    Lumpy stage today but not as bad as tomorrow.  Sounds like a reduced bunch sprint is most likely with the proper sprinters getting dropped on the final climb about 12km from the finish.

    Gallopin, Simon, Gilbert etc all seem very popular but who's your money on today?  Can Viviani keep the lead?

    And how are you managing your team ahead of tomorrow and the proper mountains?  Time to drop your sprinters now or wait another day?  I've gutted my team making a penalty transfer to rid myself of Kittel, Renshaw, Hutarovich and Bouhanni but I've kept Viviani for now.

    I nearly brought in Kelderman but went for Roche, I have no idea why, just a hunch. Hoping that Roche is there or there abouts on every stage.

    He’s nothing if not consistent (and boring).

    Yeah, I’ll be keeping him for the duration but he’s listed for the finish today as I think it suits him down to the ground and he may try and make up some time on the climbers today so I see him as a good bet for the finish today.

    I’ll be bring TJ back in for Friday, maybe Gesink too if I can shift some credits around.

    you don’t think Chavanel for the long haul? I think he has a great chance of a podium with only 1 summit finish and seems on good form

    Tejay for the win overall though

    Well Ive kept Kittel and Viviani just inacase. Ive worked out abit of a plan in my head for the next couple of days đŸ˜•

    Tomorrow may be won by a break, and Ive gonna put the perfect guy in along with a GC guy.

    As for today I already have a couple of GC guys that are also there for the final TT. Along with a few that could be there for the stage. Still waiting for Grivko to go in a break (the day after I take him out?)

    Viviani
    Kittel
    Gallopin
    Meersman
    Ulissi
    Hivert
    Grivko
    Chavanel
    Tejay

    I’ve started bringing in the GC guys now hoping that today and tomorrow they top 20 at the finish. I don’t expect Kittel or Renshaw to be anywhere at the finish so I can’t really lose (famous last words).

    No penalty transfers, so if
    No penalty transfers, so if the sprinters make it to the finish I still have 4, but if they don’t I have 3 or 4 that might contest a reduced sprint, plus a cheap guy that I’m hoping will hit the break today or tomorrow. So hedging my bets cagily today…

    Haven’t carried over any transfers, but do have 30 credits in hand. Will probably drop 2 sprinters after today, and 2 more after tomorrow, just need to decide which GC guys to bring in…
