Rosa to do another audition for his new role as yet another super domestique for Sky. Aru to launch an attack with Porte and Froome the only ones to respond. Attack to be late on again and time gaps too small to change key places.

Akabusi said:Hi, let me say hello first. I'm new to this site, and admit I likely have a scant k owl edge of the UCI tour compared to almost everyone here. but I ha e paid attention to it for a few years and enjoy the grand tours and well as the pro cycling manager games since about 2013.
As for tommorrow, I sometimes have a little bet, and last year won a nice return on my usual quid bet once and almost twice. My question is will the breakaway work. I think it should. My reasoning the teams with riders in the top ten gc will mark each other and stop any movement especially early on. But this is hard long term and they wo t want to blow out doing this all the time, rather choose tactically. With stages running out what about a team without a stage win persistently trying to get guys into a break away, and there are some who can make it work to the line. The odds are crazy high on non favourites as such I'm tempted to have a pop on a Frenchman to win in a breakaway...
My two candidates are Artur Vichot and Jeremy Roy...
What does everyone think, your ideas are more than welcome, thanks and enjoy the rest of the tour.

You mean this weather forecast that is predicting thunderstorms and rain ?

I would go with Alexis Vuillermoz. Those two have no chance.
Akabusi said:Thanks I'll look at that... In ref to the barb as well, what motive do Astana and Bmc et all, have i. Chasing breaks from people who are one to two hours down in the gc? Surely it's a waste of energy that plays into sky's hands as well as more savvy gc teams who don't.
