    Ok, I’m early but we teachers are still off in North Yorks, and this is a good distraction from planning and marking.

    Looking at draft team options for Sunday and there are currently 23 Dutch riders listed as potentially riding. Whilst a Dutch rider hasn’t won since (E) Dekker in 2001, statistically they’re the most successful nation in the race, with 17 victories. Then it’s the Belgians with 11, Italians 6 and others 3 or fewer.

    With Sagan as the exception, I’m confident in fielding 8 Dutch riders who could do well. I’m sure they won’t all remain in my team, but could this be a year for a ‘home’ victory? Mollema, Terpstra etc…

    Yes, I believe so. ProCyclingStats have him down too.

    Push-to-shove, I’d go Terminator over Purito, though if my classics selection suggest anything then I’d think twice before listening to me.

    Saying that, Phil Gil is a must-pick for me.

    Im torn between Sagan and J-Rod, J-Rod in both teams at the moment. Mollema is in my purist team, went with a frenchman in my standard team instead. I do have another dutchman in both teams though.

    This could all change though….
