    Good God, I have no idea who to put in. Is it time to swap out Thor?

    He did it in 2009 when he stayed with the breakaway over a load of Cat 1 climbs to take all the intermediate sprint points. But he generally got dropped on those climbs and made it up on the descents, I can’t see him hacking it with the GC boys on the last climb especially if Bertie tries to make back some time. So far he hasn’t shown any interest in intermediate points but I think he has a better chance of green than anyone else on the Garmin team given he can get over some big hills.

    Stuck in a similar conundrum
    Stuck in a similar conundrum here. Need to change at least half my team with just 2 transfers 🙁

    Money’s stuck in Gilbert & Thor but have a feeling they’ll be in decent state tomorrow. They’ll suffer day after, but tomorrow they just might survive and deliver some points.

    Wanna swap out Miller too but confused if I should go with more assured GC points of Frank Schlek or possible mega points a Vockler, Vino or Chavenel might earn with a successful break away.

    Did I mention, I wanna get in Jerome Pineu, Klodi, Dupont & Sorensen.

    Can I pick a new team for rest of the race? Por favor!

    Thats the whole problem, Hushovd knows he’s going to lose the yellow and knows he can get through the mountains better than Cav and Rojas, not sure about Gilbert, but i think he’ll go for points to try and get in on the green

    Dammit, today was the first
    Dammit, today was the first day I haven’t had any need to make a transfer, shame I can’t say the same tonight. After being in a really strong position today’s events have royally screwed my team. I need to decide who to dump out of Thor and Gilbert to free up money to replace Wiggo. Thinking Gilbert for Frank Schleck and Wiggo for Kloden is the best I can do.

    You could always pick up
    You could always pick up Uran, it’s not as if he’s got anyone else to work for now so why not go after something else like Polka Dot or stage wins. Of those three I’d probably drop Hushovd although I’m not completely convince he won’t get points tomorrow. It all depends on how hard the GC guys who are off the pace go. Contador could really blow a hole in the field if he goes hard and early.

    Tell me about it, i’ve still got 1 transfer, but i have Evans, Gilbert and Hushovd, so i dont know which one to chop for some cash so i can replace Mollema for someone else that can climb

    I’ve hung onto Gilbert too and dumped Hushovd to try and free up some cash for a decent GC guy. This was all so much easier when I had a boat load of cash…

    That’s what I’m thinking. I was going to hang onto Gilbert for tomorrow (I swapped EBH for him yesterday which was good, but then he lost the green on the intermediate, so bit of a loss all round.) Thinking of drafting Evans in and a cheaper sprinter.

    Well that all depends on your other riders, you want to have someone can go up hill apart from your GC and KM

    Thor may be well outta the GC 2moro BUT he might still be get you some green jersey points, the same with Gilbert
