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?

Straight into the sun is perhaps an exaggeration, but at that time it would be about ESE, and there are bits of the road which head roughly SSE, so...

Nope, it's to keep your straps down and quieter. Plus most sunglasses are polycarbonate and aren't going to shatter like glass anyway

And, more seriously, where's the coverage of the closure of the cycle lane which forces you to cycle on the Totton bypass.

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.
Cheers Debarrio
I shouldn't have bothered taking Ferrari and Visconti and kept Henao and Hesjedal
I have 2, 6, 7, 10, 15 and 17. No idea where that will bring me...
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...
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?!
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...
i still have a sprinter heavy team. i got 1st, 3rd , 6th, 10th , 15th and 17th.
not too bad i guess
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.
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 ?
It was Dennis Vanendert, Not his brother
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!!
