    I’m probably going to look stupid later for not picking Cavendish or Goss today. I think the victory will come from a Belgian or Italian, though.

    The three leaders went through the sprint with a lead of 2.05. Don’t know which order. 63.5km to go

    I’ve mainly got guys that I’m hoping will be in the mix regardless of whether the top sprinters get dropped. So Wyss, Goss, Meersman, Nizzolo, Dehaes and Albasini (hopefully he will sprint if Goss is dropped).

    But every decision I’ve made for Romandie so far has been the wrong one – I even had Berard in my team initially. So not expecting much today!

    i’m seeing a group of 50-60
    i’m seeing a group of 50-60 making the final, after a sustained but not killer sky train up the climb.
    I agree with drheaton that the train wont shake competitors today. however, its worth doing for:

    – control
    -tdf training
    -reel in the break?
    – reduced bunch after summit means less risk of crash/injury

    I’m taking the gamble cav doesnt make the cut, and plumped for goss/meersman/matthews ( :”( ) for some sprint points.

    standard:

    froome
    porte
    meersman
    goss
    matthews…
