This was a bad time for me to save a transfer for the sprint days I guess.  Points on the board...!  Like the Murphy's...

Similar for me, 2nd in standard with five transfers squirrelled away to change my team into a sprinting machine! But then it is only a game & there are more important issues to be dealt with.

Yep. Last two stages rumoured to be cancelled.

Uh oh..... A new Atlantic storm has just been named for this weekend, Storm Jorge, with 60-70mph winds...and the worst of it looks to be timed exactly right for Omploop.

Weird how all the storms seem to be coming at weekends this year!  Hope all the riders stay safe, I remember the race a few years ago when people were being blown off the road.

Gonna be a lottery to pick a worthwhile team. I’m thinking riders made out of left over bits from World War One dreadnoughts. Gilbert springs to mind.

Maybe Stannard might get his third?!

 Needed Dainese to step up today...sadly...

Feel a bit better about doing without Mezgec from day one now...I was undecided if Mezgec or Groves would be the sprinter....today proved I was at least right in my thinking even if wrong by the decision.

Bringing Groenewegen back in was a success today, still wasted a transfer early on that I am regretting.

I expect Dainese was in a few teams from the start, mine anyway, and if he had come good it may not have made a huge difference to standings.

Less worried about my lack of transfers now.  I did have three left that would have left me with a sprint team and Lutsenko for GC points.

Yes, was really hard resisting putting an extra sprinter in today to save a few for last three days. On the plus side you can fill your boots with transfers for the spring classics!

Just looking for the regulars and noticed Minardi without a Standard team. Did he miss the deadline?...I hope not....

Couldn’t quite make the money work for getting Valverde in without a third transfer due to going for Lutsenko yesterday....might regret that....i’m not as convinced as some that Lutsenko will even live with this climbing field either. 

Froome riding for Dunbar today.... Froome will be 3.0mill by the start of the TDF at this rate.

Yep, unless he scores some points he'll be dirt cheap. Might take some organiser discretion to manually fix his value depending on what his form is like.

I fancy Dunbar to hav a decent ride. Pogacar should demolish this field, but I reckon Lutsenko will grab a top 5.

I read an interview a few weeks ago where Pogacar said this was his target for early season. 

I put Dunbar in my purist until the very end then mysteriously swapped him for Herrada.... I don’t even know why.

Thought I was doing OK with the podium.  Got a feeling I have used one too many transfers.

Big decision for tomorrow. The smart move may be to accept a thin day. I’m pondering how to play it.

I've gone one too many transfers too, cant get the team I want for the last two stages. This is a recurring theme, have to plan better.

Not convinced it is going to matter in July.

Could be a very short season the way things are going in Italy and such like. 

Cycling must be top of the list for dodgy sounding sports events in terms of spreading a potential pandemic.

Sorry to be the cycling anorak but I think that the wrong Cima is in the list of riders (Damiano when it should be Imerio). Probably will have minimal impact on game but you never know......

Start list is still pap, so we'll wait until it's a little more complete. Hopefully tomorrow.
