    Morning all!

    So what's the plan for today?  The previews I've seen all seem split between a Sagan sprint, a Cav sprint or a breakaway with no real consensus.

    Given that Impey holds the yellow I can't see Orica-Greenedge letting a break go if there's anyone close in the GC but you never know.

    I'm not making any changes because it's so unpredictable but I have an itchy finger and might bring in Sagan for Greipel.

    Nope, considered him but stuck to my original plan and changed nothing so I have 6 transfers for tomorrow.

    Pretty annoyed with myself though as Voigt should be worth at least 24 points (3 points for each of the first three climbs plus 15 for the sprint) and might have a chance of the stage win (unlikely). Might have been worth a cheeky Gerrans for Voigt tranfer.

    I had this nailed on as not being a sprint 😕 which is why I made no changes yesterday and lost a shed load of points. So I axed Kittel for today with my one transfer looking at a break.

    So 4 free transfers tomorrow (will probably make 5).

    Have a totally unjustified sneaky feeling that I’ll have someone in the break today. :D
