    Made 5 changes, weighing up another but it’ll cost me 20 points because I’ll want to reverse it tomorrow so I probably won’t bother.

    I’ve dropped Wiggo. He just doesn’t seem right to me. Plus could get in 3 good TT’ers for the cost of him. Hoping their combined score outweighs Wiggo’s. I also think Wiggins will struggle on the big mountain stages when it comes to it. I have always thought Evans Le Tour win was a one off, he always seems to lack something generally in the big tours. So I have done a big u-turn and picked him as I think he looks pretty good. Keeping a low profile, nobody has mentioned him yet only a handful of seconds off the lead and he can TT too :O

    After my predicted disaster
    After my predicted disaster yesterday, I’ve just gone for Wiggo, Nibali, Gesink and Phinney plus the cheap ones I already had in – damage limitation and hopefully (except Phinney) people I can keep in for the next couple of days. Kelderman and Danielson were on the shortlist…

    I had him in yesterday so he’ll definitely stay in and there is probably not much competition here as usual in a long Grand Tour ITT(No Martin,Cancellara,Tejay,Froome,Porte,LuLuSanchez,Chavanel,Westra etc).

    To be honest he’d be coming in even if he wasn’t already in and and I reckon anyone without him will forfeit 45pts today(stage win+pink).

    He is a certain winner today
    He is a certain winner today as Im not picking him….Up until yesterday he was going into my team but I was just not convinced with his desire yesterday….He will probably win the TT but I think he has lost the tour and Im not convinced that he will be in Pink after today…Hope Im wrong though and we see the Brad of 2012…
