    Two stages today with a transfer window in between.  We start with a short rolling stage this morning that should follow a similar pattern to the first couple of days (although who can predict what will happen over just 62km) followed by an 18.2 km technical and hilly time trial this afternoon.

    No changes for me going into the morning stage but I've already got three of my four changes planned out for this afternoon.  My only remaining decision will be whether I drop Degenkolb for the time trial in favour of a proper time trial rider or risk leaving him in and hoping for the best.  Got my eye on Phinney but I'm not sure if the TT suits him or not.

    Took Zoidl out for
    Took Zoidl out for Larsson……..bit like my Hepburn out for Elmiger in the ToQ ITT

    To be fair though i only had Zoidl in the first place because of alphabetical order when selecting a 3.0 on stage 1 !!

    I took a penalty on one rider, have budget to spare but nobody jumped out at me as a must have but I figured I’d take a risk and hope for the best.

    Gutted I didn’t pick Zoidl given that he’s my 3 credit rider but at least he’s in my purist team. Can’t even remember why he wasn’t in my standard team from the start, think I originally had Jungels and Felline but didn’t bring in Zoidl when I dropped Jungels for stage 1 ~X(

    Seems like we are all having a ~X( day lol

    Picked Solid Steve and Chava for this arvo, but somehow overlooked Zoidl (though he is in my purist). Disappointing morning, afternoon score should be a bit better. Peraud defo in for tomorrow now.

    Cheers , however I’m sure a pair of road.cc socks would ease my pain if they can’t rectify the issue from this morning “hint hint” 😀

    2,3,4,6,9,12 hmmm + Points
    2,3,4,6,9,12 hmmm + Points for Colbrelli in the points standing, will it keep me top 10? Very much doubt it

    Who to axe tomorrow, Phinney and who? Cheap rider in or axe Colbrelli, who may or may not do something, and should still get a couple of points, penalties? 😕

    4,6,9,12 purist, will not be good enough (No Chava will have cost me big time, and taking a punt on Seeldrayers), even with the odd points for Degenkolb and Maritnez
