    Well having been in a good position the last two days i wasn’t sure exactly what to do today…so ive taken a few slight risks

    Boom in for Rojas (could be leading tonight, not a long ITT)
    Kittel (sprint points still for him i imagine)
    Haussler (same as above)
    Boonen (can ITT well enough to keep high up?)

    Nizzolo (Sprint points and has done decent TT in the ast over slightly shorter distances so could do well as seems on form)
    Terpstra (Again could be leading to tonight and could do well tomorrow)
    Dowsett in for Demare (only 25 seconds down on the lead so could be in the top 10 tonight and should ITT well too)
    Larsson in for Guarieri (about 37 seconds off the lead so same applies as above and could also win the stage)
    Moris in for Kristoff (My risk, close to the top 10 overall at the moment and has done ITT’s in the top 10 over this kind of distance in the past)

    the question will be which 2 stars to axe tomorrow and will depend on the results of today on whether boonen needs to be axed due to credits or whether he stays high up and could win tomorrow.

    If i axe boonen then i could bring contador in tomorrow 😕

    Ahhh right i see, your team
    Ahhh right i see, your team will destroy mine today, just hoping mine will still score solidly, however, i scored 92 points more than your score on the last two stages alone…..at least im having a decent run for once!

    You have a good chance of the stage win today so good luck

    I’ve been having a bit of a
    I’ve been having a bit of a nightmare since predicting BMC,Garmin,Rabo and Vacansoleil for big things in the TTT and setting my team up accordingly and have just kind of fiddled it to this.

    Really poor stage scores up to now:

    1)45pts
    2)41pts
    3)37pts
    4)90pts
    5)50pts

    Current glitches mean it’s impossible to see Eneco position but I’d guess its l-o-o-o-w X(

    This is the stag3e I’ve been
    This is the stag3e I’ve been looking forward to

    Boom(in for Keukelaire)I think he’ll be high up in GC and a top 5 for the stage

    Millar(in for Haussler)

    Contador(in for Kittel)high finish today and tomorrow and a rise up the GC rankings

    Chavanel My idea of the tour winner if he beats Boom today

    Durbridge May well be Phinney’s closest rival…..is he really the last man to beat Wiggo on the clock…..what about Cancellara in the Tour Prologue?

    Kwiatkowski Good TTer and high enough up the GC to also be a contender for the overall

    Kristoff in for the long haul now

    Dowsett Has stated he’s looking for a good TT and a high GC after nicking bonus seconds a few days ago

    Phinney(in for Nizzolo)Stage winner perhaps…certainly top 5?

    wow how youve managed to get
    wow how youve managed to get that team i dont know, but it seems a good one! (i missed the fact durbridge was racing…D’oh!)

    As for you Wiggo question, the not beating Wiggo against the clock purely refers to TT’s which doesnt include prologues (larsson also beat Wiggo in the dauphine prologue (i think it was dauphine, i just remember it was wet for wiggins ride))
