My only worry is that with so many teams not having got anything from the race yet the last climb will be carnage and someone (Sanchez?) will get away.

    Either way, hope that Cav wants the red jersey enough to sprint for minor placings.

    The good dr read my mind….Thats why I only put in 3 sprinters and Sanchez as a cover bet.. đŸ™‚

    Sort of fancy DiLuca but team orders may make him play nursemaid to Santambrogio…

    Really have no idea what to do today.

    I’d planned on making 5 transfers with a view to it being a sprint but everywhere I look they’re saying a sprint is unlikely. So, do I stick with my original plan and bring in Cav +4 sprinters or do I chase the break or do I stick with the team that got me 179 points yesterday?

    If the GC guys try to test each other again today on what is apparently a very tight and technical climb that’s much harder than it’s cat 4 categorisation then a sprint won’t happen and it’ll go the same way as yesterday. BUT if some of the sprinters teams want to keep it together will the GC guys be happy to take it easy ahead of tomorrow’s potentially more important TT?

    Argh!

    8 transfers and no idea what to do with them…

    Sort of wishy washy effort from me. I agree STEVESPRO wish I didn’t have so many transfers it would make playing the game less time consuming at least.

    Nibali
    Niemeic
    Betancur
    Majka
    Felline
    Nizzolo
    Mezgec
    Pellizoti
    Pirazzi

    I will have 5 transfers for tomorrow though and I know what I want to do with them.

    Shame the big climbs at the weekend are not going to happen spoiling a good finale.

    :/

    Mmmm…Gatto worked hard yesterday to reduce Santambrogio’s deficit… đŸ˜•

    Enrique has no idea how having so many banked transfers can cause so much stress…What a stupid place to put a hill on a so called flat stage…. :/ đŸ™‚

    Some transfers banked, too.

    Marcato, Canola, Felline & Gatto, you’ve been reading the same preview as me I see đŸ˜€

    No Duarte though?

    The one difference is they won’t have had the tough climbs earlier on, anyway heres my team to tackle tomorrow. It will either work, or it won’t, but I do expect Felline and Nava to be ok and be at the finish either way. Cav was incase, and Mezgec as he is cheap and only replaced Di Luca (who I can only see being at the finish if its a sprint anyway). I also axed Nibali, Santambrogio and Uran

    Cav
    Mezgec
    Felline
    Navardauskas
    Kangert
    Pellizotti
    Majka
    Betancur
    Evans

    From what we saw today I doubt it. Haven’t got a single sprinter, built for the TT with a couple of chances of a break/late attack for tomorrow. Left in Sammy for one last go!
