Vuelta Pais Vasco - Stage 2
Three changes for me today after a fairly solid start.
Betancur, Slagter and Salerno out, Swift, Matthews and Ratto in.
I assume everyone is banking on a sprint today?

Do I understand correctly that riders are not receiving their 1-5 points for their end-of-day standing in the actual points classification?
EDIT: I see this now stated in previous stage thread.
Thanks enrique : ), i didn't expect to be so high, definitely the highest i've come on one stage.
Heh heh
Nice. 
Just wanted to 'Welcome him' back
He hadn't said anything in so long, I just couldn't resist acknowledging he's back. I just can't ignore him! 
He livens this place up. 
I missed him.
So the top scores today didn't have Tony Martin
The winner of a dhB buff today is Wildcard with 156
Poor day, only 4,11,16 standard.
2,5,6,9 for me with penalties
Not as bad as I anticipated, although I too would probably have been better off making no transfers, at least I put Swift in. It looks like the GC guys are going to go after every stage so unless the break can stay away again tomorrow which I doubt.........
2,6,9,16 for me plus some GC points but really regret taking Chernetski out for Ratto and paying a penalty to do it..... oooch!
2,4,6,9,16,
2,6,9, & 16. I already had all of them. Might as well not have made any transfers for this one and saved them for tomorrow (or Thursday)
Ha Tom Peterson in my Purist for last man home
just 1 & 3 for my purist, had jungels as well in break, but dont think he picked up any points!
2,3,8,9 for me, minus 10 but could've been worse. Purist 3,6 plus 1,2,3 on GC. Optimistic for purist if those three stay up there and someone sneaks into a break...
I have Martin, Swift, Kwiatkowski in my purist team.
Other than that, Contador in both and Valverde and Matthews in my standard.
Could do quite well then
Nice. Good job. Really nice. It's nice to see you. Really.
Enrique, sarcasm does not suit you but i like your attempt
And it was (!) a nice score!
PV.png
Who have you got northstar?
I have 30 penalty points to consider, but should do ok ish
Jan Polanc (LAM)
Michal Kwiatkowski (OPQ)
Alejandro Valverde (MOV)
Alberto Contador (TSB)
David Arroyo (CJR)
Matteo Montaguti (ALM)
Koldo Fernandez (GRS)
Davide Villella (CAD)
Jean-Christophe Peraud (ALM)
Tomorrow needs thinking about
Ratto was a poor transfer but glad I brought in Swifty and Matthews wasn't a total bust. Now, what do I do about tomorrow?
Speak for yourself...
Gonna be a low scoring day
Damn, these guys are fast (!)
PCS 2.jpg
that was close for Swift on the line, must of held of Kwiatkowski by a cm at most
Happy days putting Valv in instead of Matthews
1 T. Martin
2 Swift
3 Kwiatkowski
4 Cunego
5 Martens
6 Valverde
7 Iglinskiy
8 Arashiro (‽)
9 Matthews
10 Nocentini
11. D Caruso
12 Chernetskiy
13 Poels

15 Geschke
16 Contador
17 Samu Sanchez
18 Gesink
19 Gilbert
20 Cuddles
Its ok, I got it from AG2R twitter, just confirmed and removed him
Man, you're good (!)
Just gone live on eurosport - gap is 2.26 with 56k to go.
70km to go, gap still at 2'15"
I really don't think the gap is big enough to hold off the peloton but you never know where Tony Martin is concerned.
