    Fairly boring stage today until the last few km’s with a short sharp cat 3 to finish. Looks like a day tailor-made for Rodriguez to gain another few seconds on the likes of Froome and Contador. Can anyone beat him, and does anyone not have Rodriguez in their team?

    Mine is:
    Contador
    Rodriguez (in for Martin)
    Froome
    Viviani
    Talansky
    Meersman (in for Castroviejo, more for tomorrow than today)
    Marczynski
    Quintana
    Bouhanni

    God damn. I took Henao out
    God damn. I took Henao out for Ten Dam and Verdugo to fit in the 3 top guys 👿

    At least Astarloza got 1st and 2nd in the two points

    Crap, no Talansky, no
    Crap, no Talansky, no Marczynski, no Quintana, think I’ve only got Contador, Rodriguez and Froome in the top 20! Time for some changes I think, might even chop Froome for the big mountains.

    I’m doubtful that Froome can
    I’m doubtful that Froome can win overall. As much as i’d like him to.

    Sky fecked him up and pissed him about. He was the MOST worked guy in the TdF. He did more than even Wiggo.

    Then Sky say, you can lead our Vuelta team….If he doesn’t win, It was be another year of being a domestic to Wiggo X(

    Aye, while I want Froome to win as a Brit I’m also happy that Sky aren’t having things all their own way. I like the team but I don’t want to see one team become dominant, it’s much more exciting if there are riders and teams around who can put Sky under pressure and rattle them a bit.

    I tried to convince myself to pick Dani Moreno instead of Valverde, but it was never going to happen.

    As everyone knows. I always have one of their riders. Sometimes on this tour i’d had 2. But after switching with Verdugo, Landa and Astarloza. I finally have him in the break 😀

    That’s assuming the break gets caught…

    The break is Astarloza,
    The break is Astarloza, Moinard, Cam Meyer and De Weert.

    Go Astarloza! Ride like the wind! (I picked him in the TdF and he crashed out 3 days later, so I feel like he owes me…) 😀
