Tour De France stage 3 Ajaccio > Calvi

Stumps · 2013-07-01T09:03:42+01:00

Started the forum off early as i'm away to work later. Brought in 2 for todays stage with a mind on the TT tomorrow then hopefully will have 4 for the return to the flat on stage 5. Todays stage is a bit lumpy but nothing to bad for most of the riders however the last climb at 8.1% over 3 km might cause a few to get dumped out of the back. Hopefully though no change in the gc.

Interesting. I took out Kristoff out last night after he did nothing yesterday and even though I think Katusha might do surprisingly well tomorrow (no-one else seems to be mentioning them much or Astana).

Got Sagan, Kwia (swap for Degenkolb), Simon (swap for Kristoff), Cimolai and Gavazzi.

Got 4 for the TTT tomorrow and deciding which extra two to bring in. It would have been 2 Sky, now not so sure.

Just keep bringing in Vichot, and he never delivers, but know he will today if i ditch him, hey ho!

I ditched Vichot too today; don’t think his team are strong enough to get him over the line in a decent placing if there’s a bunch. Kwiatkowski seems like a strong pick (I was surprised by how well he sprinted on Saturday), but then I’m hardly an expert.

Cue solo breakaway win for Vichot etc.

Vichot has crashed, maybe he’ll really go for it now! 🙂

Today’s stage profile looks
Today’s stage profile looks very similar to stage 1 to Elgoibar in this year’s Pais Vasco. That’s why I’ve picked Gerrans for the win.

20 penalty points but set up for tomorrow now.

Plan for tomorrow is to try and bring in some cheaper Sky guys or another TTTer. Sagan may stay though, unsure 😕
