    Short and apparently technical ITT today.

    Three changes for me (one penalty) to get some TTers in, dropped Modolo, Majka and Selvaggi for Kwiatkowski, Malori and Pereira.

    I had considered swapping Costa for Martin but I think Rui can keep up today and Martin will need dropping again for tomorrow (in my eyes at least).

    Costa
    Machado
    Kwiatkowski
    Coppel
    Malori
    Kelderman
    Pereira (V)
    Fonte
    Livramento

    Jeez…..did Castro and Spilak crash or something?

    How is Cav beating them in a TT?

    Cavs is no slouch at short ITT’s if you check back. I hope Spilak had a rest day for tomorrow and I think Jonathon must have had a mechanical as he was beaten by Dowsett.

    My risk was dropping
    My risk was dropping Kelderman and Coppel, the first because I needed credits, the second because I think I picked someone who’s riding better right now. On top of that I dropped Machado as I ran out of patience and Malori too as he’s had his day.

    Nice one – like your style. I’ve made 2 transfers, bringing Kwia and Chernetskiy in. Embarrassed now by how boring that is! Having said that, I still have Machado and Oliveira, might take a hit if I can find someone worth bringing in…

    Castroviejo instead of Malori
    Castroviejo instead of Malori was a mistake

    My purist is now 47 points ahead of my standard team and has beaten me every day. Despite rigging a team today with the express intention of making no changes for tomorrow, I think I’ll be ringing in some changes tonight.

    At least I have the Tour of Andalucia

    I messed up a couple of days
    I messed up a couple of days ago and ended up not being able to afford Kwia, so had to either take 20 pens to get him in, or leave him out on the off-chance of a mechanical or something. Made the wrong choice methinks…

    2,3,9,12 – I always get the tactics wrong in TTs. Castroviejo, Machado and Oliveira were the let-downs.

    Cracking rider. I can seriously see him having a go at the Giro GC in a couple of years’ time.

    I think he, Stybar and Tony Martin are three of my favourite riders, and all happen to ride for OPQS.

    1,2,9,12 & 16 plus 1,3 & 6 on GC. A solid 95 after penalties but nothing spectacular.
