No garmin in stage 4 of med

I have Garmin riders, but its a no for extra transfers, its called tough luck im afraid, its no different to a rider getting injured etc. those that haven't picked Garmin riders should not be disadvantaged by us being unfortunate

ok bad luck then
i agree but its a bummer for me could cost me my first spot
most others don't have dan martin

Again luck of the draw, you can take the 10 point penalty and still make a transfer, which is what im considering

Take 10 points or ride it out, im not sure on this one

Me either, Roche or Ten Dam in

I have Talansky and Navardauskas but TERatcliffe is right, its the risk you take making transfers early, people drop out late, its annoying but that's the way it goes sometimes.

I'll be making penalty transfers, at least they 10 pts each this year and not 20.

Also, is it properly official they're dropping out?

I haven't seen an official article per say, but based on reports id say im gonna believe they wont start, but im gonna wait another half hour before making any penalty transfers

this is the most up to date i can find

at twitter both thomas dekker and talansky say they wont start the whole team is flying back today

looks like i might even be lucky cuasse dan martin was not feeling well and was dounbting if he would start anyway

Bit the bullet and made 4 penalty transfers.

Figured with -20 points today was a write off anyway so what's another 20 point penalty? Got my team exactly how I want it for the rest of the race now.

Arse. Already had Talansky and brought in Dan Martin last night. Oh well, given my crap Tour Med so far, 20 penalty points isn't going to make much difference

lucky me i transferred my garmin riders out last night!
