Something for the weekend sir?
Or spend those transfers on a couple of cheap sprinters. penalties won't work, Oh what to do?
Go stage hunting like Wig Billy?
After yesterdays disaster all my plans are in tatters, I haven't got a clue.
Soldier on like Nairo and hope for a comeback in the mountains.

I think queues of traffic might be very vulnerable to a cyclist swinging a U-lock at their windows! Bring on the revolution!

No Quintana, Evans or Poels for me today. Probably a mistake but Polski are quite far ahead so have decided to risk it
I was gonna leave evans out but then decided the combo of Evans and Poels should score more than Quintana and Monfort combo
Have you put in Quintana then?
Never you mind Mr Tullett. I hope that scumbag Evans gets dropped...
Why do you hate Mr Evans?
Pffft... next stage please!
I'm torn between about four riders for one place in tomorrow... one of them is Ulissi, who I don't think the finish tomorrow really suits (but then I didn't think the TT did either). It just seems like more of one for a pure climber. Tricky.
I gave up after belfast
finally got my full house 
More ground lost!
This really is the most interesting and different grand tour I can remember, and still a week to go. Who knows what is going to happen next, Its great fun.
Oh yes I didn't do very well again, but hell it's only a game.
It definitely looked like Nizzolo pipped Bouhanni
I thought so at the time but haven't seen the photo. Didn't make any difference really. Glad I didn't waste a penalty to bring Nizzolo in as it definitely wouldn't have been worth it. I think it must have been the wet and leaves that slowed them for a bit.
Only 97, my first time under a 100.
I've been under 100 loads, only once in the Giro but heh!
Just picked my team for tmw and have forgone Evans for a risky one. Time will tell.

Wow, that would've been top 6 had the break not stayed out!
15th overall, so close yet so far
Canola hasn't even been out on a break so far! Amazing win! Kudos to him for going early. Well, I did say something strange might happen today.
No they're saying that Bouhanni was 4th.
Canola wins. Nizzolo probably beat Bouhanni but no biggie!
Unfortunately I don't.
Anyone got any of the break riders, especially Canola.

I made 2 transfers and kept most of my team for the next few stages to be honest. I'm to far behind for it to make to much of a difference. A couple of penalties tomorrow for sure.

3 trades Taking Gamble today, with Pettacchi (55/1) , as he has won on this day in the past 5 times at least, and as late as 2012, not all at giro.
IN Pettacchi, Nizzolo, Fedi.

I'm not sure I've had any breakaway points yet, usually my men go the day after I take them out.
