VaC stage 7
Well I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I can't see it as being a sprint because I think J-Rod will attack. I still have Meersman as back up in case. Ive lost out over the past few stages by having Wiggo and not J-Rod, but with 3 transfers I corrected that. Decided for one risk transfer and that was Fuglsang as I think he could attack too. And with points for all those cat 3's scoring could get interesting. Played safe bringing in Meier too, hoping he might try for the first sprint to wrap it up
Martin
J-Rod (for Wiggo)
Quintana
Niemiec
Gesink
Fuglsang (for Dumoulin)
Meier (for Ratto)
Salerno
Meersman

Turns out there were actually 9 climbs so I'll be redoing the scores now I have the full results.
Just a small one.....I finished 5th overall in the Volta but my palmares is showing that my best finish in a competition is 9th in the Algarve?
Am I just being a bit premature...if so don't blame me I was born this way
Yup abit premature, that updates once the competition is archived which will be probably be in a couple of weeks
If there were 7 climbs, I can give you the riders who are listed on the official site as scoring......
Yes
Will have another look for some official climb results and update.
Kruijswijk/Kiserlovski mix up with the scoring?
Crap day, only 77, dropped De Gendt last night and dropped Dumoulin this morning....
Anyway, managed to keep my top 10 place in the competition so I'm happy.
Scores updating, having to use unofficial sprint/climb standings so these results are provisional and I'll review them in the morning or as and when the final results are out.
Well I was doing ok and, having finally staggered to 5000 points for the season, was reasonably pleased. Unfortunately today's stages were dreadful points-wise and I'm languishing in sub-1300th position for the Spring Classics.
Have a look at www.voltacatalunya.cat/ca/encarrera/7/ for stage results etc.
Thanks, except that's entirely lacking in stage climb and sprint results.
That's all I'm waiting for.
NOT a good stage for me, I just checked the results....5 of my original 9 would have been in the top 20....BUT I've transferred them out over the week
I know that feeling very well, I seem to be transfering out all my best ideas these days, I was absolutely convinced Van Avermaet was in both my teams and celebrating 1,3,4 when I discovered he was in neither
Apologies for the delay in the scores, I've been using cycling news and they aren't providing climb/sprint info yet.
Will hopefully have them updated before the end of the night.
Another full house for me I believe
Told you today was a new day. 6 WT points for my FDS team I believe.
Now did Fuglsang pull back any time in GC to get him into the top 10? Hope so, he's been annoyingly close to WT points all week.
Nope Fuglsang didnt
I dropped De Gendt...
Not actually as bad as I thought with Fuglsang in 10th, however should have ditched Meersman not Dumoulin and it would have been perfect
1 De Gendt
2 Lopez
3 Kiserlovsky
4 Scarponi
5 Dumoulin
6 Simon
7 Mori
8 T. Meyer
9 Brambilla
10 Fuglsang
