not quite sure you mean..........do you mean you can swap them for others ?
Greipel looks ok for tomorrow (stage 6).........it's the last sprinter stage for a while
then you wouldn't want him for 7,8 or 9
Bert Grabsch used to be a good time triallist (stage 9) but he's 37 now and his best days are behind him, probably ! You've got Cancelara, Wiggins who should go well in the time trial
Sagan could be suited by stage 8 which is up and down all day but no really huge climbs.........it should be hard enough to lose the sprinters before the finish. But it also looks a good chance for a breakaway to stay away all day.........someone like Voeckler ? if you can pick a new one. Trying to pick who might get away in a break is a pot luck job
stage 7 is a mountain top finish.........it's a fairly short final climb (9K) but it's pretty steep and as it's the first test for the yellow jersey contenders they'll probably all just watch each other and someone else will nip off and win the stage, but those GC contenders in your list should be thereabouts. Schleck is probably the main one you've missed out but you've got him in the Radioshack team
Anyone else have any views on those stages ?
