    Looks like we’re climbing again. 
     

    Just never got to grips with Tirreno Adriatico somehow…onwards and upwards for this one.

    Really hard to predict today.

    Really hard to predict today. I did a risky Porte > Woods. Lost out by a single point.

    He is definitely a bit haphazard nowadays. I always get sucked in if he’s about 10 million. In truth I never considered keeping him in for today so I can’t complain!

    ….and….I don’t pick him

    ….and….I don’t pick him anymore. At one time you could guarantee he would go on maybe 50% of the likely breakaway stages that looked good for him and make a good fist of it….I doubt it’s even 25% now and even then he backs off in most of them.

    If it makes you any happier I took Bling out to thicken up my picks. Tying up too much in MVDP, Bling and WVA hurt me last time…and now he bites me back.

    Guess who took TdG out this morning? Wish I’d missed the deadline now!

    He was without a doubt the favourite. I went for Dion Smith instead. I thought he would do better today and definitely a better pick for tomorrow…my thinking was over the two days he was the better pick. Sadly…

    I wasn’t actually that sure Sagan would be in the hot seat for the sprint..I thought they would have fought harder to displace him.

    It was Meeus that put me off, just in case they ran for him. Proves that the bookies generally get it right, unlike me who had Arensman at 200-1 each way – still riding I think……

    And Soler looking interested today…..presumably he saw that we had both taken him out!

    Bonkers stage in Catalunya.

    Bonkers stage in Catalunya. Mohoric looks like he wants the win today but setting about it in an odd way. Gonna have no legs left at the end.

    Wasn’t sure if Chaves had played his cards yesterday & was certain that 1-10 would be breakaway riders… shows how wrong you can think a stage.

    I didn’t have any doubts about Chaves after yesterday. Soler or Vanhoucke was my dither. He’s a really reliable, if relatively low scoring, pick. I like him.

    Picked Soler like you but had a Chavez/Vanhoucke for GC or LLSanchez/Champoussin for breakaway decision. Went breakaway and went Sanchez feeling he could fancy the kom points. To be honest, if I’d gone GC, I would have probably gone Vanhoucke….

    I very rarely go for breakaway picks until I know they’re going for KOM pts for certain. Broke my rule with Soler last night…stupid pick…Chaves bailed me out nicely. Who did you go with?
