Giro stage 16

Looks like it may be cancelled on the Stelvio as it's snowing heavily. A shorter route planned with much less climbing and lower category mountains ie no Cima Coppi. Hope you haven't changed your team yet!

I put in Wellens and Monsalve hoping they might take the fight to Arredondo - waste of 2 transfers  102

If I'd not made any transfers, I would have been 4 transfers and about 50 points better off. Bugger.

Enrico Barbin last man home, bags me ten points and nudges me over the line for the 200 stage points badge!  36

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Scarponi? He's listed as DNF and I didn't see the stage at all in the end; was there a crash or has he simply retired?

And Swift coming in 25th?! I know we breed 'em tough in Yorkshire but that's not half a bad effort for a lad who's a sort of punchy rouleur. Ahead of Niemiec, Roche, Cunego etc.

No strategy now. I'm as cooked as Evans. Looking forward to the Dauphine.

I'm surprised more people haven't picked Ulissi, he is 2nd on the KOM classification and finished the last stage 16 mins down, obviously taking it easy. Or he has given up!

I wonder which one it is...  39 Did you see where he finished today?... Wow...

Maybe you should bring him back for one of the breakaways on Stages 18 or 20...

It's infuriating. I dropped Wilko for him, lost 27 points and missed out on my 200point badge. That's the only one, apart from the 2K badge which I should get today, which I'm missing and likely to get this comp. I really can't see me getting any of the top row.
