    Big day ahead, the last day in the mountains and the last chance for Nibali/Van den Broeck to make their move although unless Wiggins has an ‘Evans’ day today I can’t see anyone beating him now.

    Fantasy wise, who’re your guys? Is the Voeckler/Kessiakoff showdown going to continue for the polka dot jersey? Can Chris Sorensen manage to get in the break again? Will Pierre Rolland do anything at all?

    I’ve made the one transfer from yesterday having taken out Gorka Izagirre (hence I cannot possibly win the stage):

    Wiggins
    Froome
    Rolland
    Kessiakoff
    Jeandesboz
    Simon
    Vichot
    Pinot
    Impey in for Izagirre (more for tomorrow than today)

    Some sites list the summit as before the finish and some list it as the finish itself(Peyregudes).

    nope it wont count, as its still classed as a summit finish (most mountain summits were like 1km before the finish in the TdS but didnt count towards the points)

    Anyway should have a solid score today 🙂 i make it 53 points for me so far, split between rolland, kessiakoff, izagirre and casar

    Oh no – Sorensen was in the
    Oh no – Sorensen was in the break but he crashed! Looks like he has a bloody finger. Only 3 mins in it tho – the break should get the next set of HC mountain points but wouldn’t be surprised if its the top GC guys at the front by the end…

    Zubeldia’s going out of the back :O

    As is Sagan,Gilbert,Grabsch and others as EBH paces the peloton up to the escape.Hope EBH doesn’t kill himself as he’s coming in tomorrow along with Sagan(allrounders who can finish and TT are the key for the last 3 stages)

    Tivo(10pts)beats Freddie(8pts)over the top.
    Rolland(6pts),Valverde(4pts),Casar(2pts),EBH(1pt)round it out over the first climb.

    Looks like I was half-right –
    Looks like I was half-right – Cobo is going but is probably working for Valverde…

    Leipheimer, Rolland, Voeckler, Sorensen, Kessiakoff all in there, might not be the definitive break tho, the gap is fairly small…

    Right. I’ve made 2 transfers, as I had 4 available so would only have lost them otherwise. Fancied taking a risk on the break, so I’ve gone for Cobo 😕 – Too far behind on GC to get chased, but he’s obviously riding the tour as prep for the Vuelta, and yesterday for the first time he stayed with the main group so maybe he’s finding his legs. So a good chance of zero, but if I get lucky I doubt many people will have him. And there’s always more chance of a Spaniard attacking in the Pyrenees than the Alps.

    Froome
    Cobo
    Rolland
    Sorensen (my new favourite rider – I really hope he goes again today)
    Grivko (in for Pinot – partly for the TT but he does seem in good form so could be in a break too)
    Jeandesbosz (had him since stage 5 with a grand total of zero points, should’ve gone for Izagirre)
    Stortoni (8th yesterday)
    De Weert (don’t ask…)
    Boeckmans (for Friday/Sunday)

    I considered bringing in Voeckler for Froome but I can’t seem him getting to the end today so didn’t think he’d score quite as highly. Plus, already thinking ahead to Saturday and didn’t want to lose a TT guy only to have to bring him back in.
