Vuelta Stage 14

Stage 14 today?

I bought in Moncoutie(maximum 23 fantasy mountain + 12 fantasy sprint pts available today if someone went 1st over all checkpoints),Capecchi(just a hunch)and Sarmiento(breakawayss)for Viviani,Degenkolb and Bouhanni.

Contador
Capecchi
Rodriguez
Moncoutie
Cesar
DeLaFuente
Sarmiento
Talansky
Marczynski

1 transfer banked....although I considered Mate for DeLaFuente.

Contador
Rodriguez
Valverde
Henao
Piedra (been in since start, can't shift him)
Talansky
Anacona
Nocentini
Marcynzki

Hoping for a very good stage

Rodriguez
Contador
Froome
Viviani
Talansky
Meersman
Bouhanni
Quintana
Marczynski

Only had two transfers but still considered an overhaul with some penalty transfers getting rid of Bouhanni, Meersman and Viviani but played it safe.

Rcorbin, had Bouhanni not abandonded that is how my team would have looked with bouhanni instead of Piedra. so couldnt get Heano in today, but will for tomorrow

Noted Silas and amended, think i must have just lost the plot this morning

I hope I can continue with the turnaround in form yesterday getting 18th on the stage and up to 330th overall and 128th premium,which shows you the level of mediocrity so far!!

Roche(for Degenkolb
DeGendt
Contador
Froome
Clarke
Talansky
Astarloza
Aramendia(for Terpstra)
?????(for Bodnar)-could be any of Anacona,Mate,Txurruka or Machado

Jrod
Contador
Roche
Ten dam
Jmoreno
Cardoso
Florencio
Astraloza
Talansky

wanted tiralongo but at 11.2 could't get him in!Will see what Talansky does today?

I had to drop Bouhanni too. Was hoping to leave him in as he's a shoe in for last place. Didn't realise we had such similar teams

Why has the transfer window closed? I thought the deadline was 12:20.

It's showing 55mins to go on mine - it's only 11:25?

Are my time settings different to everybody else? Look at the time I posted this message...

weird. still open on mine and it really is 12:38 here... you appear to be in your very own time zone

You're not the only one - livestrongnick seems to show the same, and, come to that, the timestamp on my last was a minute or so different from my local machine time so it's presumably using server time not local time.

Local time shouldn't affect the server anyway which I would assume sets the transfer deadline. I wonder if one of the game and/or forum servers has the wrong time/timezone?

Living in the future is quite cool, but is there a way to fix this so I can make my transfers for today?

I'm way off the pace so have two of the top guys and seven for a potential breakaway. Could be a disastrous day, or could be quite fun - we'll see...

Valverde
Rodriguez
De Gendt
Moncoutie
Bouet
Machado
Astarloza
Sarmiento
De La Fuente

Make or break for Froome today - he looks tired to me but I hope there's something left...

I know Doctor Who starts tonight but that's ridiculoos!!

Wig-Billy the new Timelord?

Perhaps he could let us know who's in the break?

I'm just going to post my transfers here and hope it can be fixed later.

Degenkolb -> Moncoutie
Viviani -> Jeannesson
Meersman -> De La Fuente

Leaving me with;

J-Rod
Contador
Moncoutie
Jeannesson
Marczynski
Talansky
R.Kreder
De La Fuente
Bouhanni

BTW, those 3 definitely won't be in the break...

Alberto Contador
Christopher Froome
Joaquin Rodriguez
Laurens ten Dam
Winner Andrew Anacona (for Moreno)
Xavier Florencio (for Bouhanni)
Andre Cardoso
Rémi Pauriol
Mikel Astarloza

Only used 2 transfers. So still rolling 2 every day until I need them

Ben GASTAUER
Blel KADRI
Adrian PALOMARES VILLAPLANA
Alessandro BALLAN
David MONCOUTIE
Rudy MOLARD
Amets TXURRUKA
Alberto LOSADA ALGUACIL
Maciej PATERSKI

Any chance you could nip to the end of the race and let us know the results when you come back

There seems to be a few of us out of sync

Looks like Moncoutie does want to go out on a fifth consecutive Vuelta KOM.......good man

