Cyclists have the right to use the roads— they are public roads, not bus, car, or HGV roads.

One winner today
1 Liestronger tfrawley 205
2,4,5,6,9,10,13 plus Edet.
Very relieved, was so close to picking Pauwels so would've been gutted if he'd have won!
Have left myself enough credits to bring in Rodriguez for Nibali tomorrow which might be an idea...
I'm sick of this Vuelta. Pensioners in red, sprinters who can't remember when to sprint, breakaways every day and then I finally get 3 in the break on a day when everyone expected it to go all the way and the GC boys decide they want to play. Can't be bothered with changes until Sunday and then I'll probably pick 6 sprinters who decide to go home.
4,5,6,8,9,10,11 stage
1,2,3,5,7,8,9 gc
Not sure about any break points today ......I do know I've a few changes for tomorrow though
4,5,6,8,9,10
1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12
2,5,6,9,10
No idea what the situation was with mountains points.
Horner now leads by three seconds...
1,4,5,8,12
Nerz was my pick and he's in the break, but brought him in for arroyo who is also in the break. Arroyo in purists tho. If no-one from the break wins, my money is on Sammy...
I brought in Carlos Alberto Betancur as a long shot. He moved up from 129th to 127th on GC yesterday and I think it could be the start of a late surge. After all he is now just 18 seconds behind Fabricio Ferrari. I heard that Ferrari has lost a lot of sleep just thinking about that time gap. I wouldn't want to be in Klaas Lodewyck's shoes over the next 3 days. Apparently they smell.
I had this stage down as a massive break group, I was right, just my rider's didn't go for it. I took in Hoogerland and Van Summeren
Hoogerland has pulled out.....
Took a gamble....Not that it will harm my awful Vuelta performance..
Purito and Nibs out
Sammy Sanchez and Valverde in
No changes for me either.....ideal thing for me would be for Edet and Choo-Choo to get out there and fight for those KOM points whilst a nightmare would be a Purito stage win.
Incidentally did ANYONE have Kiryienka yesterday?
I had him.... on Monday and Tuesday....
Ouch...that's gotta hurt!!
Pretty much same here, though Nocentini finding himself in a breakaway would also be a welcome development.
Nightmare!!
nearly made a snap swap for Pinot to Ulisi but closed just as was gonna press the button
Bah!
hum. been staring at the screen for a while. tick tock. thinking sammy sanchez, mollema, scarponi will all fancy it. but, transfers transfers... done nowt in the end. boring snoring johnny2names
