    No disasters for me, but the 2 I brought in scored about the same as the 2 I dropped, so could’ve saved a couple of transfers. Still, 7 consecutive days of green arrows puts me up to 52nd overall – considering I was outside the top 200 in the Giro thats a considerable improvement…

    Stuck now – keep Froome for the TT or sub him out and back in again?

    Anyhow – as I learnt to my cost last year, rest days are primetime for doping eliminations, so I won’t be doing anything til tomorrow morning…

    Mollema definitely in there. A crash or bad day can change anything. He’s in my roaduk team and as he’s cheap I’ll keep him in there. Thanks for reminding me that he can TT a bit.

    I think Fulgsang will lose too much time in the high mountains but could be top 10. His team are dropping like flies though; 3 out already. What’s Mont Ventoux going to do to the peloton if it’s hot? Not much shade up there.

    Fuglsang and Mollema can TT and are a real possibility for the podium and just perhaps more. Porte can cover Quintana for stage wins. Contador, Schleck, Rodriguez and the BMC guys can all have a go when they see opportunity. I see an enthralling tour shaping up, even if Froome does win, I still believe there is plenty to play for. Or maybe cycling in the sun softens my head! Or maybe it’s the beers! and look out for De Ghent, Volckler, and Kruzinger too.

    Valverde used to be half-decent on TTs. He lost 30 secs to Froome on the Vuelta TT but that was up and down. Froome will gain between a minute and a minute and a half on the first one. Maybe 30 secs to a minute on the second one, assuming he’s not been roughed up too much. Will Contador attack on a rolling stage like 14 or will Cannondale dictate that one? It’s certainly not over but I would say that Froome can look after himself up to a point.

    Well, it’s not going to be a Sky fest. Pretty open tour with Froome still having a decent advantage but 2 or 3 tough stages to some. If they gang up on him big time could be like the Vuelta.
