    I might get a first hand view
    I might get a first hand view of the cruel side of the new transfer rules tomorrow morning. I’m leading by 20 points before the last stage, I’ve got two sprinters in my team and two transfers left, and yet, if my calculations are correct :B , my chances of winning the competition are pretty slim… guess who might be ranting about the bloody new rules by this time tomorrow 😉

    I only had one transfer left
    I only had one transfer left but already had Wippert, Boni and Lobato in my team. Put Kittel in but it was a struggle to take any of the GC boys out. Impey went eventually. #guaranteedpoints

    I like the new transfer
    I like the new transfer system, 5 stages down in the TDU and for the last stage i have 4 transfers left with 2 sprinters already in my team so i’m happy about that.

    Not such a big deal in TDU
    Not such a big deal in TDU because only 6 stages, and bonus seconds mean that GC contenders are always striving to be at the front, so same riders are scoring most of points.

    But think it will be a lot worse in a 3 week grand tour without penalty trades, particularly if there are injury withdrawals to favourite riders. Trade limitations mean luck is a bigger factor.

    New transfer policy not
    New transfer policy not conclusive yet, I think. Due to the alternation of stages in the TDU (sprint/hard-men-sprint/summit-finnish/sprint/summit-finish/sprint) I pretty much did the changes I would have normally done. 2nd overall so far, but that is as high as I’ll go, I think, cause I’ve sort of messed up two transfers I should have kept…
