Sprinters Leaving the Giro

Just a reminder to all those competing in the game that many of the sprinters will be leaving the Giro now that the last sprint stage is over. It would probably be a good idea to hold off on transfers until we know which ones are hanging in there!

In an unwise move, I built my team for today so 4 of my 9 riders are sprinters. I just have to hope 1 or 2 of them stays in the Giro for a few more days so I can get points here and there.
