Giro Stage 13
Sprint day today? Maybe, maybe not, depends on who gets away and even if it is a sprint the last few stages have shown anything can happen in the last 1km so I've avoided being too sprinter heavy today.
Hesjedal dropped for Ferrari
Hunter dropped for Henao
leaving me with
Rodriguez
Cavendish
Ferrari
Henao
Tiralongo
Caruso
Golas
Rubiano
Pozzovivo
who've you gone for today? Do you reckon Goss will still be feeling the effects of Monday's crash?

Sprint placings:
1. Keizer (8pts),
2. Failli (6pts),
3. Cavendish (4pts),
4. Eisel (3pts),
5. Hunt (2pts),
6. Veikkanen (1pt)
Looks like Goss didn't even bother, I'm going to go out on a limb and say he'll be nowhere in the final sprint, just like Wednesday, and Vaitkus will be on sprint duties.
Went for
Cav
Goss
Henao
Hesjedal
Demare
Kristoff
Boaro
Pozzovivo
Bauer
Hopefully some decent points today,
I made 3 changes for today. And plan the reversal of them tonight
46 May 18, 01:54 Giovanni Visconti Jose Humberto Rujano
46 May 18, 01:54 Roberto Ferrari Sergio Luis Henao
46 May 18, 01:54 Mark Cavendish Ryder Hesjedal
Joaquin Rodriguez (KAT)
Mark Cavendish (SKY)
Roberto Ferrari (AND)
Giovanni Visconti (MOV)
Domenico Pozzovivo (COG)
Miguel Angel Rubiano (AND)
Paolo Tiralongo (AST)
Damiano Caruso (LIQ)
Jon Izagirre (EUS)
Beginning to regret not keeping Demare and Guardini in my team for today, the shorter stage should play into their hands more than the previous longer ones. No doubt they'll score fairly well today.
Order over the climb:
Failli
Keizer
Golas
Cavendish
J-Rod
Hesjedal
Ferrari
Guardini
Demare
Rubiano
Pozzovivo
Caruso
First time today that I didn't use maximum transfers. Ready for tomorrow but should be solid today. Cav-Ferrari sans Goss would be good
Yep, excellent news for me, I'm hoping for a Ferrari Cavendish 1-2 but will settle for both of them in the top 10... as long as Robbie Hunter doesn't win, that'd annoy me
Keizer might be a good bet for some last man home points when we reach the mountains.
A 2 man break could be good for Cav owners. He's been hoovering up any available intermediate sprint points so far, so a possible 4 points available today.
Good for me, I've got Cav and Keizer haha!
A two man breakaway, guess who... yes it's Martijn chuffing Keizer and Francesco Failli.
They have a few minutes on the peloton but I can't see just the pair of them staying away to the finish.
Cav
Hesjedal
Haedo
JRod
Chicchi
Caruso
Rubiano
Golas
Demare
4 sprinters for me today. I'm hoping for good results from Haedo & Chicchi in particular because they're less popular than some of the other sprinters.
I've brought Cav back in, and Belletti just to be different, as the rest of my team is full of very popular selections. Those two will go straight back out tomorrow for a GC contender and a climbing DS. I'm hoping there are enough teams with sprinters that they'll chase any breaks down (and its such a short stage).
Cav
Hesjedal
Basso
Henao
Pozzovivo
Caruso
Belletti
Felline
Samoilau
Ive gone goss as i couldnt afford Cav
Goss
J-Rod
Hesjedal
Haeno
Demare
Kristoff
Caruso
Pozzovivo
Huzarski
I'm hoping Goss is still suffering personally
I'd rather Ferrari win and Cav come second too as Cav and Goss will both be popular picks today.
I think I worked it out as a guaranteed 52 points today from my team assuming none of the classifications change. Hoping for something around the 90 mark.
goss
cav
ferrari
Intxausti
cataldo
caruso
demare
rubiano
tiralongo
Hoping that today is sprint day we all want. Wanna see cav and goss go all the way and keep the red jersey battle going till the final days ITT
