    So Stage 8 is finally here, Individual TT time!
    After Wiggos crash yesterday is everyone still confident he can take his TT crown? Or will there be another surprise result???

    Duh, another stinkin’ set of
    Duh, another stinkin’ set of transfer picks for me. Spent most of the day in high spirits as thought I had picked Dowsett – but haven’t! Going to bank a load of transfers now and save them for the sprinters on 12 & 13.

    That aside, great ride from Dowsett, hope his time holds on.

    Apparently Wiggins may have crashed earlier on, but unconfirmed rumour at the moment. He defo would have gone first had he not changed his bike

    Wiggins second in the end.
    Wiggins second in the end. Not sure he’ll get yellow though as Intxausti is a good TTer on a hilly course and is way ahead on time. Hope Nibali and Hesdejal go well as they are the riders I’ll keep for the next few days. Dowsett to go out, maybe Intxausti but we’ll see. He might be worth keeping. Took 40 penalty points two days ago to set up my team for yesterday through to Thursday next week and so far it’s worked after a few bad days in a row.

    2nd for Wiggins (bike change
    2nd for Wiggins (bike change cost him the difference), still think Scarponi, Gesink, Evans, Hesjedal, Inxausti and Nibali will still all go quicker than Wiggins

    Of the under-15-credits guys, I would go for Dowsett myself. Can’t squeeze him in tho with the other guys I’ve got…

    Kangert going well.
    Henao
    Kangert going well.

    Henao caught Kelderman, im surprised at that, think Kelderman caught Golas too.

    Wiggins had a mechanical as well, didnt seem to loose too much time though

    Sergent and Phinney will come
    Sergent and Phinney will come out tomorrow for me, and maybe Nibs or Intxausti depending on today.

    Anyone see Wiggo breeze by Di Luca then, anyone think he can catch Pozzovivo his 5 minute man?

    Might regret not picking Dowsett after I mentioned him above but at a penalty transfer for Visconti he’d need to podium (25 points or more) to make it worth it as it’d be a penalty transfer to him in, another to get him out plus guaranteed jersey points for Visconti.

    I tried to only bring in TTer’s that would be useful for upcoming stages……Durbridge the only luxury pick and he’ll come out tomorrow(probably for Sammy Sanchez).

    Impressive from Dowsett though…..unlucky chrisdstripes!!

    Interesting, I knew Wiggo would be on mechanical gears, but he’s on a standard Dura Ace chainset, NO O rings…. 😕 😕
