1, 5, 6, 15 plus IM and table points. EBH a bit of a disappointment but he got baulked as he tried to move up. Wonder if Sagan will get combativity today?
Just Sagan for me, expected to drop down a bit but could be worse than I thought looking at the guys who made the top 10. Never mind - balances out an unexpectedly good day yesterday and now to decide on my 5 changes for tomorrow...
I make it 78 for me, Kwiatkowski, Gerrans and Chavanel have kept me afloat with some handy points and I have 6 transfers for tomorrow so I'm not too unhappy but I'm way behind in the overall and only going to fall further after today.
They keep talking about Cimolai but it's Mori (147) (9th) from Lampre!
Gallopin finally earns some points for my 3 Frenchman but I was hoping for a lot more this week. Probably he and Degenkolb have recovered from early crashes now.
1, 4, 15 for me, plus a few Rolland and Kittel points.
Bakelants got combativity I think.
Think Tom Veelers got stage LR.
Nope Cimolai rolled in last.
Wow, points bonanza from Sagan. 56!
Finally clawed my way into the top 1,000 for this competition...
up to 12th
got 5 in the bag for the weekend but who to pick?!
Will Froome want the yellow early? Who will be Movistar's leader? Will Saxo dominate?
Too many options!!!
So my sticking paid off as I now have 6 transfers, and I moved up more today than what I lost yesterday, just abit gutted I brought in De Gendt rather than who im brining in for tomorrow
Then damn him again!
Just Sagan and gerrans for me today bad day still 5 transfers for tomorrow
Damn damn damn you Davide Cimolai! I kept faith in you for so long but you gave me NOTHING! And now you go and bag fourth after I transfer you out. Bah.
EDIT: apparently Kwia in fourth, who is in my squad. I take it back (a bit).
One four five plus Impey
please dont tell me millar is going to do something today?? after 3 days of nothing!
Can't figure from following on Twitter and the Tour website whether Kristoff is in the grupetto. Sort of hoping he is, much as I like him, seeing as I swapped him out for Rolland.
Looking forward to some green arrows tonight after 3 days of red, but anyone with Sagan, Gerrans and Rojas will be ok. Me and TERatcliffe will be the main ones to benefit in the forum although I'm sure Wig-billy will do ok as usual.
Balls, should have brought in Sagan.
The only upside is that to bring in Sagan (for Greipel) I'd have had to drop another rider to free up credits and probably would have gone for Gerrans so I'm not too many points down on where I could have been.
Fingers crossed for a Gerrans win but I have to say, Sagan and Cannondale look strong.
luckily i've still got EBH, JJ Rojas and Impey so shouldn't be a total bust for me having Griepel, Kittel and D V Poppel Out the back.....
Bit bummed that JJ oroz couldn't have gone on the escape with jensie and picked me up some points
Can't see Bakelite taking this, Cannondale are just looking insanely strong driving on the peloton. Nice try, but they're going to be reeled in, I think.
Lotto and Omega have eased up!
Sprinters given up. Orica chasing the break now.
26 points in the bag! More to come I hope. If Gavazzi and Rojas do well could catch up a bit, especially if people have been tempted to keep their sprint team and save transfers.
Bakelandts gone again! He said he'd targetted this stage originally, not 2. Got a different EUS but I hope he'll do something this weekend. Now Orica and Cannondale will work till the end. Maybe they just want mountain points.
Cannondale gunned it to the first sprint and Sagan took full points:
1. Sagan (CAN) 15pts
2. Flecha (VCD) 14pts
3. Sabatini (CAN) 13pts
4. Clarke (OGE) 12pts
5. Gerrans (OGE) 11pts
6. Impey (OGE) 10pts
7. De Marchi (CAN) 9pts
8. Albasini (OGE) 8pts
9. Marangoni (CAN) 7pts
10. Moser (CAN) 6pts
11. Koren (CAN) 5pts
12. Bodnar (CAN) 4pts
13. Siutsou (SKY) 3pts
14. Porte (SKY) 2pts
15. Kennaugh (SKY) 1pt
Cannondale still pushing hard, Sagan clearly wants the win today and doesn't want any true sprinters getting back into the peloton.
That being said, Impey/Gerrans are still up there and could scupper Cannondale's plans.
Gone for the ARs today. EBH had better win or come second to make up for his pathetic sprint yesterday!!
Sprint group 2' 30" roughly. Don't think they'll get back in as there are a couple more climbs yet. Hoped this would happen.
Sagan
EBH
Gerrans
Gavazzi
Rojas
El Fares
are the ones who might score today.
Brought in Rolland today, thinking he might want to cement his early KoM lead... he'll need to get himself over these last two climbs first now, otherwise I'll have wasted my transfers (took Kristoff out for him).
Still think we'll see a late dig from Chava/Kwia today to grab race lead, it's OPQS's last chance to wear yellow this Tour. Other option would be a Cannondale shutdown for a Sagan win.
Scratch that, the Cav and Greipel groups are now together, 3 minutes down on the Sagan group.
Greipel and Kittel 1 minute down on Cannondale peloton, Cav another 1 minute behind them.
In the fantasy pontoon stakes.....I stuck , was tempted to take cav out after his tumble yesterday but apparently no ill affects so if it ain't broke and all that
