    So Stage 3,

    Are there any surpise riders so far? Any riders that are a must have? And who has been the most dissapointing so far?

    According to cyclingnews, it was Sylvain Chavanel

    It was Chavanel. He was presented with the jersey they give to the most courageous rider.

    Sprinters…..seriously,
    Sprinters…..seriously, doubt they will be there at the finish. 😕

    From 50-90 miles its mainly uphill and pretty steady grades. Sagan will struggle today, over 8k of climbing to be done.

    Stage 5 might be for sprinters, just about, but thats the only stage for them this year

    And to answer the original question – who has been most disappointing so far? De Gendt. Or me.

    I had such a bad team, that I’ve just brought in Acevedo (hoping he’ll have the lead for a couple of days at least now) and Carter Jones for the KOM points.

    Yesterday I had to choose between dropping either JJ Haedo or van Poppel and chose VP, so Haedo immediately dropped out of the race just to spite me. If Van Poppel does well today it’ll be a bit of an arse.

    So I’m left with…
    Tejay
    Andy Schleck (can’t believe I fell for that one)
    Sagan
    Meersman
    Carter Jones
    Acevedo
    Keough
    Euser
    De La Cruz

    I’m thinking of changing my DJ name to DJ Van Garderen.

    Everyone is a surprise for
    Everyone is a surprise for me! What to do next is anyone’s guess, especially after they endured that living hell yesterday. Difficult to say how many sprinters (if any) will make it to the end today and especially tomorrow, a lot of the better-known riders are struggling in the heat or not taking it that seriously, and there are a lot of breakaway points available so could be worth gambling on someone in the break. In other words, not got a f**king clue. Not very helpful I know!
