I was thinking of Nizzolo for tomorrow as well as someone else of that ilk.

At least some points for Di Luca in the sprint, seems my Navadauskas risk hasn't paid off  39

Don't know, apparently Navardauskas has just jumped up to the lead trio and flown straight past them.

its all Caruso's fault, so selfish of him, he should drop back to the peleton so the break can stay away  20  19

Sorry about that Ter. It's all because I picked him!

In hindsight, if you wanted to stage hunt today it might have been worth picking a team of strong sprinters (Mezgec, Nizzolo etc) as they may still get their shot today. Plus, I can't see many people predicting that outcome.

......and now possibly it all comes back to a sprint and the miraculous Cav win  19  19  19

6k @8.4%. Max 13%!

This is for Paolini, Sanchez, maybe Caruso if he didn't use up too much energy! Plus numerous others.

At least Nava is with the leaders, Di Luca is back in the bunch.

Anyone know who took the 2nd sprint?

I don't think it will be a sprint (as in no Cav etc, Di Luca for the win now he is back in the bunch)

Santambrogio dropped

Not sure tomorrow is gonna be a sprint either now  39

Should have kept Niemiec

Pirazzi trying hard. Could come together on the descent with a reasonable size group. Sanchez still in there!

Santabroglio missing and I don't have him today. Got Pirazzi instead.

Got quite a few in the final group. Go Sanchez!

Pirazzi goes again, not bothered if he wins, he's in too many other teams and Wig_Billy has him in his purist team so hoping he doesn't make it.

A Majka win would be ideal for me  4

Should be another full house, as I think Santambrogio will still be in the top 10  39

Hard to believe as that stage was 2 weeks into a Grand Tour...fantastic racing and much ambition shown from numerous riders...My faith in bike racing has been restored after some pretty boring stages...

Glad that I banked my transfers now....  1

Same, at least the 1 transfer I made didn't cost me too much 9 points I think (compared to Niemiec), but I believe Nava will be involved in the finish tomorrow too, so should make up for it

3,6,8,10 plus Nibali, Uran and Pirazzi, with 6 transfers for tomorrow. Happy with that.

Considered Kangeroot and Honey Badger too, but stuck with the safe option of doing nothing, wimped it maybe, but probably the right decision. That TT is going to be important for the podium too now.
