Stage 5 La Vuelta
Difficult day for some ahead, no wonder Cav hopped off yesterday if he wasn't feeling great because between the heat and the rolling hills its going to make a few jump off i think

An attack has just started as i write, with 48km gone, 25 riders are off in a break with 42 seconds, cant see that being allowed to stay out long

I think you'll find that you'll only go to jail if rich people are losing money from it.

Since when was 'split public opinion' any concern of the police? Unless it is the public's opinion of the police themselves.

fatcyclist, I hope you're right. Because I've opted for Degenkolb.
I don't know how others are faring but I've had some really big transfers to do ever since I completely stuffed myself by gearing my team entirely for the TTT. I wish that I had just taken a chance on the TTT and not changed my riders at all. Oh well, its getting more like I want it now.
I've gone with my game plan Talansky out Sivstov in.
and on form Moreno in.
If he wasn't in red I would have put in Chavanel, because ordinarily this is made for him.
Moreno and Montfort in, Sivtsov and Le Mevel out for the moment. It's a flat finish, but I think a break will get away on the climb. Possibly Kruisjwijk or Sagan in the break, but Sagan broke away today so maybe not.
Well i went for some fairly safe points over the next few days
IN:Daniel MORENO FERNANDEZ OUT:Ian STANNARD
IN:Joaquim RODRIGUEZ OUT:Bradley WIGGINS
I started with a team who "should" have done well in the TTT with 2 sky, 2 HTC then spread my bets with the rest looking towards stages 2,3 and 4 made a couple of transfers last night and it didn't lose or make me any points
Gkam, that sounds pretty similar to my strategy. I bought a team that in theory on paper should have done well in the TTT. However, the best laid plans of mice and men, I did complete and utter shite.
I have spent the past few days trying to mould my team back into winning shape. Anyhow, I'm currently 91st and that is a hell of a lot better at this stage than I was doing in the Tour or the Giro.
Never speak to soon, i was 60th overall yesterday and 40th the day before now 200ish
