    No idea how this race is going to go but today looks flat enough so I’m throwing 9 sprinters at my team and seeing what sticks. No Sagan but I’ve got:

    Bouhanni
    Kristoff
    Kittel
    Boonen
    Gallopin
    Breschel
    Appollonio
    Fortin
    Iglinsky

    Got 1-3 but not much else, like many others had Traksel for Qatar but not here. Team is balanced for tomorrow with Sagan, Gilbert and Gallopin whom I’m hoping will do well, saving transfers for 4 when the GC will be shaken up, although that will probably happen tomorrow as well. A good start for my strategy, which was not too sprinter heavy, and the ones I picked brought home the bacon.

    Hmmm, had first, second and sixth but little sign of anything else , points-wise. Not a disaster, but I suspect a fair few people did well today.

    Ummed and ahhed this morning over dropping out Bennati for Viviani, but left him in because, er, he’s worth more. I really have to get out of the habit of trying to pick my team up the maximum value.

    Traksel got combativity tho

    too bad nobody got him after his ToQ…

    Bobbie Traksel (CSS) takes most aggressive. #TOO13

    Yes he did, that may scupper my chancesof the win, unless Gallopin/Breschel get 11 and 12.

    You may have won the stage then, my only hope is Sagan and GVA coming next of the rest

    Gallopin, Breschel and Iglinsky not reported so doubtful I’ll get full house but sure 6 of the top 7 nets me a top 10 place on the stage?

    And quite Possibly the stage!

    I need Sagan and Van Avermate to have come 11th and 12th

    Love to know how many had Goddaert though

    Depending on the points and youth classifications I make that somewhere in the region of 200 points 😀

    Question now though is do I stockpile transfers for the Green Mountain stage or do I switch it up and bring in Sagan/Degenkolb types for tomorrow?

    Well I already had Sagan as I knew he could be a mainstay throughout, also why I went Boonen over Bouhanni with tomorrow in mind. I dont think there is much I can change unless I can somehow get Phinney in
