    Sprinters today or will the Cat3 Montjuic make it messy?

    I’m thinking tough fast guys rather than the out and out flyers

    Boom(for J-Rod)
    Davis(for Froome)
    Valverde
    Degenkolb
    Meersman(for Quintana)
    Marczynski
    DeLafuente
    Cesar
    Florencio

    Quite risky to take out nailed on GC/Points/Mountains guys but I think Boom may have been waiting for this sort of stage and can also TT well(stage 11) and I’ve had Meersman in mind for a tough uphill drag finish for a while.

    It was a toss up between Davis and Rojas and I plumped for Davis as he’ll have more freedom and has decent form.

    I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Valverde attempt to nick a few seconds either in real time or bonuses over his GC rivals as he sprints better than Froome,Contador or J-Rod especially with a rest-day after this.

    Meersman for
    Meersman for Quintana(success)
    Davis for Froome(fail….lost Froomes’ GC/Comp pts)
    J-Rod for Boom(epic fail….that’s what you get for thinking too far ahead,plus J-Rod done what I expected Valverde to do)

    Marczynski rescued a disaster into mediocrity 🙁

    Could be but doubt it, depends whether anyone was brave/stupid enough to bring in gilbert or tiralongo. On previous form so far you would have to have been a nutter to, or be a genius!

    Talansky
    Kreder
    Meersman (for Quintana)

    Are we doing the similar team/transfers for both tours now? 😉

    Same as you except I have Marczynski rather than cardoso and anacona rather than kreder

    seems we have got one over most by bringing in Bennati 🙂
