    Starting this one early. Well desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve taken a big penalty hit and redesigned my team around breakaway specialists from teams with no stage wins, and 2 high ranking non GC jersey holders. Get this right I score ok with 2 HC etc and downhill finish. Get it wrong and I go down down down.

    Wiggins
    Froome
    Rolland
    Kessia
    Wiggins
    Froome
    Rolland

    Jeandesboz
    Simon
    Pinot
    Vichot
    Iazgirre

    Pinot’s not much a secret at this point but I can see him attacking over the next two days, he’s too far down on Wiggins to be a threat but needs 2 or 3 minutes on TJvG to have a chance at the white jersey. TJvG “shouldn’t” be able to follow him if he’s still nursing Evans up the climbs so Pinot should have a go.

    Hoping Rolland wants the polka dot (I can’t see why he wouldn’t) or maybe another summit win on Thursday. Either way I need him and Kessiakoff to battle it out if I want some points. Tempted to bring in Scarponi though for Thursday as Lampre have been poor and Thursday would be their last chance at a stage win.

    Plan is simple, I’ve saved one transfer, I’ll make one more tomorrow then two for Friday (flat), three for Saturday (TT) and my last three for Sunday (Paris).

    Yes dr after what you said
    Yes dr after what you said last time I waited for the rest day drug news before making my transfers!

    My DS are no secret, they’ve been the same for 3 days. De Weert, Stortoni, Jeandesbosz, Pinot and Boeckmans.
    I’ve gone fairly risky on the stars, going for a chance of breakaway points – Rolland, Valls and Sorensen – leaves me with room for one star to keep for the TT which is Froome.

    Copy me if you like – my record in mountain stages is not good!

    I’m fairly lucky in that the guys I’ve picked as my breakaway people for the past 10 stages haven’t done anything… so surely they need to try and get in a break today or tomorrow?!

    Either way, I’ve had nothing but red arrows over the weekend and my shot at a decent placing has all but evaporated so I’ve also gone more towards breakaway points than solid GC/finish points. Hoping it pays off but if the last two weeks are anything to go by it won’t šŸ™

    At least I didn’t bring in Schleck as a rest day transfers! šŸ˜€
