    Right, team picked. Five sprinters, three sprinting all-rounders and the current leader’s jersey holder. Hoping he remembers his track legs For the final km’s after a day on the roads.

    Balls out of the bath time
    Balls out of the bath time for me as well – mine’s a sprint-heavy squad.

    Couldn’t resist tinkering with my squad, which I had picked specifically with saving transfers in mind. Brought in Kelderman and Soupe in the hope they’ll finish at the front somewhere and get me GC points (no Viviani though, which seems to run contrary to most others – could be egg on face time come this evening).

    Expecting big things from Bouhanni today and tomorrow…

    Quote:On the gun, Romain

    On the gun, Romain Sicard (EUS), Bertjan Lindeman (VCD) and Yannick Talabardon (SOJ) broke clear. They now lead the bunch by 1:25.

    Personally my pick for leader at the end of the day is Viviani, especially given that three have gone up the road so there shouldn’t be any bonus seconds available out of the peloton to the likes of Chavanel.

    I was thinking he could actually do something on stage 3, same with Hivert.

    Actually hoping Grivko goes in the break to try and take the bonus seconds

    I too have also gambled on the enigma that is `Hutarovich`…..Good….Bad…..and nothing in between…

    Bouhanni

    Mine is as above, except replace Hivert and Westra (incidentally both in my purist team) with Matthews (bit of a shot in the dark) and Gallopin.

    I had 6 sprinters and 3 TTers
    I had 6 sprinters and 3 TTers for yesterday, so kept Chavanel and brought in 2 more sprinters as the winds don’t look like they’ll cause problems today. Hoping for a good day – although I’m sure a lot of people will have similar teams…

    My French isn’t great, but from scanning the rules, I think that the stage winner gets 10 secs bonus, then 6 and 4 – so sprinters that had a good prologue will have their eye on the Yellow Jersey…
