    I can’t see it being a bunch sprint today, i really can’t. the climb to tre cuni is too long and the descent off it is narrow and steep and twisty.

    Thankfully, I think most teams will have Wiggins so it might not make too much difference but if any team has neither and went for Evans instead they could surge right up the table.

    I’m happy I went for the all-Italian option for my team…come on Nibs. Can I rise from the bottom to the top?

    I cracked and made two
    I cracked and made two transfers:

    Ventoso (for Bouhanni)
    Mezgec (for Gavazzi)
    Cavendish
    Viviani
    Nizzolo
    Battaglin
    Di Luca
    Evans
    Chalapud

    Just want to keep pace today before throwing some penalty transfers at my team for tomorrow.

    I have a bad feeling about
    I have a bad feeling about today – might not be as sprinty as I thought. Was hoping for a bigger day yesterday so today wouldn’t matter so much, should’ve gone Mezgec over Gavazzi! Looking at my team now – it doesn’t look good at all.

    And of course could’ve done with Bouhanni sticking around for one more day – the sprinters I do have are not so strong for a 250km stage.

    Cav
    Viviani
    Gavazzi
    Modolo
    Evans
    Majka
    Di Luca
    Wauters (seems like the only Vacansoleil rider not to be in a break since I brought him in)
    And the last-minute Hail Mary in for Bouhanni – Taylor Phinney.

    I had 3 transfers for today
    I had 3 transfers for today so ditched Bouhanni and Locatelli and brought in Uran for guaranteed points for the next few days and Wurf as a serial breakist who I hope will be mopping up some points today. Leaves me 3 transfers for the big mountains.

    Nizzolo for Bouhanni, I had planned no changes, although now thinking I should have played it safe and just brough Nibs in but oh well. Gonna need a penalty transfer or two tomorrow

    Bouhanni as French champ was
    Bouhanni as French champ was always most likely to ride the Tour. If Demare isn’t riding in support/lead out then I guess they want to make sure Bouhanni is in top shape so a rest isn’t out of the question.

    Either that or he was politely asked to stop endangering other sprinters and go home.

    All I know about Bouhanni is
    All I know about Bouhanni is that FDJ have already said Demare won’t be riding the Tour, so presumably Bouhanni will. Maybe it was always the intention to pull out now (L’Equipe says next stop Dauphine). If thats case, its strange that he didn’t have one last go at a stage win today – and worries me that maybe he doesn’t see it as a sprint day!

    Plus Hesjedal!!

    To be fair Wiggins and Hesjedal came at a good time for fantasy purposes as most will have subbed them out for sprinters yesterday so can put whoever they like back in once it goes uphill again.
