    Well, after todays stage where do we go from here. My main GC hope for the comp, Gesink, is over a minute down.

    With seven cat climbs its going to be a very difficult day and the weather is supposed to be rubbish again tomorrow.

    Time to wisely use my 2 transfers 😕

    I was considering bringing Gesink in for tomorrow. Now he’s fallen a little behind he may be given some space to attack tomorrow and take the stage.

    Clement, Clarke, Taaramae and maybe even JTL are others I’ve got my eye on for tomorrow as they’re all a good few minutes down.

    Got rid of Gesink as he’s
    Got rid of Gesink as he’s doing nothing and my team now looks like:

    Sylvain Chavanel (OPQ)
    Tejay van Garderen (BMC)
    Nicolas Roche (SAX)
    Andrew Talansky (GRM) (for gallopin)
    Enrico Gasparotto (AST)
    Richie Porte (SKY)
    Gorka Izagirre (EUS) (for gesink)
    Damien Gaudin (EUC)
    Egoitz Garcia (COF)

    In the end I didn’t try chasing after the break, my team:

    Talansky
    Porte (for Soupe)
    Quintana (for Viviani)
    Roche
    Westra
    Chavanel
    Hivert
    Gallopin
    Haussler

    No TJ and I may not actually bother to bring him in at all. He’s expensive and I don’t know he’s worth it when compared to some of the others.

    Hoping for it to come back together before the end and have a GC sprint.

    Gutted! Looks like a strong
    Gutted! Looks like a strong break and one that could well make it to the end depending on how much leeway they get from the peloton.

    However you might be in luck TER, Voeckler is only 1’32 down on Talansky so Garmin will probably keep it on a fairly short leash and try to limit any loss if it stays away.

    Got rid of Meersman for Clarke! anticipating the break, guess who is in the break….Meersman :”(

    Voeckler, Dupond, Meersman, Tschopp, Barguil, Sicard and Morkov.

    Just hoping the break is caught before the last sprint so some others may get some points

    I’ve made my changes, both sprinters for GC men, but I’m really tempted to pick a couple of potential breakaway guys…

    Penalty transfers or no I never get it right but my punt on Talansky yesterday paid off so I’m tempted to follow my gut and pick up Keizer who might be looking to keep the mountains jersey but that’d mean dropping either Hivert or Haussler…

    No matter how many times I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of this I always come back to the realistation that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing most of the time.

    Incurred my first EVER penalty points today. Picked the wrong Basque last time, so sorted that out, and brought in Porte and a makeweight domestique (albeit one with a gleam in his eye…).

    Happily, already had Talansky and TJVG 😀

    but 126 on purist 😀 12th on stage <:P

    Taken a punt on a VCD rider 5mins down :B plus a few others for 20 point penalty :?

    I don’t think tomorrow is really de Gendt’s type of stage, he’s one for the big occasions, the queen stages, a bit like Pierre Rolland.

    I might bring him in later but not just yet.

    I had a look at my team and I can get Van Garderen in there but only just and by ditching Hivert. I might take the risk and leave out TJVG in favour of a number of other potentials like Porte or Peraud.
