Tour de France stage 13

Bought in Sagan EBH Griepel and Vuillermoz, kept the big two, the rest are not worth mentioning.

I am sadly a bit bored with the Fantasy game this year. I have said before I do not like the limited transfers, I appreciate that I now spend much less of my valuable time pouring over the options for the next stage, but I miss the excitement of pulling the team apart and rebuilding it in the middle of the tour. I also believe it is making all the teams much more homogenous, and its also more difficult to go for stage wins.

Sadly I think I will not bother with premium next year if the transfers are limited. End of an era.  2

2, 6, 12, 18 + perichon. Somehow moves me up to 4th on standard, but only 13 changes left.

For what its worth I don't mind the new format, a lesson in restraint! In saying that a few extra transfers would be nice, but only myself to blame...

From the number of fantasy points he's been racking up, you wouldn't know that Sagan has had a "disappointing" Tour this year, that's for sure.

So a heads up TER, it is (relatively) cold here at the moment and rest up on the plane, as you will be watching cycling to 2am in the morning (on the east cost at least). Cricket is on at a pretty good hour (8pm start), however I am afraid the curent test may be over by the time you land  4

So Valverde/Yates didnt pay off, but maybe they will tomorrow... just 6,9,12,20. Thats gonna ruin my tour  39

On another note, 1,3,6,9,10,11,12,13 for my RCUK team, gonna move up from 71st I reckon...

Hmm, that reminds me I have an RCUK team that I haven't touched since before stage 1. Duh.

I prefer the old format too to be fair.

Couldn't afford Sagan without too many changes today.

NAIRO ALEXANDER QUINTANA (MOV)
CHRISTOPHER FROOME (SKY)
JOHN DEGENKOLB (TGA)
ADAM YATES (OGE)
MATHIAS FRANK (IAM)
TONY GALLOPIN (LTS)
PEIRRE-LUC PERICHON (BSE)
ANDRE GREIPEL (LTS)
FREDERIC BRUN (BSE)

PLP in the break for me.
