    So, is today a breakaway stage or will the GC guys bring it back together for a big finish?

    My money is on a select group reaching the finish together (mainly GC people) similar to the crazy stage during Tirreno-Adriatico.

    My 1,2,3 for today is Sanchez, Quintana, Henao.  Sanchez has something to prove and Euskatel need a win, Quintana and Henao are both in great form and I can't see any group with Porte in making it to the finish at the front, why would you tow along Porte when he's just going to smash you to bits in the TT?

    At this points in time Txurruka has pretty much sewn up the mountains and sprint jerseys so will he bother racing today?

    No changes for me so I'll announce my team:

    Contador, Porte, Quintana, Sanchez, Peraud, Ulissi, Txurruka, Cardoso, Betancurt

    Didn’t think I could get close to yesterday’s 255pts, but might have got close.

    1,2,3,4,5,7,8,11 + Txurruka 😀

    After a poor start this competition is turning out quite well for me. Have 4 transfers saved for the TT too.

    Does anyone have a full list of riders that have abandoned?

    Another full house and 180 I
    Another full house and 180 I expect!
    13478911 plus Txurruka and Didier! Not too bad!

    At least chrisdstripes didn’t have Sanchez and got rid of Ulissi, so we both didn’t transfer so great. Raysilvester had Sanchez but no Henao so about equal there except my general team is stronger so I could be second in Forum Scorum tonight! It’s a pity there aren’t any big tours next week as I’m free in the afternoon. I might have to actually do some cycling!! 😉

    Similar result as yesterday for me….Sanchez should feature well with the GC top 6….Loads of 200 points fantasy teams again….

    THINK I CALLED THAT ONE PRETTY WELL…. B-) 🙂 😉

    I had Fraile earlier and
    I had Fraile earlier and dropped Talansky but can’t see the latter scoring many points. I’m pretty sure it’ll all come together when Movistar and Saxo come to the front. Only a minute gap.

    Just remembered Fraile is in my purist! Go lad!! Also got G Izagirre, Talansky Sanchez, Porte and Contador in my purists so hopefully whatever happens one of my teams will do well!
