Tour de France - Stage 18, Gap > Alpe-d’Huez

Massive day ahead and I've got the rest of the week off work so I'll be glued to the TV tomorrow afternoon 4

Having major problems picking my team.  Got a few riders I want to pick but can only afford a selection of them.

Contador and Kreuziger are on the up, could they threaten Froome and try to put a chunk of time into him tomorrow?  If so, which is the preferred rider?  Contador should be the team leader but he's still not earning any World Tour points after his ban so are the team better off supporting Kreuziger?

Mollema and Ten Dam just seem to be trying to hold on.  Can they do anything else now?

Quintana seems to have the white jersey wrapped up, does he think he can win yellow or will he settle for a stage win?  Can Kwiatkowski do anything during the last week to catch the Columbian revelation?

Rolland has come out and written off his chances of winning the polka dot jersey.  Is he bluffing?  If not, which of the last stages will he target for a stage win?

I have no answers and no idea who'll be in my team tomorrow 39

Looks like I have one particular rider that nobody else does. Will be interesting to see if it pays off.

Mine is Rodriguez so far, I'm sure lots of people will actually have him, but maybe not as many as I expected...

Can't afford Rolland, hopefully be a blessing! Should be an interesting stage

I've risked Rolland today, which could backfire. However, I've resolved to hold my nerve and NOT make any more transfers, barring big-name withdrawals, until sprint o'clock.

Desperately hoping for Rogers to climb into the overall top ten. If he does, I'll win £140! So not cursing him by picking him for my fantasy team...

Fancy Wout Poels for the break today but couldn't squeeze him in due to my fixation on bringing in J-Rod...

Froome
Rodriguez
Quintana
Nieve
Schleck
Gadret
Le Mevel
El Fares
Mederel

FROOME
QUINTANA
KREUZIGER
NIEVE
NAVARRO
SCHLECK
ZUBELDIA
GADRET
FISCHER

Rolland did say he thought it was out of reach, but double points the second time over Alpe would get him right back there.

Tomorrow will be a day to pick break guys. A break will win 26
