1,2,3,5 & 20. Couldn't decide between dropping Porte and Talansky so made the wrong choice - could have been worse though.

blew that big time, was 2nd in yorkshire and a couple places outside top 10 overall but no chance of keeping either of them i recon, should have got rid of pinot for malori and taken the penalty hit...fortune favours the brave, and i was a coward! grrr

I reckon I bagged about 143 points today, hopefully enough to move me up a little bit.

1,3,4,5,7,9 Burghardt for mountains aswell.....but I took penalty points

Score are up

Poor for me today - biggest mistake was choosing Boaro over Malori, but there were plenty of others! Surprised Kelderman and Tuft weren't higher, and that Spilak and Westra were so good. Picking Brajkovic over Spilak yesterday probably cost me close to 100 points!

Purists may have done OK thanks to Martin, Ludvigsson, Rui Costa and Porte - started 12th so hoping for a top 10 badge. Hopefully used up my crap picks this week and can get some better luck in the Giro...

EDIT - purists actually dropped 5 places! Nev'mind...

Moved up into the top ten for the tour so very happy. A good day and I did well picking up Martin and Spilak for Porte and Talansky, Kelderman disappointed but still got me GC and young rider points, once again I totally forgot about Malori though!

120 points for today so not bad, stages 1 & 2 let me down big style so i was never in with a chance following that.

I felt like I was making lots of mistakes with my transfers in this race, so to finish 6th is a bit of a surprise. Now bring on the Giro.

Well after a bad first 2 stages, I'm pleased my over active use of penalty transfers resulted in 17th place. Kudos to drheaton for reading this race right and not having to use penalty T's! Great result, and well done obutterwick, well played sir.
My first GT next, bit nervous! I'm already pretty certain my purist will be a disaster....

I actually used three penalty transfers but got them in early after the prologue so I didn't need any at the weekend.

In hindsight I wished I'd used one more to bring in Mezgec but I can't complain too much, as far as I'm concerned he came out of nowhere.
