Changes made. Gone ever so slightly left field in an attempt to make up lost ground. Hoping my under the radar man will start to show over the next few stages too.

He was unlucky yesterday, he got a mechanical and fell back and tried his hardest to get back on. This was inside the last 15km so they were going at a serious rate by then. Kittel will be there or thereabouts today, imo.

Kittel is a pain in the xxxx
I've dropped out Tommy V for the minute and bought in a couple of sprinters for today.
I know, but surely NSC is for making uneducated sweeping statements that you'll no doubt go back on in the blink of an eye. It's his last chance to get anything from the race today, so I'm expecting Argos all over the front with 3km to go. I still can't see anyone getting past Bouhanni though, and Viviani's late kick yesterday was impressive too.

For sure, especially with it being slightly uphill I think it is Bouhanni's to lose, Viviani never does well two stages in a row but I still have him.

He wouldn't be if I had him in my team.

Pretty much guaranteed, the useless piece of shit that he is.Excellent - a Kittel win it is!

4k uphill to the finish so doubt Kittel will be there (famous last words).

Last 5km profile:
Only 5-4 and last km uphill and none of it even slightly steep. Getting my calculator out that means last km is less than 3% gradient, km5-4 look about the same, surely he can get over that!

Gutted for Bouhanni. Out as a result of a very nasty crash

Just said it's a block head wind, at the finish.
Out with Jnr for his first spin of the year, in a minute so probably won't catch the end of this one.

Bugger! Hope he's ok - didn't see it as I've only just started watching. Fantasy-wise he was getting dropped tonight anyway though!
Who's the Aussie commentator I'm currently listening too?
Vivianni (sp) leader on the road.

Just seen finish line approach. Hats off to Kittel if he pulls this one off.

As I said, Kittel is a shoo in! And I took out dumoulin!
