    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?

    This was my other concern
    This was my other concern with chasing the break. Unless you pick the winner or someone placing in the top 10 from a 22 man break you’re not likely to score heavily on a stage like today because there are so many riders and points only being awarded to the first 6 at sprints and the cat 1 climb.

    Pirazzi and Chalapud in the
    Pirazzi and Chalapud in the break, I assume those two plus Rodriguez and the two Movistar riders will go after the climb (Movistar in order to maybe limit Visconti’s losses in case he wants to go after the jersey).

    Had considered Rodriguez and Capecchi today but with a break that big anyone could take the win.

    Tempted to take a punt on a certain garmin rider.

    Cav said he wont be competing in 17, gotta work out if he is bluffing on that yet :?

    Ramunas? if so he’s in the break

    So is J-Rod II X(

    so is Pirazzi 😀

    The Break then:
    Danny Pate (Sky), Wilco Kelderman (Blanco), Eros Capecchi (Movistar), Jose Herrada (Movistar), Grega Bole (Vacansoleil DCM), Tobias Ludvigsson (Argos), Christian Meier (Orica GreenEDGE), Stefano Pirazzi (Bardiani), Matteo Rabottini (Vini Fantini), Jackson Rodriguez (Androni), Emanuele Sella (Androni), Jose Serpa (Lampre-Merida), Rory Sutherland (Saxo-Tinkoff), Gorka Verdugo (Euskaltel), Pieter Weening (Orica GreenEDGE) and Ramunas Navardauskas (Garmin-Sharp)

    some decent powerhouses in there…..Ramunas,Wilco,Pate,Meier,Ludwig would be a decent start to a Time Trial team.

    Surely this is THE Sammy
    Surely this is THE Sammy stage?

    Sanchez and Paolini in for J-Rod II and Scarponi but left plenty of GC/KOM/Youth points in the bag.

    5 transfers for tomorrow

    Chasing the break again;

    Duarte
    Bak
    Rodriguez
    Pirazzi
    Caruso
    Chalapud

    Evans

    No transfers tomorrow, then I can get my team back into shape for the MTT.

    Balls out of the bath: I’ve got Oss, Tamouridis, Martens and J-Rod (Venezuela). Hoping for a classics-esque stage (was *this* close to picking Weening, hopefully that won’t bite me in the bum).

    Seeing as my team is unchanged (and you can find it if you really want) I may as well just announce:

    Nibali

    Santambrogio
    Betancur
    Majka
    Pirazzi
    Garzelli
    Chalapud

    First 6 for GC, last 3 for break points although if it’s a decent sized group at the finish I could see Evans and Santambrogio contesting the sprint for red jersey points and maybe Betancur trying to jump away on the last climb to get that illusive stage win.

    well, there you go. a perfect case study. I had exactly the same squad as you, I have swapped garzelli for di luca ( may regret that) and uran for felline ( he came 2nd behind battaglin on stage 4, the profile has similarities) . we can compare the two strategies later this afternoon! I’m minded to have those 2 for tomorrow also, so not a complete one stage gamble…

    Santambrogio
    Betancur
    Majka
    Di Luca
    Pellizotti
    Navadauskas

    Expect a small group at the finish, Di Luca, Evans Santambrogio will probably sprint it out. Also I think Navadauskas could make the finish which is why I took the risk on him over Niemiec
