    Something for the weekend sir?

    Or spend those transfers on a couple of cheap sprinters. penalties won’t work, Oh what to do?

    Go stage hunting like Wig Billy?

    After yesterdays disaster all my plans are in tatters, I haven’t got a clue.

    Soldier on like Nairo and hope for a comeback in the mountains.

    I’m not sure I’ve had any breakaway points yet, usually my men go the day after I take them out.

    Most of the people I’ve picked for breaks have been in breaks, just not on the days I’ve picked them. Romero today. Think a tactical review is in order…

    Just GC for me, sacked off today in favour of getting my team right for the mountains and banking some transfers, time to stage hunt.

    Cav was incredible last year
    Cav was incredible last year in the Giro, the only way he could win the points jersey would have been to win every single sprint finish, which he did (excluding the one where he got dropped on the climb and Degenkolb won). And all after missing out by one point in 2012. One of his biggest achievements for me.

    Took 3 pens and packed it with sprinters and gc guys so the penalty points are negated just hope I can get a 123 as it’s the single easy to get badge I haven’t yet gained ~X(

    Cav was amazing although I always tend to have him when he crashes and not when he does well so he’s a conundrum for me.

    Just brought in Bouhanni and a couple of cheap guys for the break although there aren’t many points on offer today. But with it being a nailed on sprint only a couple of fools will go out there and I hope they are my couple of fools.

    Got my transfers planned for tomorrow and then I hope to be able to save the odd one or two for later but it depends how things go.

    Rain forecast for later this afternoon though but I hope there won’t be any more crashes. The Giro always has too many of them. Boring low-scoring stage but I can watch it so I will just so I know who’s been in a crash. Thank god everyone else had Malori yesterday. Very odd ITT. (Probably after saying this something amazing will happen!)

    Took two penalties for today
    Took two penalties for today but the differential, as it were, will be worth it, barring a big old crash (eminently possible, of course) or improbably high finishes for Hepburn and De Gendt.

    After today, I might need one pen but that should be it; in fact with any luck I’ll be getting some back in the bank. I’ve two 3-pointers in the squad which leaves plenty of flexibility elsewhere.

    I really want Nizzolo to win today and shake up the points contest. Still a damned shame that Kittel only cameo-ed in the Giro, no doubt he saw that Cavendish underperformed at the last TdF in part because he had a full Giro in his legs.

    Anyone else think Cav doesn’t quite get enough credit for that red jersey win last year, by the way? A fantastic achievement, especially before this year’s rule change upweighting points on sprint stages.

    I’m writing off today and
    I’m writing off today and have made GC transfers, so I have no pens for tomorrow. Still have Bouhanni, so just need to swap him for Quintana after today and I’m ready for a big weekend in the mountains!
