Dauphine Stage 5 - Help!
Ok Guys!
I'm 13th overall, don't know how it happened, but so close to a high roller badge! Don't know when this chance might happen again! I'm 10 points off and only got 2 transfers!
I'm basically asking for your help!
Current team:
Froome
Meersman
Porte
Barguil
Janse Van Rensburg
Veilleux
Fairly
Martin
Pinotti
Thinking of getting out Martin, and Pinotti, as only brought them in for TT, but doesn't give me much money to work with!
What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just 1 & 9 for me, dont think thats gonna help my overall!
Beats my 1,10 although I do have 1,8,9,10 on gc .....
Realised that may be a possibility but was hoping they would have let him go because of the finish .....still either way I was wrong ....Again!
Please don't let Enrique beat me overall ....I'll be suicidal if that happened
105 points for me I think, 1, 4, and 9 plus GC points.
8 scoring riders for me.....A massive 82 points
1, 14 & 19, plus KOM points from Damuseau.
Also just missed out on Lanterne Rouge by one place!
107 in the end, missed a couple of points for Barguil. still 9th overall and leading Forum Scorum but dropping away slightly. Top spot is out of reach so fighting to stay top 10.
Plus, with De Gendt and Kwiatkowski my purist team had a poor day and dropped a few places.
93 points today, down to 21st overall. Think thats my fight over!!!!
111 for me after a 20 point penalty. Not bad, but not good either.
It can be difficult to come from behind but a top 10 finish isn't out of the questions, you just need to call the next few stages correctly and possibly take a risk or two (time for penalty transfers?).
Heh heh! You just made me take a risk for tomorrow I never would have normally taken!
Thoroughly enjoyed that, the look on Bertie's face as he could not keep up with Froome was priceless
.
You could almost see his TdF hopes get obliterated, mind you thats another race and still a way off yet.
When I shoot up over 400 places in two days it shows how badly I started the Dauphiné.
Everyone wrote him off in the Vuelta too!!
142pts good enough for 25th on the stage backing up my 3rd in the ITT......so when you see that I'm still not in the top 250 it's obvious what a shocker I had during the early 'V fo Victory' stages!!.
