    Go!

    Not telling anyone who I’ve picked till the window’s closed, but I’ve taken a few risks on this one. Anyone else got anything they want to say?

    Don’t know, apparently Navardauskas has just jumped up to the lead trio and flown straight past them.

    If it doesn’t stick then I’d expect a few attacks on the last climb (possibly Sanchez?) with a view to getting out in front and trying to stay away till the end. That means a fast and frenetic climb that might drop even the stronger sprinters.

    If my break strategy doesn’t stick that’s what I’m hoping for as I’ve got Sanchez as well.

    Gap coming down fast, not going to last till the climb at this rate unless the break get going.

    In hindsight, if you wanted to stage hunt today it might have been worth picking a team of strong sprinters (Mezgec, Nizzolo etc) as they may still get their shot today. Plus, I can’t see many people predicting that outcome.

    Giving up! I was out of the top hundred this stage last year in the Tour (usually my best race). Won a stage with the prize I wanted and finished 20th.

    Got 4 in the break today. They might stay away though I doubt if they will and maybe Caruso will do well as I don’t think many have hiim, although he is quite high in GC. Still got Sanchez, Nibali and Evans if the break is caught and there is a downhill attack. Might leave my team alone for tomorrow as it’s not a certain sprint.

    Fabio Felline of Androni has jumped from the field and has a few meters’ lead. Is he seriously trying to move up? No. He stopped to greet family and friends on the side of the road.

    from cyclingnews live feed.

    Might be his only mention of the day for you and me stumps!

    Id like to think if this break stayed away ive got a good chance of 2 in the top 5/10 with Di Luca and Nava, but we shall see. Hopefully they may go for sprint points šŸ˜•

    At least I have 6 riders that will score something.
    Maybe should have gone Pirazzi or J-Rod II but wanted to save transfers for tomorrow/thursday
