    I’m back on the bike… A few

    I’m back on the bike… A few issues on the home front having me missing deadlines this past week and relegating fantasy cycling down a peg or two for a while…hopefully all done now….fingers crossed.

    Well done sniffer for calling
    Well done sniffer for calling it. Too funny you didn’t pick him though!

    My defensive strategy worked out well pulling in 5th place on the day for my best ever finish.
    Confession due though that leaving Bettiol in was frankly blind luck in not having enough transfers as I’d have swapped him out….

    So not a total loss.

    Edit: question is, one transfer left, will it be Dennis or Dumoulin?

    Look who was last today.  That is someone saving their legs for tomorrow.

    I predicted Campanaerts, but didn’t pick him!

    TT isn’t a huge money spinner, and if you miss the mark it can cost in the end. I’ve ruined many a TT in the past.

    As it happens I decided Dennis would be on better form than Campanaerts based on days raced this year and, well……

    I agree ITTs can be a bit hit and miss. The other year when the mountain stage was cancelled I ended up with loads of transfers left and brought in loads of ITT riders for this stage. Half of them didn’t make top 10 and sticking with GC guys would have been better.

    Interesting how many players

    Interesting how many players have left enough transfers to bring in the big TT players today.  

    I couldn’t pick between them when planning my week from the outset so left fewer transfers for today and in a defensive mindset actually brought GC riders back in who already have decent points in the jersey competitions.  My team:

     

    Dumoulin

    Roglic

    Yates

    Fulglsang

    Emden

    Lutsenko

    Langvelde 

    Bettiol

     

    I’m 4th at present and not expecting big points today – just to limit the losses.  Hoping to hold on for a top 10 though….

    Which probably means, Campanaerts, Dumoulin & Kragh Andersen do well, Ganna too maybe.

    I didn’t go Campanaerts either, but I brought in Dumoulin with Dennis.

    Roglic, Yates, Hepburn and then Roche, Gesink, Bettiol making up the numbers.

    Like your team better than mine.

    Ridiculously I have 3 more points in my Purist team than my Standard team.  Purist team going really well though in third (it won yesterday’s stage where I dropped the winner in standard).

     

    I have Poels, Ganna and Bettiol instead of Hepburn, castro and Velasco.

    Now Dumoulin will win it.

    I ditched Alaphillpe too and brought 3 sprinters in. Viv and Gav didn’t pan out well but Cimolai saved me – still a dream race after the mess I made of Paris Nice though! 3 left for tomorrow to switch the sprinters back out….

    I brought Gaviria & Viviani

    I brought Gaviria & Viviani in.

    Similar thing happened in Oman, people who had saved transfers for the last sprint lost out to people without transfers after Bonifazio rode the top picks off the road.

    5 transfers left for tomorrow, which usually means something unexpected will happen and people withbno transfers beat me.
