    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.

    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.

    This, basically. Ummed & ashes over Kwiatwoski vs Mollema, but figured I’d be less likely to want to transfer the latter out so went with him.

    Considered Martin, but had already put in Chava instead yesterday, banking on breakaway points that never happened.

    Top 5 so far:
    1.WESTRA L. VCD
    Top 5 so far:

    1.WESTRA L. VCD in 54′ 02”
    2.SICARD R. EUS in 55′ 01” at 0′ 59”
    3.O’GRADY S. OGE in 55′ 24” at 1′ 22”
    4.KITTEL M. ARG in 55′ 50” at 1′ 48”
    5.HIVERT J. SOJ in 55′ 56” at 1′ 54”

    Solid ride from Westra but wouldn’t be surprised to see him outside the top 10 at the end. Impressed with Kittel although, little known fact, he used to be a TT specialist before turning sprinter.

    FROOME – has to win on
    FROOME – has to win on current form
    QUINTANA – should go well on the terrain
    MOLLEMA – going well and should suit him
    NAVARRO – expecting nothing much from him today
    SERPA – he may wake up for the following few days
    KENNAUGH – 5 points from Froome win
    FISCHER – cheapie in from the start, but might as well have stayed on the Copacabana Beach
    NIEVE – should have a good final week
    GADRET – best climber available at the price, but useless

    Yep, not a great tour for the French, yesterday was their best chance of a stage win and they got 2,3,4! They’ll all be pinning their hopes on Rolland for the Polka-dot, but he’ll probably need 2 long breaks in 3 days, one of which stays away. Tough ask…

    That looks like my teams.

    I have Quintana for Kwiatowski.

    Dodged a bullet this morning Peraud was too expensive to fit in, just as well as training accident has him in hospital this morning. wish him a speedy recovery. France missing a good one and some 3 Frenchman teams are going to be hit.

    I had a real struggle with this one. Not happy with my team but its the best I could come up with. Kwiatkowski or Mollema? Tony Martin in for De Gendt or keep De Gendt and save a transfer? Ended up with…

    Froome
    Quintana
    Mollema (in for Voeckler)
    De Gendt (so unpredictable, so saved the transfer just in case. If Martin was nailed-on top 2, I probably would’ve brought him in)
    Monfort (other option was Nieve straight in ready for tomorrow, but wanted to have someone different)
    Plus 4 that won’t score.
