    Got just

    Cav
    Kittel
    Kristoff (who has been consistent)
    Quintana

    with a 10pt pen so going to drop today but doesn’t matter now.

    Mainly interested in my Cycling News team where I need a few improbable things to happen. Cav out of the top 5 and Rojas in it or some GC riders I’ve got, Valverde, Bardet or Nieve in the top 20. Got Sagan and Kittel there as I need a Cav fail to have any chance.

    Got Cav for roaduk to try and tie up the forum top place I currently hold.

    Timmer (Just in case Kittel wins)

    How on earth have you got 4 who could top 5 AND Quintana?

    I have 4 of the top 5, but not a chance I could afford Quintana, I was struggling to get cheap enough riders

    I’ve axed Quintana and
    I’ve axed Quintana and Froome, any one who finishes 6th or above basically justifies dropping them, more so if they get intermediate points.

    Big question is whether Sagan is worth 40 today? Do you go 2 2nd tier sprinters at the same cost?

    Will reveal my team after the start, hopeful I can make the 70 points up. I think top has 2 transfers, he has 6 mountain guys though, really think there’s a small chance I can sneak the overall.

    Can only see Kittel
    Can only see Kittel challenging Cav, Greipel has lost one of his lead out and without a perfect train he rarely seems to win.

    Out of interest, is the finish line in the same place this year? I know they’ve extended the circuit to include the Arc du Triomphe for the first time so wonder if they’ve moved the finish line further from the last corner?

    Either way Cav/Kittel win, Greipel in third, Sagan top 6 with some of the part time sprinters making the top 10. WIll be interesting to see what Sky do today, does Thomas get a go in the sprint, does one of their rider have a go in the break?
