Vuelta Stage 16

Wow 6th on stage but no top ten badge

6 transfers burning a hole in my pocket. What to do.

Did ok to be honest, took the risk with Hesjedal, but didn't really loose much, back up to 4th, but 70 points now behind Enrique, but only 10 off 3rd

Nothing saved in transfers for tomorrow though

1,2,5,6,12 + lulu + mas

1,2,5,7,9,12 +lulu

I should've had a good day today.

Got rid of Valverde and two cheap ones for Hesjedal Cunego and G Caruso. Cunego in the break but not sure if he got any points. Hesjedal and Martin still in the top group, not sure where Caruso is. Maybe a mistake!

Worse than footballers! Although maybe a better punch

Brambilla chucked out!

Coming down. It was 8 1/2 mins, now just over 5 mins.

Uran looking shabby.

Well, I hope that break sticks... I've got three guys up there... besides, I'm a Poels fan and a victory here might just dissuade him from signing with Sky, God forbid... but if may well be too late for that

Aru and Lulu in for Uran and Anacona

J-Rod
Froome
Contador
Samu
Lulu
Mas
Fumeauz
Kudus

7 transfers available for tomorrow for the sprint so will be looking for a top 3 stage finish in FS league

Had I gone all or nothing on Saturday I'd have won the stage, so no compromise this time. Solely going for stage win rather than overall, so 90% chance of a poor day.

After I picked Kangert, every preview I've read seems to be suggesting Landa will be going for this stage, presumably he's local but I don't know. Ho hum...

Contador
Rodriguez
Aru
Hesjedal
Kangert
