Afternoon all! They're 30km in, 2 of my guys already tried to get away but its back together at the mo I think.

I just swapped Seeldraeyers for Henao - couldn't cope if I dropped anyone else and they got in a break...

J-Rod
Valverde
Contador
Henao
Bouet
Sarmiento
De La Fuente
Astarloza
Machado

And you're right gkam, now that I look at it I see that my memory of the Giro was skewed a little. But it led to me picking De Gendt today, so I'm not complaining.

There is nothing to win for a stage victory in the Vuelta. So a draw is a draw 19

That's interesting simon, but these are the tiebreakers I was thinking of:

Fair enough but I was more responding to

Well If De Gendt win's he'll be level. But I don't know how they will work it out. Maybe whoever has lost the least time?

I was going to do the ones you were interested in later, but you beat me to it.

Put Moncoutie(6 points) in for Valverde(34 points)
put Marczynski(5 points) in for Talansky(18 points)

Why, why, why, why don't i ignore myself 14

I'm going to call this a POOR day for me.

I scored 153 with only one rider not scoring. Which on any other day would be alright.

Then I looked at my purist team. 156 with only 4 riders scoring 19

The only reason I said it was a poor day. After 2 and a bit weeks. My purist team which I picked before the race is outscoring my transfer team which I am changing out every day 19

I still have a list of 3 teams. My purist team, The team I started transfers with and the "if I had another account" team. At the end of the Vuelta, I'll be working out where I went wrong 26

I know where I went wrong, the wrong DS picks at the start plus the cost of the extra transfers to fix it is what's cost me really. If I'd started with Talansky, Meersman, Quintana, Bouhanni and Marczynski I'd be fighting for top spot but I picked De Weert and Da Fluente instead of Meersman and Talansky which cost me maybe 120 points early on plus 40 in penalty transfers.

What's most annoying is that I made the right picks on my purist team which is why I'm doing well.

One of the hardest things about this game is trying to change DSs when the terrain keeps changing, in the first week where I kept having to swap out climbing and sprinting stars there was no way for me to change DSs without being hit with the penalty.

Also, I probably stuck with Froome over Valverde for one or two stages too many.
