Expecting echelons now.
No Bouhanni or Sagan, too expensive. Probably a big mistake.

He did, so I had a quick £1 E/W on Gatto at 200/1.
I've gone Sagan & Degenkolb. Sagan's in for the next three stages.
Sagan said that he is training for worlds and will be working for Gatto in the sprints

Noone gone for Sagan today then?
As you said at the top of the thread, he's too expensive

Think I was a bit over-exuberant with my transfers - I should have made one fewer and kept Boonen or Maes - they are experts in the echelons.

Starting from minus 30, so very dubious about my tactics - I always start Grand Tours badly and then move up in the mountains, so thought I'd try something different in an effort to keep pace early on...
No changes from yesterday. Will assess after today's stage.
Hope it's a Belgian kind of day 
I hope that the Trek riders aren't too sore
