I did notice you were properly gaming the game.
Like I said before, I prefer the set and forget one. But that’s probably just showing my laziness!

I wanted to put Cort in, but he’ll fade next week
I’ve jumped from 21st to 14th to 7th in consecutive days, so I fully expect to be topping the table after the next stage:roll_eyes:

So tomorrow. Chance for some punchy racing. Will the tightly packed GC riders let anyone get off up the road and steal Yellow? WvA would probably look to consolidate Green from tomorrow onwards?
WvA will probably be the best GC rider in Green (and all round rider) since Sean Kelly? I keep forgetting just how good Kelly was.

No.
WvA will want yellow until Stage 7.
When it’ll be handed over to Vin.
Stage 4
Punchy. Look out for the wind.
WvA, Philipsen, Pedersen (maybe Jakobsen)
No changes to GC.
Stage 5
FLATAF. 20km cobbles.
Our intrepid cyclocross trio:
WvA, MvdP, Pidcock.
GC will be more worried about not coming off.
Stage 6
220km longest stage, lumpy, uphill finish.
Breakaway day.
Pidcock, Cort, Hirschi.
Stage 7
Planches des Belles Filles SUPER!
Last KM unpaved at 9.5%
Fairly pedestrian run in to the final climb.
Unsure. Either a breakaway damp squib of a day, or another boring controlled GC day.
This’ll be day WvA relinquishes the yellow jersey to Vingegaard.
Breakaway I’d be looking at Ciccone, Pinot, Bardet.
But really, it’s too close to the start to be letting people off down the road with an unknown time advantage.
So I reckon it’ll be kept on a tight leash by the main peloton. Few minutes at most, if any.
If it’s a GC battle, I’d say the majority will keep their powder dry and it’ll be;
Vingegaard and Yates, with perhaps Vlasov?
So…basically…you’ve got to look a few days in front to see what’s gonna happen tomorrow 
Or at least to get the team selection. Right.

I’ve got this horrible feeling that you’re right about Jumbo taking the Maillot Jaune on Stage 7.
If they do, i fear it will be their downfall like 2020.
Can’t wait to see the KoM battle commence this week.

Which is why I reckon Vin will take it.
Then his naivety will come in and surrender it to Rog.
Leaving Pog to attack. Which he can do. Without a team.

VdP the next two days.
That’s what I’m telling my Fantasy team by refusing to sign WvA.

He looked good on Sunday.

Veered between Gronenwegen and Pedersen for road captain, odds I have picked the wrong one are even I would guess!

Why do they have Caleb Ewan so high?
He cannot get over anything other than a kerb, today’s “hills” are going to destroy him.
At those odds, the value appears to be with MvdP and Groenewegen.
No idea. Even if he gets over the lumps he hasn’t got a train to follow, only hope is surfing the wheels and he’s not shown any promise on that front so far

I thought he would be dominating sprints for for years, hasn’t developed the way i thought he would.
Danny v P interviewed just before the start. Not someone I would normally consider but interesting odds.
And they’re off!
Coupe of the preview sites going with Philpsen as a fave today.

I have Philipsen; but went for WvA. I have trouble seeing the pure sprinters being there at the line today.

I have Philipsen and went for MVP

Yeah, I have both ‘vans’ and Philipsen, imagine my dilemma 
This is a good stage for the Classics riders.
