Criterium Du Dauphine stage 4
So how do we think this one is gonna go?
A Wggins/Martin or Martin/Wiggins 1-2? or can someone else spoil that party....im not so sure over 53km, the question is if martin wins and takes yellow, can he hold on through the weekend?
May as well throw my team out now
Rogers
Wiggins
Martin
Brajkovic
Coppel
Simon
Gallopin
Durbridge
Pires
Not wholly satisfied, however could have all my stars in the top 10, as well as a couple of my DS's in the top 20
Took a punt on Pires, has the potential to scrape the top 20, but also more as he could go in a breakaway over the coming days...

192pts puts me 15th on the stage and I rise a massive 500 places in the Dauphine,25 overall and 2 in the regional.
Gambling on stage 5 a bit hoping for a KOM shootout so brought in Kadri and Edet for Grivko and Westra(nervous about leaving Lieuwe out to be honest).
Team
Evans
Chavanel
Wiggins
Rogers
Bernaudeau
Edet
Gallopin
Kelderman
Kadri
174 points puts me up to 3rd in the purist league best score I have ever had !!!!
anyone know when the scores are going up? one of the biggest mysteries of the whole competition....
1,2,7,10,12,16,19 much better even if i did take a penalty!
1,7,8,13. must do better.
1,3,16th - pretty crap but still got my main team in for the next few stages so should save a few transfers if needed.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th & 8th today
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th & 6th in GC
White and maybe Green Jersey
at long last a decent score
156 points i reckon for me, can only see myself falling from 24th....oh nevermind
1,2,3,4,7,10,20. A relief after the train wreck of a game I've had so far
Pleased with that. Saved up 4 changes and they all performed.
1,2,3,7,12,16,19...
Good that some v popular riders underperformed too...
Porte? Westra? EBH...
Had Wiggins, Martin, Evans and Grivko top 15. Nearly put durbridge and rogers in but decided against the 20 point penalty! Oops
1/2/4/7/9/10 ...only couldve picked better if i took out Westra not Gallopin (for Durbridge) and put in Rogers not Millar (for Ciolek). Happy though
Good Day for mee! 
1,5,7,9 not too bad I suppose.
Surprised at Luis Leon.
Well, not really, I got rid of him by accident
deciding Kelderman would not top 20 so took a risk could cost me a chance of winning the dauphine
Yeah, I thought of picking him as well. Toss up between him and Durbridge and went wiith Durbridge because of his form. Would have been about top 5 on the stage if I'd chosen Kelderman rather than Grivko and kept Durbridge, but 182 wasn't too shabby. Nearly caught you up
Taken a risk for tomorrow but not saying what it is
aww forgot about Martin
Bah, have two of the slowest five riders (Kreder and Bouhanni) but not the slowest
Looking ok so far, Chavanel going well, Evans, Wiggins and Millar should score well and Durbridge looks set for a top 10. Not as bad as I'd expected.
Now im regretting my risk of Pires rather than going Kelderman or Plaza
, other than that not looking too shabby (as didnt expect too much from Gallopin and Simon)
Shrek fell off.....His mangled backside says that he is not bluffing.....OUCH.....
Wow, I didn't realise that Schleck had lost nearly 10 minutes! Wow!
He really is screwed for this years TdF isn't he? I reckon he won't even finish it, he'll do a Frank and once he's lost his shot of winning he'll fall off and throw in the towel.
Those two really are hopeless against the clock... or do you reckon he's bluffing?

Great ride by Andy Schleck...
EBH has gone off like a train!!
has anyone got a link to tv coverage of this?
On eurosport etc at 13:45 BST. Check out steephill.tv for links
Durbridge really kicking ass!
2mins faster than Tjallingii
Durbridge smashing it at the minute, 30-something seconds up on Rosseler/Meyer. Average of 52.7kmph for the first 18km. Unless he has a problem or has gone out too hard he should be a shoe-in for a top 20 position.
Grabsch?
Forgot about him too.
Wiggo goes at 2.15pm BST
Hasn't really been working out for me either but hopefuly this will be the stage that shakes it all up.
My Team
Wiggins
Chavanel
Evans
Rogers
Bernaudeau
Gallopin
Grivko
Westra(high hopes for him today after Paris-Nice)
Kelderman(TT too long for Lukey Boy so I hope Wilco can top 20)
Just hope 'Der Panzerwagon' isn't on top form.
