    Well im out all day playing Golf, then going to work, so I thought I’d get this rolling and post my team. Surely today and tomorrow have got to be sprints?

    My team is this

    Cav (for Nibali)
    Viviani
    Bouhanni (for Santambrogio)
    Gavazzi
    Battaglin
    Di Luca (for Pirazzi)
    Evans
    Betancur
    Majka

    Ok so its not the most sprint heavy team, but should have 3 of the top 5. Then ive kept the GC etc who will score me the most, but also based on price. Evans would score more than Nibali due to points, Betancur and Majka will score the same as Santambrogio and Pirazzi. No sprinter for Vini, so Di Luca is as good a shout as anyone to give it a go, and cheap. Just hope I haven’t missed a trick not going Mezgec now Degenkolb is out

    As i’m so far behind i will post my team now and if anyone wants a few red arrows they can copy my team 🙁

    Mark Cavendish
    Elia Viviani
    Stefano Pirazzi
    Robinson Eduardo Chalapud
    Nacer Bouhanni
    Matthew Goss
    Davide Appollonio
    Mattia Gavazzi
    Dmitriy Kozontchuk

    My only concern is the 4th cat towards the end. If someone jumps off the front going up will the sprint teams be willing to chase it back down ????

    Brought in Cav and Viviani
    Brought in Cav and Viviani too and had Gavazzi anyway. All my other riders will pick up minor Jersey points so fingers crossed for a Full house badge 😀

    Had a piss poor Tour from stage 3 onwards :”( but had green arrows yesterday which was nice B-)
    Gonna start saving Transfers as i’ve taken too many penalties for no gain……. :&

    hopes pinned on viviani/bouhanni/gavazzi/mezgec today

    plus cuddles will mix it up and try and nab a few red jersey points with a bit of luck

    i’ve had mezgec from day 1 too. about time he pulled his finger out, now that degenkolb’s gone home he’s got more reason to have a go

    I’ve had Mezgec since the start and he’s done FECK all for me.

    I took in Cav, Viviani, Bouhanni and Battaglin for today, still have 5 transfers banked and that will be 7 once the couple of flat stages are over. So will still be hunting for a stage win to fill up my badges. Then work out where I can get a tour top 10…..

    I had 6 transfers saved up and have used 5 – was also tempted by Mezgec but like the idea of keeping transfers for the weekend. Brought in Cav, Viviani, Gavazzi, Bouhanni and one other, and kept Evans rather than Nibali.

    Giro has gone well this week, and Cali very badly, so I’m yoyo-ing up and down the overall table at the moment!

    Avila is my wildcard. Cavendish and Viviani in, as the red jersey comp should be exciting today. Like that ‘Tappa’ has become the norm when posting, too.

    Mezgec was the one rider I was most unsure about.

    I have Chalapud from yesterday so that’s 3 points guaranteed but I’m very tempted to bring in Mezgec. Problem is he’d need to score 13 points to make it worth it (plus 10 more tomorrow so it’s worth the penalty to take him out) and I don’t know if he’ll manage it. 23 points in two days is effectively two top 10 finishes.

    The upside to Mezgec is that tomorrow looks much harder than today and he could feature more so than the flat sprinters like Cavendish.
