So many choices….

This is where I really love this game. Spot on to the organisers the values make it a tough choice in an interesting race.

The obvious thing was to pop in His Nibs and Froomey and I think that would probably be the best option, but I have gone off piste and put in a couple of Swiss guys, Spilak, and Peraud instead. Added in a mid range Frenchie who is a real gamble and left in a blanked out MM, so going with an eight man team. I really wanted to bring in TJ but couldn’t make it work. Talansky and Uran were also carefully considered, and of course there was that couple of Paxo Stink of Cheeses that I wanted in too. My big problem is the romantic in me did’nt want to take out the big Pole, so I have left him in, and taken 20 penalties. TBH I cannot see how I can win the stage but, it’s fun trying all the different variations.

3rd on the stage goes a little way to making up for my personal worst of -7 on stage 1. At least I’ll get another FSUCI point or two. No idea what to do for tomorrow though.

1,2,3 and 12 so far – that should at least double my so far totally crap score

EDIT: +15th for zoidl (and a few points for tschopp)
EDIT (Again): and a couple for Beltran (3rd in the young rider). I’ve only got 2 non-scorers today and one of them was a DNS – no-one worth swapping him out for with penalties.

Not great for me but I never
Not great for me but I never really considered puting Froome in, as he was too expensive, and the risk of him not being fit was too high. Some poor decisions there but it was fun and at least I had Spilak. Should have dropped Kwiatowski.

Hindsight ehhhhh a wonderful thing!

[chrisdstripes]

Good to see Froome showing
Good to see Froome showing some form today! Shame Talansky dropped his chain halfway up the last climb, otherwise he would have been in the Nibali group, with a good chance of podium after the TT. Didn’t see anything of Tejay, I wonder if Tuesday’s crash has given him an injury, or if he just decided to take it easy and focus on the TT?

1,2,6,10 for me, but with 30 penalty points. Although Zoidl might have scraped into the top 20, and Tschopp should have 10-15 points as well.

Purists plummet after today, the only GC rider I had was Tejay…
