Will Riblon be in the break tomorrow?
Will Riblon being in the break give any points to justify picking him?

Decisions, decisions

What about Perichon, he has already been in 3 breaks, surely he will go again?

Only one French rider on my roster for Bastille Day... hope I don't rue that decision.

I'm quite surprised that the parcours for stage 10 and 11 aren't the other way round, given todays date and that tomorrow is going to be 'massive break day'. Stage 11 today would have guaranteed a lot more French action and possible winner - there's zero chance of a breakaway making it or a French winner today. Maybe 11 is just considered too hard coming straight off the rest day.

M. Atkinson, avec tout le respect, je vous soumets que le droit équipe de cinq coureur demain va battre le pantalon large de toute autre équipe de plus de ce montant de coureurs. Que l'équipe ci-dessus sera l'équipe de le faire est en débat. Je ne me sens obligé cependant de dire que je crois que l'équipe présentée ci-dessus va battre plus de 70% de toutes les partitions demain. Je peux me tromper, je doute fortement que.

if you want to be in the top 30%, then maybe that's your strategy. it's probably a good pick. aiming for above 1,200th overall isn't really pulling up trees though, is it? and the game is won and lost on the difficult-to-call stages, not the summit finishes. we all know who's likely to be in the mix today.
