    Right it seems ive made a massive oversight with regards to this stage, so im gonna to apologise now…

    It seems the parcours is not actually as flat as I thought, and it shouldn’t be/isn’t a flat stage. When I read the stage profile I saw climbs of 2.9km at 6.1% and 6.3km at 2.9% so thought it was pretty flat. However I failed to notice that on each of these climbs they actually ramp up to 27% that I failed to notice

    So all I can do right now is apologise for that

    That’s the problem with time bonuses on the line. Breaks aren’t given a chance. Glad the TdF doesn’t have them; makes the racing more interesting and varied.

    I’d say Sagan just edges it… only by a tiny bit though. =P~

    I tend to give my purist teams lots of thought and then still pick badly so I wouldn’t bother 😉

    I like the difficulties of picking one team for a whole race but it can sometimes be dispiriting to pick riders who should do well only for them to flop spectacularly.

    When you can win the Green jersey and some classics for about the next decade, why bother?

    Brought him in today but swaped Contador for him instead of Froome! Unfortunately the main purist team against mine has him and I don’t, so I’m not going to win the Purist I think. Knew about the 20% for today but not when I picked my purist team. The profile didn’t show it only the timetable, I think, and I don’t normally put much thought into Purist but perhaps I will in future.

    It would be but there are no break points in multi day races, only mountain and/or sprint points.
