Giro d'Italia - Stage 3
There looks like a mighty 25 man break has got away
We are waiting for confirmation of all the riders in the group but it seems that Diego Ulissi (Lampre-Merida), Jesus Herrada (Movistar), Marcus Burghardt (BMC), Davide Vilella (Cannondale), Manuele Boaro (Tinkoff-Saxo), Philippe Gilbert (BMC) and Esteban Chaves (Orica-GreenEdge) This could stay away

I just cant seem to read the profiles at the mo. Left in my sprinters for yesterday and it got me nowhere. Mind you in the TofC i picked the 1,2,3 but missed the deadline by about 10 mins, didnt realise and i've now got to change them all again for todays stage
Gilbert scored epic points on that stage. Wonder if he'll do it again on Stage 4...
i realised that when i made my post
Give it a chance, it's still updating. Scores first, Leagues are next, badges last from what I've seen.

Had Matthews for the stage but the Puncheur badge isn't showing on my dashboard
Although neither are the league positions, so maybe i'm jumping the gun and should of waited
FTFY
Podium plus Gerrans team mate and GC points. Happy with that today.
1,2,6 for me

Bugger this race already i give up.
Just 1 and 8 for me
Going for stage wins now ???
Id keep those sprinters for stage 4.
You reckon?
Well just made my 5th and 6th transfers, brought in Aru and Gilbert for Mezgec and Meersman.
So my team looks like this kind of mess: but in theory wont make a transfer now for abit, and then go for stages in the 2nd week, as ive messed it up by not being able to call this first week
Matthews
Viviani
Hofland
Battaglin
Caruso
Gilbert
Aru
Clarke
Tosatto
1&2 in standard and purist. Happy with that.

Non life threatening.
Italian TV reporting that he is breathing
bugger. this crash looks bad for Pozzovivo
he's moving, thankfully.
Dam, Pozzovivo not looking good! Hope he's ok! Was defo unconscious!
"The peloton has crested the summit. Fast riders Bole, Matthews, Slagter and Felline were all there"
20 seconds off the break remnants. Reduced sprint coming up.
Magic. I've got three in the breakaway but then it is a relatively large group.
My team for today
MICHAEL MATTHEWS (OGE)
GIANNI MEERSMAN (EQS
SACHA MODOLO (LAM)
ANDRE GREIPEL (LTS)
JUAN JOSE LOBATO (MOV)
GREGA BOLE (CCC)
FABIO FELLINE (TFR)
LUCA CHIRICO (BAR)
SIMONE STORTONI (AND)
Not going to be a sprint today. Big climb still to come.
Got this all wrong as hofland and mezgec both been dropped. Need a caruso and battaglin 1.2, wasting transfers like god knows what already
Greipel and Mezgec have been dropped, I suspect others too
Sprinters who've reportedly gone off the back
Greipel
Hofland
Mezgec
Boonen
the Saxy tinkers have brought this back to under a minute, either someone needs to hit the gas or this is all coming back.
