The biggest problem picking my teams is that I want to pick Adam Yates but don't have a spare spot, far too many options at that kind of price and Orica have a few guys I want in my team.

Same here Dr.

Son of a.... 14

Agnoli is in both my teams, drafted him into my Purist team this morning before the news came out he'd been replaced in the Astana team.

Sodding pro-teams, don't they know how many people they affect with last minute changes 20

It was pretty widely publicised on twitter.....but only in the 2 hours preceding deadline I think.......I actually considered bringing Jakob in but t-o-o-o dear at 24.2 when you can get Sammy,Navarro or Barguil for less than 20.....wouldn't be surprised if he top 10's in GC though without setting the world alight fantasy wise.

Yeah, unfortunately I was working from 9 this morning so wasn't able to keep an eye on the latest developments.

Oh well, I'm sure this won't be the only time it happens this year.

I don't know where the offcial site is posting it but PCS is reporting a Srint classification for Catalunya:

By the looks of it I'd say they're only counting Intermediate sprints...

The information on the official site pre-race was very patchy. It turns out they're running two separate intermediate sprint competitions and I'm scoring the main one based on the usual scoring format.
