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?

Not too bad 113 points for me
Goss and Ferrari transferred out. Keep cav for 5 sprint points and bring in another 2 climbers Sunday
Got 1, 2, 7, 10
with lots in hand for the climbs like j-rod and hesjedal and rubiano for tomorrow. . . but which other climbers to bring in??? Its not a hilltop finish so anyone who can climb ok and then finish might do well . . . such as Nibali . . . what is he doing in USA? So who to bring in . . . Scarponi will want to do well overall . . . but i think i'll go for an AR rather than a KM tomorrow for the win

I got 1,2,6,7 plus the usual gc, sprint points etc.
Not to bad as i've taken 20 penalty points for tomorrows stage with an extra transfer.
I know that! But since when is Dennis a sprinter? Before today his best finish this year was 45th...
Ah why did I take out Kristoff!!
According to steephill the profile for tommorrow is a cat 1 hilltop finish with the last 28kms uphill - you sure you looked at the right stage mate ?
i still have a sprinter heavy team. i got 1st, 3rd , 6th, 10th , 15th and 17th.
not too bad i guess
No, that would be ridiculous (although very nice). BTW what was Vanendert thinking? Probably wanted to see what a bunch sprint looks like up close...
It was Dennis Vanendert, Not his brother
Ha - had Kristoff since stage 2 and finally dropped him yesterday. Ah well, went into today with 2 sprinters and got 1st and 10th, so thats OK. Can't wait for tomorrow, but the first mountain stage is bound to see all the guys I think are in good shape getting dropped halfway up the last climb...
I have 2, 6, 7, 10, 15 and 17. No idea where that will bring me...
Big points, I'd wager - not many teams will have kept that many sprinters in. Surely you can't win a stage 2 days running?!
I shouldn't have bothered taking Ferrari and Visconti and kept Henao and Hesjedal
Cheers Debarrio
I've got JJ Haedo but it was Lucas Haedo who came 8th. Think the other one was up there anyway. Got 1st and 7th anyway.

Kinda hoping Ferrari was in there somewhere, because to get Cav and him in I had to take out Hesjedal losing me a few GC points
All of my sprinters made it into the top 20, but I was hoping for slightly more; 1st, 7th, 12th, 16th.
GKam, any idea where Ferrari finished up? The win +5 bonus points will suit me nicely, should be on for around 95 points plus whatever Ferrari gets me
15th
Well this Giro doesn't get any better for me!
It wasn't Guardini. It was Favilli
Cav
Kristoff
Renshaw
Modolo
Favilli
Goss
Demare
Haedo
Damn, Kristoff 2nd.
Cav takes the win!
Don't know the results but sounds like everyone who should have been there for the other sprint stages was there, so Demare, Guardini, Ferrari, Goss, Hunter, Haedo etc etc all there or thereabouts.
Cav wins after being boxed out
From the text commentary it seems you might be right, I can't see Greenedge doing as much work as they have done unless they though Goss was capable of winning.
Oh well, Cav is still up there, so is Ferrari, as long as they both finish well up there I'm happy.
I think Goss might give it a blast today and drop out tonight
