Stage 19 La Vuelta
So a shorter one today, after calling a truce yesterday, Cobo and Froome will be hard at it today again with another sprint just 20km in, Froome will be looking to get it if there is no break, To me, Sky have the power to keep a break from getting away, so why not use it to get a time bonus, either that or send one of the not so great sky riders into the back of Cobo's wheel, send him tumbling and then drill it so he's no chance to get back on 
http://skysports.html.infostradasports.com/asp/lib/event/tour/index.asp?...
If Froome cant improve today, then with the two cat 1's tomorrow he's going to have to thump it up them and hope someone burst's Cobo's tyre
So who's your main man today? I've got 2 in my team, but 1 most likely wont be allowed to get into a break, not that a break will hold onto the end

Depends on the changes you made today, If you still have Dan Martin, we're going to be about the same, i'm 103 behind before this stage, so only 85 for me, even if you score less, your still going to be a good whack ahead, just going to have to listen to myself next time
Should have taken my own advice and brought in Anton today
I make it 80 points so a pretty average day.
69, i've lost the place totally due to my son going to uni. Being stuffed by Cattywack in my local now too. Just wish the thing was finished. 42 place drop in 2 days too.
Gkam out of site in the evans league aussi.
Broke the century ! woo hoo
Wooooow, got my counting so wrong today, i thought i got 85, but somehow missed a whole 15 points
the big ton for me 
26 back on your today Mr 26
Now what advice should i give thats spot on today and ignore it tomorrow
yup your defo catching me, although unless ive screwed up massively with my transfers it will be tough for you to do so in the last two stages
and i doubt you will catch me in the overall, but we shall see
Hmmm, 191 behind on overall, if i can get the world champ TT and Road i could just about overhaul you
I'm clear of my other 2 i was competing with, thefatcyclist and Dave, but only just on fatty
I've got the GP Montreal sorted though and will everyone make their changes in time? from 11am till 5.15pm on Sunday
Ok, so tonights advice, with it being Cat 1's, get Intxausti and LL Sanchez in, with it being Basque country still, expect another one or two Euski's to be in the break, but i've swayed against them after their work today, i dont know another two who could do the same and reakon both of them today, Anton and Verdugo will be knackered
So with Intxausti being born just down the road from the start, expect him to be in the break and LL is Spanish, Rabobank cant send Mollema up the road but could do with some more coverage, so the best climber after Mollema is Garate, who is a Basque, but is not on great form, so LL is my man
BUT..................... DONT listen to me because i got it right today, i've got it wrong quite a few times since my great Lastras win
I was thinking similarily so here is the team.
Bradley WIGGINS SKY 25.5 GC
Juan José HAEDO SBS 17.2 PC
Juan Jose COBO ACEBO GEO 14.7 KM
Sylvain CHAVANEL QST 32.4 AR
Peter SAGAN LIQ 35.3 AR
Christopher FROOME SKY 12.0 DS
Benat INTXAUSTI ELORRIAGA MOV 16.2 DS
Matteo MONTAGUTI ALM 6.6 DS
Daniel MORENO FERNANDEZ KAT 8.6 DS
My team will defo be done as i will be in watching the F1, i have an idea of my GC, sprinter, KM and AR's are gonna be if i can afford them and also have a couple of DS guys in mind but last nights race in quebec has thrown me a few curveballs on who finished, who didnt and where. lets just say i would have done pretty well had we selected for the race last night
Snap, i just wish they hadn't gone and done that, 1,2,3 out of my team for 2moro, so it aint going to happen
well thats exactly what i had too, but who's to say it wont happen again? i dont see too many better options but gonna have a think

rubbish day for my team, got it all wrong
I would say awwwwww, but i might catch you
its looking likely, and now i wanna make 3 changes for tomorrow but cant
Quite happy with Anton winning, got some points from Vurdego and have plus a bonus 5 and Nieve
Froome and Cobo commence battle and the tv goes back to Anton
OK, the tracker has made me look a tit again, they are all in there
only 28 riders behind the leading 3 with 20km to go. Cobo has Menchov and Sastre with him, Froome has Wiggins and Lofkvist, going to be interesting.
Monfort, Nieve, Poels, Fuglsang and some other big names missing from the chasing pack
thats vergugo spent...he might get last place
go bruseghin
go froome
2. Bilbao 126.9 km
1 Bruseghin (MOV) 4
2 Verdugo (EUS) 2
3 I. Antón (EUS) 1
I would like to personally thank Anton for helping me out today, Bruseghin was always going to take the sprint
well done Verdugo, you're going to be caught next time round I think
Cat.2 Alto El Vivero 114.1 km
1 Verdugo (EUS) 5
2 Bruseghin (MOV) 3
3 I. Antón (EUS) 1
Go Go Verdugo
Thats a punishing Cat 2 and no room for bikes with the crowd filling the roads, Sky just looking to see what Cobo is doing up and then going to throw everything at him next time up
