Should Viviani not get 11 points for finishing 10th, plus 3 for points classification?
I also thought he won the intermediate for an extra 6.

11 + 3 + 6 = 20, yet he only scored me 11. Am I missing something?

Swift should have 6 for 15th place, plus 1 for PC; he only has 6...

Far too conservative, 80 points, just crept into the top 1400.

Do have 5 transfers for tomorrow though

I missed the deadline for transfers yesterday so had a team full of sprinters - be interesting to see if it makes up for lost ground. 1,3,4,5,10,12 & 15 and enough transfers for tomorrow to change the entire team without penalty!

Chicchi 12th
Swift 15th. Less points than yesterday!

So 1, 4, 5, 12, 15, 19.

Bol last at the moment.

My transfers worked. Bouhanni wins, Ferrari 5th. They were the best I could afford. Swift about 11th/12th or so just behind Viviani.

I learnt a lesson yesterday. Don't pick your team for the next stage until the current one is over. I had Rodriguez in for today so had to incur a penalty to move him out again.

Still, it's just bloody game as my heart goes out to him and all those guys ripped up on the road yesyerday.

Still thinking bunch sprint today. Viviani will be after his first Giro stage win and there won't be many better opportunities than today to get it.

Break down to under six mins, eminently reel-in-able.

Swift may not be a great pick today, apparently he fainted in the shower yesterday from the pain of his injuries:

Break now has 8 minutes...

Anacona (Lampre)
Herrada (Movistar)
Boem (Bardiani)
Chalapud (Colombia)
Thurau (Europcar)

Actually, they're now saying its Haas in the break and not Herrada...

Not seen the results of the first KOM yet, but I think they went clear before the summit.

Hanson tried to get in a break but all back together for the first climb of the day. Whose after mountain points? Come on Tjallingi!

Swift has a sore bum so he may still do all right. Had him already so keeping him. Brought in Bouhanni and Ferrari. Already got Chicchi. Matthews might want to stay in pink another day and the other sprinters are battling for the red jersey, Bouhanni only needs to gain 4 points on Viviani to get it. Doubt if a break will go today, next week more likely. Still got enough transfers for tomorrow. Might need to take 1 pen to have 8 climbers.

Brought in Viviani as if the breakaway succeeds today then he would still sprint for the points. No other changes

Yeah, I think this stage may be a little fallow. Brought a couple of sprinters in nonetheless and have gambled on leaving Swift in. Saved a couple of transfers for the lumps tomorrow.
