    Again, I’ll probably live to regret my changes. Had fancied Anton for this one but form suggests otherwise. Perhaps a toss up between Gorka and Ion if going for a Euskatel rider in support of Sanchez.

    I’m worried about Contador
    I’m worried about Contador and Pinot but not the other two. They’re both expensive though.

    Velits suffering, not really a climber, use him a lot for TT though.

    Took some risks today left
    Took some risks today left Gerrans in, had Porte, Talansky Quintana and Peraud from the start and added Anton for the Basque angle. Have a couple of good strong climbers to back that lot up but no Contador, No Van Garderen, Pinot or Fuglsang. feeling a bit nervous about that.

    Gilbert well down. Glad I ditched him now. I was a bit worried I’d made a mistake.

    I was trying to run a spreadsheet on it but it was too time consuming and I gave up. There were far too many different names too.

    :B :B :B

    That’s very serious. Txurruka was a fairly obvious one this time round and I’ve had him from the beginning, standard only. Fraile, whom I’ve also got, was cheap and on the invitational team from the country of the race. Picked up Didier as well. Check and see if any of the cheap riders have ever got high in mountain points comps before, tend to go for young ones if nothing else.

    The rest of my team is sans Contador as I thought he was a bit pricey, although I expect him to podium at least. I hope he doesn’t win.

    Got S Sanchez, G Izagirre, Porte, Henao, Talansky and Quintana. 6 decent climbers, a couple can TT, plus 3 for Mountain and sprint points and table and the break; Txurruka, Fraile and Didier. Working so far 🙂

    Looked like Txurruka, Landa, Fraile, Bardet, Navarro in that order over the cat 2 climb. A cat 3 after another 15km, then 20km to the finish…

    He might not have to in terms of winning the KOM?

    thats why i didnt bother swapping out navarro on day two for him …i rarely get breakaway guys and if i pick someone who seems to want to go everyday they never do after i pick them…. X(

    Yeah. I thought bringing him
    Yeah. I thought bringing him in yesterday or today would’ve been a knee jerk reaction. Sometimes knee jerk reactions work. I’ve still not got him :&

    Right – home early from work
    Right – home early from work and watching on Eurosport with the sun shining outside and 2 members of my fantasy team in the break. Nice. B-)
