Vuelta Stage 8
6 sprinters/puncheurs for stages 5 to 7; what a disaster. Everyone seems to be in the same boat though. I feel your pain Aragonite; but logically it should have paid off.
Stage 8; breakaway or GCs to win? General chatter is breakaway, but I think GCs; not too hard to control the breakaway and good for the ego to win. Froome or Chaves.
But who to pick as the second tier GCs?
Nevertheless, I will try to mix GCs/ breakaway.
Cheers

Hats off to anyone who managed to get a rider in the top ten today. Can see another breakaway win tomorrow, but I think/hope they will at least be known clinbers.
I was pleased that I correctly backed the breakaway option with my team. Less pleased that I didn't identify any riders that were actually in the breakaway.
wish I had left Goncalves in now
Had a good result yesterday but changed out for a mix of GC and possible break riders.

Agree Tony, i had a shocking 3 stages, topped off by taking out Gilbert for stage 7! I think GC today as well but have gone for a few breakaway riders. Have wasted so many changes that am looking to keep much the same team for the next few stages..
