Giro Stage 6
So who's your main man/men for today?
I haven't got a clue who i'm going to put in.
I could play safe and put a couple of guys who will score from the GC, but i already have Cav, GT and Nava. So i'm not sure.
I was going to start making my climbers come in, but there are still flat stages to come and the big climbs don't really hit till stage 14. Most others the punchy sprinters should manage. Not the likes of Cav and Farrar though

I suppose 5 points is better than the zero I'd have got from Haedo (expect him to roll home last now)
Sorry if you picked up Bennati for today
My live stream down .... going to have to get a tv in the office!
From Cycling News - "We're hearing that Tyler Farrar has crashed out of the Giro."
Re Benatti - I doubt many people brought him in for today, but of course many (including me) may still have him in from before. My plan was to drop him after today, I ran out of transfers yesterday...
Anyone know where Cav is?
FARRAR out
Farrar is OUT
Joys, i'm just home, so to confirm. Lastras and Hushovd out? Here was my team for the day. Leaving me with 2 transfers for tomorrow. I wonder which ones i'll have to change
Thor Hushovd (BMC)
Filippo Pozzato (FAR)
Giovanni Visconti (MOV)
Pablo Lastras (MOV)
Ramunas Navardauskas (GRM)
Dennis Vanendert (LOT)
Stef Clement (RAB)
Arnaud Demare (FDJ)
Jon Izagirre (EUS)
Yeah my team is F***ED
Didn't even consider Rubiano this morning (other than in passing) so not too miffed I missed out, although the 70-something points he'll probably get for KoM points, KoM jersey, GC and stage win will make a few people very happy.
my team is also f***ed
Rubiano wins, picked by 1% of teams, no doubt the top ones who'll get even further ahead
If someone else could post the results when they are up on here http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/Giroditalia/2012/en/?lang=en
Malori now if Pink but was LR last year
Cause its my birthday and i'm away out. If every team wants to donate 1 point, it would be great
Farrar's injuries just sound like bruises and scratches, the wuss...
66 points for Rubiano. Nice.
Edit - make that 69, he's also 3rd in the points classification.
Well great day for me today
none in top 16
1 x team bonus
3rd & 7th GC
1st points
22 in total for me, big letdown from 169 yesterday, that said I beat most the team around me in overall except the with the new no. 1 team ManxMissiles with Rubiano and now 2nd overall Punctured with Pozatto
So most top 20 overall teams score less than 20 points, with a couple of exceptions
Taylor Phinney last over the line, so 10 points for anybody who still has him.
Had dyachenko and pozzato top ten. J rod 6th on gc and goss with a few points jersey points.
Pretty bad day allround
thanks Wig Billy. best news all day!
Not bad at all
I'VE GOT RUBIANO
Not bad at all
I'VE GOT RUBIANO

Dave's prob gone into hiding with GKam, think i might join them :'(
24 points and I still make marginal gains. Unreal. Just glad today's finished.
2,two, Deux, 2 points. Just in case you missed it 2 points. If this is a record I demand socks.
