Tirreno-Adriatico ITT

I toyed with the idea of leaving Spartacus out due to yesterday plus his comments but I can't see him taking it easy tbh

Nothing to lose for me either.....I took 70 penalty points.

Leaving out the obvious Contador and Froome with the hope I picked the right guys to score decent points

Fabian Cancellara
Michal Kwiatkowski
Lars Boom
Bauke Mollema
Tony Martin
Jens Mouris
Alex Dowsett
Sebastian Langeveld
Anthony Roux

my team

Contador
Froome
kwiatkowski
Cancellara
Roux
Roulsten
Dennis
Garzelli
Bole

My team is already to sh*t, I took Roux instead of Malori

I also left out Nordhaug to have Boom and Mollema....

took a 10 point hit for my team:

Christopher Froome
Vicenzo Nibali
Tony Martin
Michal Kwiatkowski
Jonathan Castroviejo
Bartosz Huzarski
Rohan Dennis
Alex Dowsett

had schleck in my team but he's binned it.

Tony Martin just gone fastest in 10'25". Malori second, Cancellara 3rd at the moment.

Another rider I couldn't fit in Castroviejo, comes home in 4th so far.

Crap, I had a pool of 15 guys, I picked 9, I bet the other 6 all score

Boom was a waste of 10 point penalty for me

WOW Amador faster than Spartacus!!

So my 6 rider's that were in with a shout and didn't get picked

Malori
Nordhaug
Castroviejo
Amador
Contador
Froome

I bought Martin in for Stybar,Cancellara in for Sagan and Castroviejo in for Mollema(10 penalty pts)

Moser
Kwiatkowski
Castroviejo
Martin
Cancellara
Dennis
Nibali
Bravo
Benedetti

Glad i dropped Beefy

Crap, I wont be wining anything today...

If I have gone with this lot, I may have had a chance...

Cancellara
Kwiatkowski
Castroviejo
Amador
Martin
Mouris
Dowsett
Langeveld
Malori

1,5,6,8,10,12 plus 1,2 and 4 gc not to bad an ending to an interesting race.

Appollonio last man again

Looks like 141 for me(131 with the 10pt penalty)....not too bad and at least my penalty transfer worked with Cstroviejo placing 5th for 20pts.

after deductions (20) i think i got 127

Hands up who picked Amador. Trying very hard to remember that for another race

130 for me I think.. based on top 10 , contador and appollonio and gc , not sure on riders outside top 10 so could be more

Almost went for Amador. Would defintely have had Cataldo or Castroviejo if I'd had a few more points.

As it is, of the four I brought in, Martin, Dowsett and Dennis got me points, disappointed that my other pick, Bodnar, didn't.

Started day top of 3 of the 5 leagues I'm in, 2nd in another. Fingers crossed I got enough points...

I'd imagine Valverde would be delighted at the performances of Amador,Dowsett and Castroviejo seeing as the Giro,Le Tour and La Vuelta all have Team time trials this season?

Will the points for this stage be shown as the race was shown as completed before the TT stage!!

I'm sure they will be up soon, I guess the Dr is on call....lol

Um, its TERs race and I was only on call yesterday as he was working, I assume he's on it.

They are done

Do we get a badge for the winner of the itt - i had martin in both my teams but no winners badge ?
