    Transfer hell!

    There are going to have to be penalties every day, hmmm.

    I’m doing badly in this, so will probably go stage-hunting, eg make my TT transfers a day early so I don’t incur pens on the day, that kind of thing. Will end up with some very poor stages, but hopefully a couple of really good ones as well.

    My main hope of getting something out of this is backing Kelderman at 150/1 each-way a few weeks ago…

    To be honest I was shocked that after last years effort’s that Lampre’ didn’t make Ulissi leader from the get go, Neimeinc is ancient, Especially with Scarp gone and Cunego isn’t up to it.
    I thought Ulissi would have lead at home GT for Sure. I cant understand them selecting a Polish rider to lead in Giro, so very un-Italian.

    Looking at my team for the next few days I will be surprised if I don’t incur at least 100 points over the next 5 stages. 11 is made for Ulissi, but if he goes then all the GC guys go. I’m not sure he will risk it.

    Not so sure, so long a you axe the right riders.

    10 = sprint
    11 = taylor made for Ulissi (maybe a break, or maybe even Matthews)
    12 = ITT can’t see any outstanding favourites from a TT perspective (seems a bit long/hilly for some of the Orica guys), although me and you have my 2 top tips (certainly from a GC perspective)
    13 = another sprint
    14 = GC
    15 = GC

    I think penalties will be needed as you say but I think you can manage it quite well to make as few as possible. (ie. not gonna change Godoy or Chicchi for tomorrow, not worth it is it, to swap for another 3 point guy for this stage)
