You can't do around getting rid of grass verges. They provide much needed parking space.

Echelons then ....oh well I can't call that when it's the other side of the world c'est la vie
Full house. That was a nice surprise. Well done axel.
163 pts......95th on stage....12th overall....1st in London
...1st in Forum's Scorum's
Wake Me Up please someone!!
One decision to make for Willunga.......Kittel and Greipel obviously come out for Evans and either Porte or Gesink.......decisions,decisions
142 in the end, not too bad. Brought in three more GC-ish chaps for Old Willunga Hill, including a bit of a punt on Geraint Thomas.
Still have two transfers banked so will have four for the sprinty stage the day after. I'm in the high 300s on the overall, so hoping for two big stages now to push into the top hundred.
Took a 10 point penalty to get Kittel in and he did nowt. Ended up with 93 points and red arrows across the board
Any idea about KOM/intermediate points? Think Hansen is still leading KOM.
1, 4, 5, 11, 13, 15 + top 5gc
wow 7th on stage!!! <:p
and a forum's scorum's stage win!!
Double wow!!!
My three were Kittel
,Haas 
,Greipel 
in for Gesink,Dennis and Evans got me a 38 point profit(I think?).
looks like about 162 points for me
Another stage that went horribly wrong! Making no transfers rather than the 4 I made would have been better!
Just seen the above results I take it there was a crash as they aren't the ppl I'd expect to see on a sprinters stage
Wind!

Made two transfers for stage 3, those two were Gavezzi and Geschke. That worked well. Took penalty points to get them and Moreno out and both Kittel and another sprinter in. But penalty points used to bring in Haas (so as to afford Kittel) so I hope GC does not change.
Couldn't decide on second cheap sprinter so asked non-cycling family in house to choose out of Renshaw, Goss and Von Hoff purely on name alone. I think you can guess how that resulted.
Steele Von Hoff?
made 2 changes of no real significance as far as the stage is concerned, but will hopefully pick up a few points here and there to mantain my slow climb from the lower depths of the leagues
