Giro D'Italia - Tappa 16
Go!
Not telling anyone who I've picked till the window's closed, but I've taken a few risks on this one. Anyone else got anything they want to say?

Pirazzi trying hard. Could come together on the descent with a reasonable size group. Sanchez still in there!
Santabroglio missing and I don't have him today. Got Pirazzi instead.
Betancur and Sanchez on the front! Please stay away!
Glad I didn't take massive risks todady, still should have just left it as it was!
Noo we don't want Sanchez to stay away
can't have you catching me in the overall
Betancur for the win hopefully, he deserves it.
Gutted Nava didn't hang in
Got quite a few in the final group. Go Sanchez!
Pirazzi goes again, not bothered if he wins, he's in too many other teams and Wig_Billy has him in his purist team so hoping he doesn't make it.
A Majka win would be ideal for me
that is what you call karma for taking out Niemiec!
Inxausti nails it!
Damn! Good day's racing though!
Nava in 4th haha not too bad then only lost out on about 7 points
Should be another full house, as I think Santambrogio will still be in the top 10
4,5,6,8,10,11 and 12 for me
+ santambrogio and Di Luca's sprint points, should be solid. Thinking Felline, Cav + another for tomorrow 
not all is lost! ive got him in case it comes back, think he could contest the finish in that situation- along with evans etc...
Giving up! I was out of the top hundred this stage last year in the Tour (usually my best race). Won a stage with the prize I wanted and finished 20th.
Got 4 in the break today. They might stay away though I doubt if they will and maybe Caruso will do well as I don't think many have hiim, although he is quite high in GC. Still got Sanchez, Nibali and Evans if the break is caught and there is a downhill attack. Might leave my team alone for tomorrow as it's not a certain sprint.
If my break strategy doesn't stick that's what I'm hoping for as I've got Sanchez as well.
Gap coming down fast, not going to last till the climb at this rate unless the break get going.
......and now possibly it all comes back to a sprint and the miraculous Cav win
+1
magnificat!
Surely this is THE Sammy stage?
Sanchez and Paolini in for J-Rod II and Scarponi but left plenty of GC/KOM/Youth points in the bag.
5 transfers for tomorrow
Yeah, been reading around, people are saying Bak, Cataldo, maybe Clement...
Bak, roux, felline & mezgec in...
If I had have gambled today.....I was going to go Weening, Navardauskas and Sabatini.....Greenedge and Cannondale need more out of this Giro...
NIBALI
EVANS
SANTAMBROGIO
NIEMIEC
BETANCUR
PIRAZZI
PELLIZOTTI
RODRIGUEZ
MAJKA
I said I was going to be conservative with my transfers for the rest of the race... I lied :evil:.
Chasing the break again;
Duarte
Bak
Rodriguez
Pirazzi
Caruso
Chalapud
Evans
Uran
Betancur
No transfers tomorrow, then I can get my team back into shape for the MTT.
wow, that is way ballsier than me. Well, good luck with that! you obviously dont fancy a sprint tomorrow either then...
Balls out of the bath: I've got Oss, Tamouridis, Martens and J-Rod (Venezuela). Hoping for a classics-esque stage (was *this* close to picking Weening, hopefully that won't bite me in the bum).
Evans
Nibali
Uran
Santambrogio
Betancur
Majka
Di Luca
Pellizotti
Navadauskas
Expect a small group at the finish, Di Luca, Evans Santambrogio will probably sprint it out. Also I think Navadauskas could make the finish which is why I took the risk on him over Niemiec
Staying as i am, gives me 8 transfers tomorrow. 17 looks more sprinter friendly
8 transfers... wow...
Seeing as my team is unchanged (and you can find it if you really want) I may as well just announce:
Evans
Nibali
Uran
Santambrogio
Betancur
Majka
Pirazzi
Garzelli
Chalapud
First 6 for GC, last 3 for break points although if it's a decent sized group at the finish I could see Evans and Santambrogio contesting the sprint for red jersey points and maybe Betancur trying to jump away on the last climb to get that illusive stage win.
