had wva all the way until just before the start. was gonna rock 3 sprinter/classics guys with the sagan/mvdp/wout ghidorah tribute but it left me woefully exposed in the mtns.
came down to wout and quinn simmons vs jakobsen and bardet in the final analysis. was projecting wout to finish with approx 2600 points and maybe 400 for simmons.
was thinking approx 3000 points as well between jakobsen/bardet but w/o the smoke and mirrors jv/wout will he/won't he/knee bs. also blew off yatesie for consideration for pre-tour
news/gossip. prob shoulda gone with the wout/sagan/mvdp trifecta but bardet looked great in the giro and thinking he could finish 3rd or 4th and jakobsen may seriously push wout/sagan for the green
jersey. wout is burning the candle at both ends and remains to be seen if he can get away with it until the end of the race. he's young and talented enuff so probably.

da cobbles loom...how many crash outs/abandons tomorrow?
