Tour of California Stage 8
Well its been a good week for many teams, and now my team is in a mess, and looks like I will drop out of the top 20 overall due to the inevitable sprint.
I was gonna bring in Sagan and Farrar for Meyer and Tejay. I would have liked to bring in Meersman too, but to do that would involve penalty points and taking out Rogers or Craddock, but is it worth it, as Meersman would have to finish at least 5th just to break even 
On the other hand I could avoid Sagan, but that would still involve penalty points, but I fancy Sagan for tonight, to wrap up the points jersey

£5500 is same price as the equivalent 2020 Trek Madone (SL7) which is now about 50% more. Hopefully this will drive stupid prices down a bit, I...

" The lightest pedal system currently on the market" is debatable, the Xpedo Thrust SL are 168g a pair, KEO compatible, and a fraction of the cost.

I think it depends on the Lidl. There's two near me, one is just half a mile away and has been open over 20 years. The bike parking is not great,...

Yup Ive had a pretty good week (not bad in the giro either) Im sure my luck will drop off at some point.
It defo worked as I only scored 356 over the past two stages. Had I gone for Dennis over DZ, that would have made a big difference. Maybe my big loss was gong for Chavanel when I should have played safe with Frank
Ive decided just to go with Sagan and Farrar today
Brought in Sagan yesterday for the points and a full house. Got 5 sprinters today including him with a 10 point pen.
Sagan, Farrar, Hushovd, Matthews and on a whim Boeckmans plus TJ, Acevedo, Rogers and Mancebo.
