    As no-one else has made one I’ll get the ball rolling as I’m free this afternoon to watch this one and I think for a TT it’ll be good.

    My team, with one change from yesterday is:

    Vicenzo Nibali (AST)
    Przemyslaw Niemiec (LAM)
    Cadel Evans (BMC)
    Robinson Eduardo Chalapud (COL)
    Tanel Kangert (AST)
    Michele Scarponi (LAM)
    Carlos Alberto Betancur (ALM)
    Franco Pellizotti (AND)
    Rafal Majka (SAX)

    Gone for Scarponi rather than Uran and Kangert as a TT expert. He might win if Nibali lets him; I think it’s between those two but Nibali under pressure to get a stage win.

    One free transfer to add to two for tomorrow to get my team right for the mountains. Debating whether to go for a full GC or mixed GC and mountain point strategy, which it seems will depend on the weather.

    1,4,5,6,7,10 plus Pellizotti,
    1,4,5,6,7,10 plus Pellizotti, and GC/jersey points for Evans. Could be green arrows for a change…
    EDIT – just remembered my 30 penalty points – maybe not green arrows after all!

    Tempted to stick with the GC team for the next couple of days and have 6 transfers for the sprint, but might swap Evans/Pellizotti for two potential stage winners…

    Have to say Caruso has been hugely impressive, especially since he wasn’t even going to be riding until Basso pulled out last-minute. Could be worth keeping an eye on for the Worlds/Lombardy…

    Well Scarponi beat Uran by only two places.

    Nibali gets his stage. Well done!

    Damn you Sammy and Damiano.

    Right riders. Wrong stage but as Scarponi did well, not too much of a problem. Don’t think Kangert got a point so no full house.
