Meersman may have to be axed though again, and waste a transfer!

1st 4th 6th 7th but shudda kept Cav. . . thought he might be a bit injured for the sprint, and picked farrar . . . sobs . . . good bye bike.

And i've gone for a 20pt penalty for tomorrow so that i can afford to put the winner in the squad, and get rid of theo bos. . . going down a ski jump is too steep for TB  4  4

Woot! one of the stages I needed to make up for a bad Paris-Nice, made up 80 points on No.1 spot and 40 points on most teams above me in overall. Still need a couple more stages like it.

Almost had Modolo in my team instead of JJ Haedo (did on during pre stage 4 workings, but decided Saxobank better chance in TTT & was right).

Still made the right transfers yesterday, Kristoff for Phinney (I wanted Kristoff for stage 6) & Demaere for Rasmusseun (almost went Guardini but wanted option of Pozzato for stage 6 and would be problematic with two FAR riders in my team)

Damn you!! Just when I think I'm getting ahead I f*** up big time. Should have looked at Twittter before I made my transfers and found out wife and kiddy were at the finish. No way would I have changed him then! And what happened to Hushovd! Annoying thing is I intended to have Bennati and Kristoff originally.

The only good thing is the leader of the Giro only scored 4 more points than me so I'm not as far back as I thought.

I'd planned on bringing in Bennati since the rest day, but Farrar's GC points tempted me away.  20

Similar story for me - almost brought Cav back in but Farrar's GC position swayed me. Still - Goss, Bennati and Kristoff make it my best (least bad?) day since the Prologue...  1
