Paddy Power are excellent. Today for stage 3, Debusschere was 25/1 despite having not even started stage 1 on Sunday. So sensibly, he's out to 50/1 for tomorrow!

Tour de Pologne: ADDED Mateusz Taciak to CCC Polsat Polkowice roster

Damn, quite unbelievable no one had tried to add Taciak yet and found him 'grayed out'... I guess he had to be added 'cause he scored some points in the break today... wow...

Yep my fault, I hold my hands up, again it was another simple matter of when I ticked the box it hadn't ticked.

1,2,3,7 in standard and purist for stage 3, plus GC points (1st and 4th) in standard. Lobato again the let-down, but enjoying this week apart from that! Commentator seemed to think tomorrow's little hills might knock out some of the pure sprinters like Bos, but not sure if its worth taking them out - might have to look a bit closer at the profile than I normally would since I'm quite high up overall...

EDIT - having looked at the profile, it still looks fairly sprinty to me...
In fact - Oh. I've just realised something. Took me long enough...  3

Ah - just that it looks like the exact same stage as last year, as many will have already noticed. I watched that stage, and remember a little bit about the finish.

Doing scores now, sorry cause of being at work.

In hindsight should have took Modolo out, not Matthews, but nevermind, should do ok today.

This crowd really are all second rate sprinters. Even Mezgec is nowhere near.

Without Kittel, Cav, Sagan and Greipel's teams to bring the break back it's hopeless.

I don't know... Matthews is doing ok... I don't know why Swift isn't even trying... I haven't seen Modolo anywhere... Boassen Hagen was around 20th... Mezgec is usually pretty good... I get the impression no one of WorldTour status is motivated... except Matthews...

Its difficult, we don't know how injured people are from the various crashes yesterday, although obviously none of the top top guys are there (Mezgec and Matthews have won grand tour sprints in the last 12 months tho...) Another way of looking at it is you'd think it would be a great chance for some of the other sprinters to take a stage win, seems weird that only really AG2R were doing any chasing for large parts of today. Lots of teams have a sprinter or two that would fancy their chances in the absence of the big boys...

Unlucky Nick! You can take comfort in the fact that myself and Mr Ratcliffe both kept him in... Great ride though...

Have to resist making transfers myself - was intending to keep plenty for stage 5 but its really tempting to bring in Vallee for Bos or Lobato...
