    So many choices….

    This is where I really love this game. Spot on to the organisers the values make it a tough choice in an interesting race.

    The obvious thing was to pop in His Nibs and Froomey and I think that would probably be the best option, but I have gone off piste and put in a couple of Swiss guys, Spilak, and Peraud instead. Added in a mid range Frenchie who is a real gamble and left in a blanked out MM, so going with an eight man team. I really wanted to bring in TJ but couldn’t make it work. Talansky and Uran were also carefully considered, and of course there was that couple of Paxo Stink of Cheeses that I wanted in too. My big problem is the romantic in me did’nt want to take out the big Pole, so I have left him in, and taken 20 penalties. TBH I cannot see how I can win the stage but, it’s fun trying all the different variations.

    Doing well in this one so
    Doing well in this one so spent a while mulling over the options – really enjoyed working out all the different permutations!

    Had to decide whether to just use one penalty transfer and keep Kittel & Nizzolo for tomorrow, or use three pens in order to bring in two more climbers. Went with the latter, so starting today on minus 30…

    Went Froome over Nibali more because I’d be keeping them til the end and expecting Froome to outscore Nibs over the three stages.

    Leaves me with…

    Froome, Spilak, Talansky, Frank
    Tschopp, Zoidl
    Kern, Gaudin, Hivert

    More pens to come over the next 2 days methinks…

    Similar, gone for Nibs and
    Similar, gone for Nibs and Peraud plus a couple of Movistar lads but no Froome. If it had finished on a peak it would be Froome for Nibs but looking at that downhill section to the line its made for Nibs.
