Vuelta Stage 15

Contador
Rodriguez
Valverde (for Froome)
Viviani
Niemic (for Meersman, nearly went for Verdugo but my girlfriend thought Niemic had a better name)*
Talansky
Marczynsky
Quintana
Bouhanni

Couldn't work in a decent Bouhanni replacement so decided to leave him for now. Team is stacked towards the finish for today rather than breaks. Froome is looking tired and out of ideas (why attack yesterday if he was so tired? He needs to work on his tactics) so have gone for an in form Valverde, hoping he'll continue to outscore him.

Getting nervous for my purist team, 1st place has Valverde and Clarke and its hurting me, my team is:
Contador
Rodriguez
Froome
Viviani
Talansky
Meersman
Marczynski
Quintana
Bouhanni

Hoping Marczynski and Talansky score heavily.

*don't laugh, its a tactic that worked really well during the Giro.

Got 193 yesterday so not going for stages yet.

Swapped Capecchi for Henao so I can have Verdugo.

Valverde
Purito
Contador
Henao
Clarke
Verdugo
Marczynski
Bouhanni (get rid of tomorrow)
Talansky

Hope we get some live pictures soon as this is only the second time I've been able to watch anything live.

Getting a bit pissed off and pissed.

After yesterdays events I'm not going to be paying much attention to this game for the rest of the Vuelta. I'll be stage hunting for the final week;

J-Rod
Contador
Jeannesson
De Gendt
Marczynski
Talansky
Kreder
De La Fuente
Meyer

Contador
JRod
Valverde(for Roche)
Ten Dam
Clarke
J Moreno
Astraloza
Florencio
Talansky

Got 155 yesterday without big breakaway so same today will do me fine

Different teams today Ter

Contador
Valverde
Henao
J-Rod

Talansky
Anacona
Marczynski
Aramendia (been in a few breaks this year)
Clarke (surely in the break today?)

I think I got about 134 points yesterday although that's with calculations on back of a fag packet.

Valverde(for Moncoutie) He has almost as many guaranteed points from GC/Pts/KOM than Moncoutie can get with ALL the bonuses today.

Stages 16 and 20 are the big fantasy breakaway days I reckon.

Thats my only change leaving 2 transfers in the bank(I almost dare not take out Cesar or DeLaFuente as I just KNOW they'll do something on the day I do!!)
