Probably because I didn't make any penalty transfers yesterday  39

So what did I do today? Made 2 penalty transfers  4 Got a strong team for tonight though:

De Gendt
Thomas
Slagter
Hermans
Izagirre
Izagirre
Ponzi
Pietropolli
Dempster

Hoping at least one of my penalties picks up a good amount of points.

Made the mistake of swapping Howson for Pietropolli for 10 penalty points.  20 Had Howson from the beginning, but never mind! Too far away from the lead to win in any case. Still got 126 so not a bad day, but 97 off the lead with most people having similar riders is too much to make up, even with the extra 22 I would have got if I hadn't made the penalty transfer. If I'd had Pietropolli from the beginning, mind you, I'd be near the top!

Amazing picks by Gkam for purist!! Not an Aussie in sight!! I went Aussie heavy, which worked last year but definitely not this one.

Its the same as everyone else is getting,

Sky only do the bit with Yanto and JTL, which is quite good.

Update on Haas

Just found out riding on courage alone isn't enough. Turns out you need oxygen. Which you get from breathing. #asthma #flemclog

First chance to watch some live cycling this year (the other nights San Luis doesn't count)
What is everyone's thoughts on Sky's coverage?
