    20 minutes to the deadline so not much harm in revealing my team

    My team

    Christopher Froome (SKY)
    Mikel Nieve Ituralde (EUS)
    Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas (MOV)
    Roman Kreuziger (SAX)
    Tony Martin (OPQ)
    Murilo Antonio Fischer (FDJ)
    Christophe Le Mevel (COF)
    William Bonnet (FDJ)

    Hoping that the 5 above me haven’t gone with Martin and he wins today, I don’t think he’ll be out of the top 5 today anyway. Those climbs will suit a proper TT’er.

    the côte de Puy-Sanières
    the côte de Puy-Sanières (6.5km) and the côte de Réallon (30km): these are both category-two ascents carrying 5, 3, 2 and 1 points for the fastest four up them in the TT

    I went T martin instead of Kreuziger, rats :”(
    There goes any chance of tour top 10- unless it starts peeing it down :evil:

    Thunder storms were forecast for the final runners so there may still be some drama ahead.

    Actually, just had a look, thunder storms still forecast but coming in around 6pm local time, probably just in time for the presentations đŸ˜€

    Yeah, Castro a wasted
    Yeah, Castro a wasted transfer but Bonnet is still looking good for 10 points đŸ˜€

    I only really brought him in as I needed a cheap rider and I figured I could leave him in for stage 21. It’s not like any other cheap rider has done much this race.

    What’s the deal with bike
    What’s the deal with bike changes today? Are they allowed to switch as and when they want? Or is there some kind of restriction?

    Castroviejo waaaay down, Tony Martin 3rd but will obviously drop. Really glad I kept De Gendt over Martin, was a close-run thing…

    Just checked current results
    Just checked current results and can’t believe Kittel has obliterated guys like Kadri, Bauer, Cam Meyer and Terpstra! Doubt it means much though.

    My cheap outside bets to score a few points today are Monfort and Coppel. I can think of 20 guys who can outscore them but not at that price.

    De Gendt first at the first
    De Gendt first at the first time check, 20-odd seconds up on Westra. I was tempted to drop De Gendt to get Westra in my team but figured it wasn’t worth the penalties. Hopefully it pays off đŸ˜€

    if they’re scored in the race they’ll be scored in the game. but i don’t think they are.

    Oh, and am I right in thinking no KOM points today (other than the overall standings) because it’s a TT? I know there are two 2-cat climbs today, but can’t remember how that’ll work fantasy-wise.

    According to the Scoring info for this stage, there are no KOM points for the cat 2’s, so you are right in thinking!
