesting int. sprints and I think Cav will get more points at the finish.
    Dumoulin – was planning to bring in Van Hummel, but he had abdominal pains yesterday.
    Arashiro – could finish top 20 today
    Simon – same as above
    Huguet – said something about being in the break today
    Cantwell – same as above
    Ladagnous – same as above

    Now watch it all fall apart. B-)
