Bos - should still get some points for the points comp
Bazzana - most likely of my 'sprinters' to hang in and maybe top 20

Does anyone have the KSI stats for penny farthings for the last 5 years, I suspect they are lower than for these so called Safety bicycles!

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

In that £1000 exactly scenario, beginners should probably be made aware that pedals will be extra.

Hey, how bout some props for me? I tied TERatcliffe for 1st place... And then I went and won the next stage, too!
Feel free to check Gkam....Id have scored 3 more points more had Bos finished the stage
I'm off to check the scores.....TERatcliffe26 has won the stage on his own tour
Stewards enquiry launched into unusual betting patterns, illegal substances, non UCI approved parts.....
Alex Dowsett DNF. Glad I hadn't brought him in for tomorrow.
Full scores are out at http://www.voltaalgarve.com/classificacoes/Etapa3.pdf
Oops, results I meant not scores.
1,2,3,5,7,10,11 for my standard team
2,3,5,7,11 for my purist team
Scores will be u as soon as the official PDF is posted on the website
Well played! VoA has been a disaster for me! My first bad tour of the year!
But didn't R Mestre get 3 mountain points?
Yes he did, given them to the wrong Mestre, gonna update now
Thanks. Not gonna make a big difference but every little counts!
Gonna have to do a bit more research on the next couple of races I've never played before. Your practice last year on all the races obviously gave you a good idea of what to do. I did much better this year on Qatar and Oman having done them before, but I know very little about Catalyuna and Pais Basco.
What happened to DeGendt? I thought he would be up there
So I left Westra and Menchov out
Yeah Edmondson was a good call.
1,2,3,5,10,11 for me. Looks like TER did very well.
1,2,3,5,10 on the stage and 1,2,3,4 on GC.

Sounds like Machado up there too, how successful I am though probably depends on JTL and Kwiatkowski.

My purist team is exactly the same.

Both my teams look like they are gonna get murdered today!
I was too indecisive at the beginning of this one, ended up leaving Bos out of my standard and Nizzolo out of purist, rather than picking both for both.
