Im not too sure about mine now, people talking about reduced sprints, oh the joys!

Already had Navardauskas(I hope you mean him and not Navarro 3 )

Sagan and Terpstra in for Cavendish and Kristoff

Sagan
Terpstra
Gerrans
S.DuMoulin
Gasparotto
Kittel
Navardauskas
Hoogerland
Fischer

Worried about the VanPoppel's today(sounds like the after effects of a dodgy curry) and was tempted by Millar with the TTT in mind but sticking to the plan.

Gerro for the win please 16

Sagan's injuries from what I read last night are superficial if fairly extensive, but I've rued not bringing him in before when I thought he was too injured to win. The next two stages suit him so I'm bringing him in along with Degenkolb for Cav and Bouhanni. Left in Kittel and may leave him there for a while for the table points. Was originally going to have Gallopin as he was a bit cheaper but he came in 194th so I haven't gone for him although he says he is ok as well.

Cav and Bouhanni out for me. Think I have a strong team for today, but after yesterday 39 At least Dumoulin and Hivert who I have for today were ok yesterday. Kept Greipel as the sprint is early, and Kittel as he will still be top 5 in points whatever happens I think. Also didn't want penalty points

They must really be targetting the TTT then with a view to taking yellow there......and why not with Chava,Kwia and Panzerwagon on board.

After alot of hovering over the confirm button i've got rid of Bouhanni too and taken a 10 point penalty.

Taken a punt on a rider who should be all over this stage in his multi-coloured jersey..... 26

I like the sound of Phil Gil too but quietly confident for Gerro....especially after all the talk of a 'Poggio-like'descent just before the finale.

It's also the sort of stage that I would normally go for Cunego but he's let me down too many times this season and I preferred Terpstra for his TTT chances down the line.

Not willing to incur the penalty points this early; barring a bit of good luck in breaks my Tour begins in Nice.

Two changes made, as per the plan. Sagan FTW.

According to the Team Sky site Thomas is fine.

Got rid of Cav plus 2 more and took a ten pointer already 20

Cant find anything anywhere about Sagan's injuries, if any, so kept him in for today.

Not sure about him starting after concussion, not good. Most sports would give an automatic period of no competition. Hope he stays safe today.
