I took in Cav, Mezgec and Nizzolo for Uran, Nibali and Rollin today. Didn't lose to much, but ANNOYED that Le Bon has finally scored, after I removed him  14

3,8,10,11,12  22 gambled did not pay, went cav+nizzolo over modolo and ventoso, misread it - again

In my opinion it was not only Navardauskas who did not realise that Gio Visconti was up the road....They were playing with each other for 8km, thinking that they were going for the stage....hard to know how it can happen with race radio....but it did.... Respect to Visconti though for his quick recovery after the Galibier win... And respect to those who had the balls and nous to pick him today....  41

Decent score in the context of things, and Cav for Nibs didn't cost me anything, if anything Felline for Santa cost me a couple of points, so did Kangert in, but that was more for tomorrow.

At least bringing in Nava yesterday reaped its rewards again  1

2,3,8,10,12 for me + Betancur, Kangert and Cav (Pellizotti only non-scorer)

Well, I said it wouldn't be a sprint.

Low score today but my team is set for tomorrow and the other days. I didn't have many transfers banked so I couldn't take too many risks in any case. Was thinking of bringing in Pozzatto though but didn't bother in the end as I would only have to ship him out again. Sanchez my main disappointment.

I hope the last weekend isn't totally ruined like the last one but we'll see. I won't make any transfers until the last minute when I know what the stages are actually going to be.

Looks like Ter and I are going to have very similar teams again. Although most people's will be similar from now on after some bifurcation.

I guess we shall see Alan, im taking out Cav, Felline and Nava. Think I will leave Mezgec in as Im not sure there is anyone I can bring in that is cheap enough. May take him out for Chalapud

Well, I've already got Kangert as well as I didn't try guessing today. Pellizotti will stay as will Chalapud. Would have been better off with Mezgec and just keeping him as a filler but might do that tomorrow depending on whether I go for a mountain point or GC strategy, which it seems will depend on the weather. Having Nava has definitely paid off for you. Didn't expect him or Visconti to do so well again but their teams haven't got anything else to play for I guess. I hope Visconti is not being helped by anything as he has had a chequered past!!

EUS and GRE still got nothing. Sammy/Verdugo and Weening/Meier to go on a long break over the weekend?

Couldn't watch live today as I had to work  20  20

Giro never my best tour, bring on the TdF!!

1, 3, 4, 10 for me (at least) so yeah, sometimes you just gotta do... nothing.  4

EDIT - actually, I think it was just 1 and 10. It's hard to read names that are spelled out with 4 or 5 pixels each.  7
