Vuelta stage 1

All tinkering done, not going to touch it again until after the stage. Promise.

It was a tricky pick this one so as not to have to make a million changes this week.

Suffice it to say I've got 3 Europcar, 3 MTN and 3 Caja Rural riders in for the TTT.

I did OK, only my Sky rider didn't score and had 2 Movistar inclusing Castroviejo. 30 pens for tomorrow was always the plan, could be a disaster if the wind blows...

That is because there are lots of players who only play the grand tours....

So it takes longer, plus all the new leagues.

Damn, I don't know why I get the feeling with that 'laughing' smiley that you are 'mocking', 'making fun of', if you will, all of us who can't 'access the game at any point'...  45 It's at times like this where I believe you act in a 'holier than thou' attitude towards the 'guests' in this game and I don't agree with your behavior...  45

Disaster. Taking two penalty points for tomorrow.

Given the unpredictability of TTTs, especially on a short course with tiny time gaps, I should've just picked for tomorrow. I'd have probably done better AND wouldn't have had to take the penalty hit - in fact I've had two in the bank.

Will be hard to recover from this - I started well in both the Giro and the Tour, and was able to save transfers. Not this time...

This does not look like the team of a man who's 'disinterested in men's pro cycling'...  39 This looks like someone who's in it to win it...  41 Except for Betancur, unless you're banking on lots of Lantern Rouge points...  45 By the way, just read this http://www.mail.com/int/news/uk/3057428-debaters-hope-to-sway-undecided-... and thought of you...  1
