3 Trades tonight.
OUT Quintana, Chicchi and Arredondo ( this one hurt but I want NIzzolo and have Zoidl as well.
IN Nizzolo, Ferrari(went for these 2 as have their teamamtes, dont have an extra fdj, and both home boys) really want Nizzolo to win a stage. Last my Chicchi repalcement, from same team, should be abouts and can TT. Daneile Colli.
Nizzolo
Zoidl
Ferrari
Ulissi
Evans
Uran
Majka
Godoy
Colli
See a few found Colli. Good Luck.
Just heard Viviani is SICk
Aaagh, this gets worse and worse. The guy at the top has Bandiera, who no doubt will win combativity to add to 6 pts in the intermediate sprint and Viviani.
All he needs now is for Viviani and Mezgec to finish 1-2 and he will increase his lead.
Nightmare.
Relax dude, still got 2 weeks left!
I really wish that they'd publish that kind of information before we all go and pick our teams
I can't imagine Viviani will drop out unless he has no other choice, tomorrow and Thursday at least will be easier days for him. Kittel dropped out no doubt with one eye on the Tour where he'll probably ride. Viviani though will surely be replaced with Sagan for the TdF so this could be his one big race of the year and he is still in with a shout of the Points Jersey.
Viviani suffered from a fever yesterday, wonder whether he will be affected, and whether it is likely to spread through the peloton. Kittel also retired with a fever last week.
well he just won a sprint to take the 3rd spot of the sprint, so might b feeling ok
Unbelievable. The guy at the top of the standings put Arredondo in just before he scored a pretty packet, and has just put Bandiera in who is 8.35 up in the break of 2 riders with an intermediate sprint coming up.
prob lots of similar teams today
Bouhanni
Ferrari
Mezgec
Evans
Nizzolo
Swift
Ruffoni
Colli
Bandiera
Just realised i left Evans in, hmm prob could of swapped him out and brought in Viviani, oh well

9 changes? WTF?
I made 9 transfers last night. I'll go and scramble some eggs now as I'm sure my face will be needing them later.
What I would really love to happen today is for Apollonio to win! Fat chance obviously.
Bouhanni, Mezgec, Nizzolo, Viviani
Evans, Arredondo
Monsalve, Armee, Romero
3 for tomorrow, so will probably take out Nizz/Viv for a couple of GC guys, and one left for a gamble on who's gonna hit the break!
My eight riders
Nacer Bouhanni
Maarten Tjallingii
Luka Mezgec
Elia Viviani
Roberto Ferrari
Giacomo Nizzolo
Ben Swift
Wilco Kelderman
and i've still got Chicchi in as i didn't want to take a 10 point penalty for another 3.0 rider.
Stage hunting today then dr
Not really, I had six transfers coming out of the weekend so figured I may as well use them. In theory Mezgec and Swift could stick it out tomorrow along with (long shot) Bouhanni so I figured I'd get them in today. Tomorrow has break written all over it so I might not bother with any changes and take four into the TT.
Also, as I said elsewhere, at 10 points each penalty transfers are no longer that expensive and are a viable tactic. I'm expecting to maybe make 2-4 penalty transfers this week but I should have made that up plus some if today ends in a sprint.
All 4 transfers used in the end
Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ)
Roberto Ferrari (LAM)
Rafal Majka (TSB)
Diego Ulissi (LAM)
Ben Swift (SKY)
Julian David Arredondo (TFR)
Fabio Aru (AST)
Alessandro Petacchi (OPQ)
Steve Morabito (BMC)
Evans
Tjallingii (haven't gotten around to dumping him yet)
Colli
Bouhanni
Nizzolo
Mezgec
Swift
Ferrari
Appollonio
