Nice open Tour by the look of things,

Potre best on paper at this stage but has a habit of loosing time when he shouldn’t.

Valverde I good form too – might light it up and make it interesting!

Hard to leave El Pistola off this list but too many guys i the mix!

@RobSandy

Pretty sure today IS a “rest day” given that they aren’t racing today, so the swap would be penalised 5 points as per usual! Isn’t that how it normally works?

I would think you are entitiled to swaps as well… a 5 points a swap.
