1 have 10 transfers left but annoyed I should have kept Felline as he did better than a lot of the guys I bought in. At least I had a bet on Kyrienka first thing that has gone right for me in the last fortnight. The question now is to gamble with Porte or give him the shove, because there is no opportunuity to make lots of swaps.

I have 4 left now after my ITT is picked. That means one set of changes and then the same team for the rest of the week. 1 transfer will be kept in reserve for a withdrawal.

Now comes the test of whether planning to use transfers early on in the Giro (because the ITT specialists and GC favorites are one in the same) will really work.

5th, 24th and now 8th on the stages I've been targeting. Still got 33 transfers left though. Have to take a more careful look at GC now to target tomorrow and nearly all the rest now.

1,2,11,13 for me. Nice with a more predictable day. Had to save on transfers, as I only have 21 left.

Purist is going a little better though, as I am 161 overall

Porte loses another 2 minutes!!

this is going to be interesting if the comms decide to stick to the 3km rule or be flexible as this was apparently less than 200m away from the 3km mark.

edit - Bert lost 30 secs and Aru is in Pink.... that's should make up their minds  4

35 changes left for me!
Prefer the sf stages for excitement, so transfer wise I ignore most of the other stages!
not good for overall contention though!

I'm running short on transfers, will be into single figures after tonight's wholesale changes. Having said that next week could only need a few.

I am down to single figures too. Made a complete pigs ear of this Giro. I will have to rethink tactics for the Tour, 45 transfers is not enough for me.

I've been similar to you Joel, poor start, surge this week, and actually a similar team today except I have tried to be slightly different with my sprinters. If its wet then anything could happen, fingers crossed my three are the ones that come through!

Contador/Aru/Landa
Betancur/Geschke/Villella
Nizzolo/Modolo/Ruffoni