I could certainly do with him gobbling up all the points

Thank you roadcc for setting up this game, although I only joined late I am enjoying playing very much. I will fully admit I am totally rubbish at it however I am learning. I am really looking forward to competing for a full season.
Yesterday was not a good stage for me 45points and like many I had Bouhanni who was a lucky pick for me when I started.
Today it is looking better.
Today's team for me is as follows
Christopher Froome
Joaquin Rodriguez
Alejandro Valverde
Nicolas Roche
Mikel Astarloza
Javier Moreno
Aitor Galdos
Simon Clarke
Andrew Talansky

God damn Simon Clarke if he gets more points today my purist team could be in trouble.

Spain vs anyone who wants a challenge!!

J-Rod
Contador
Velverde
Moreno
Froome
Talansky
Anton
Ten Dam
Marczynski
Roche
Verdugo
Niemiec
Majka
Gesink
De Clercq
Uran
Henao
Tiralongo
Monfort
Capecchi

He'll have scored 18 today plus 5 for leading the KoM so 23 all together

1,2,6,8,10,+ bonus looking at 150ish
Who ever has 1 or more of
clarke/moncoutie/pauwels
should have the stage win i feel

Scoring
1,2,5,8 +5 then 1,2,3 GC 1,4,5 points 3,4 KoM

My none scorers today not doing to bad so far
21,24,31

1,3,5,6,8 + clarke...looking good

Right it say's you've just posted JAndrew. On my screen it says 18.21

Just testing to see what mine will come up with because I seem as hour ahead aswell. Where are LivestrongNick is on the right time

GKam your previous post is timed at 18:06
Are you posting from a mobile site prehaps?

Nope. Using the computer I normally use.

I've copied the last 10 posts. It seems there is a bug in the system or server somewhere

Hhmmm I am using a sony tab and the time now says 18.41. On the tab....can I get an extra hour for xfers then???

I had 1,2,3,6,9,17
1,2,4 Points
1,2,3,8 GC
2,3,4 Mountains

Think that's 175 ish

I don't think its anything to do with our equipment. Its the host system/server which is the problem as I've tried on the various computers/tablets and phone's in the house.

Dave might just need to give the server a kick and restart it

Well I am losing places and points but I'm sticking to my guns NO Contador on my team ever. Sorry, no I not, I just don't like him even if it means dropping position in my area I've been sitting Third most of the season but now steadily dropping but I don't care he won't be on my team

1,2,5,6,9 plus Clark stage
1,2,3,8,gc
1,2,4 hills overall

1,2,4,5 in overall points

However as it is a summit finish I assume there are no mountain points.

not so good for me compared to all you lot, something like 1,2,3,6,9 maybe and thats all

1,2,3,6,9,20 + Clarke. Not too bad a day. Around 50th in premium Vuelta after a week in Normandy, sitting next to a wall to get wireless from next door on my iPhone,(both gites owned by the same owner - nothing dubious). Bit easier now I'm home but didn't lose too much position on GC (the overall - 15th, maybe 14th today). Nice to see the race live though. I like Purito - I hope he wins it. [Good holiday as well!!]

Were the scores updated for today?...

6hrs to go and no update from stage 14....anyone know what the problem is?

There seemed to be some server and timestamp issues during the stage yesterday which led to the 'timewarp' jokes so I'm guessing that(and the fact that even admins have to sleep)may have something to do with it.

Unless they're totalling up the points for Lars Boom in the 'Invisible' Jersey competition

Patience guys n gals, they're coming....... Something to do with a French road trip ..... Dave does have a life !

I'm kind of bummed that the stage scores aren't up...

It's kind of cool to assess your position in the overall competition before you pick your transfers, just because depending how much you trail by you might make risky or safer choices...

I don't think they've ever taken this long!

But... I guess they can't be slaves to the game!

For a paid for service,even a simple explanation would be appreciated.....

apologies, we were hotfooting it through northern france on the way back from eurobike and in the general melée it got overlooked. updating now.

No problem from my end Dave. Better have brought back loads of schwag tho'

Such a pain when we have to rely on globetrotting button pushers....lol
