TDF - Stage 19
Let's have a sweepstake - how many times will Phil 'n' Paul use the expression 'a sting in the tail' to describe today's stage?
I've put all my eggs in two baskets today; my big potential mistakes will be to have left out Degenkolb and GVA, both of whom will fancy this. I just hope my guys fancy it more!
BTW, I think the budget has been perfect for this tour

Years from now, no one is going to remember Giovanni Visconti's 2014 Tour de France, but he sure has racked up some points.
Why are we still 'updating the game'?...
It needed updating again
Kittel should have 1 point, not 0
Don't think I will end up too bad today with 3,4,16,18 + Taaramae, along with Kittel and Coquard, Peraud and Nibs. Another full house I guess.
Brought in Sagan and Coquard, both of whom went down in the crash - best plced for me was Visconti
2,3,12
Continuing my streak of betting and ruining their chances my money was on Sagan today. Oops!
Hooray, Gerrard 13 sprint points.
Missed the deadline, ha ha but was only going to put in Sagan.
Fancy bakelants, Kristoff, van avermaet, albasini and geraint thomas.
fortunatley I still have 12 transfers after making 8 changes today.
Nibalia
Kristoff
Sagan
Trentin
Degenkolb
Leezer
Pichot
Bideau
Gerard
The sprinters are so expensive compared to the climbers of the last few days, got 4 fillers in today!
Sprint for me too....plus a little prep for the ITT as I have 5 transfers
Coquard,Kristoff,Renshaw,Roy,Bauer in joining Nibs,Peraud,Pinot,Bardet
Schlck,Konig,Majka,Nieve,TenDam out
I made 3 changes and have gone for the stronger climbing sprinters ie Sagan, Coquard and Benatti. No idea why.
Gone for a sprint
Kristoff, Kittell, Coqurad and Renshaw in (maybe I should have looked closer at the profile but didn't really have the time)
No sprinters for me, just taking the GC points and concentrating on the last 2 stages. A nice random breakaway going all the way would be nice...
Didn't really want to take pens so 2 transfers dropping tommy v and ten dam for Renshaw and feillu. Kept my GC guys
