Stage 7 La Vuelta

I’m hoping that my transfer
I’m hoping that my transfer of Chavenal coupled with tommorrows transfer out of avertmaet for sutton will leave me enough for Nibali ready for the ITT. . . .. need to do some sums tonight, but who ends up with most points in Wiggo wins the ITT and ends up 10th in the GC whilst Nibali finishes say 7th in the ITT but 1st in the GC. . . . so im thinking Nibali

Interesting discourse GK and
Interesting discourse GK and Ter. Some stats perchance.

Gkam i have scope to catch you in the vuelta, and with only 3 events, i believe, after the vuelta, u need to make a few more points on me before the vuelta finishes to catch me overall but its gonna be close, we should both finish about 100th overall unless either of us has a distaster

Touch wood, i’d be quite happy to make the top 100 out of the 5610 teams, ok some of them have not played all season, but quite alot have, about 3000 were around at the start of the game

It will be interesting if we continue on our almost opposite paths till the end of la vuelta to see who comes out on top and then only Cycliste de Montreal and two world champ events to make up any lost ground

yup hopefully, yh think it may have been as high as 3600 that have competed for most of the season, but as bad a start i have had in the vuelta scoring just 3 the other day im still 400 and something

Yup it will although im heading more towards your style of team now, although wiggins will stay purely for monday, i now have one DS that you have (the obvious choice) and my other transfer did well on a simlar finsih to 2morrow the other day. But while you have mollema im expecting cobo to continue to come good over the next week.

Im sure there is a sky rider in the cycliste that most people will pick along with an OPL rider (or should do as i expect him to top 3 behind the OPL rider) so cant see too much scoring differences in that, however the worlds will be interesting especially if it gets blown apart and i could see more than a 50 point difference if people dont get lucky with picks

So I will ignore it and Chavenel is sacked ! I’ll bring a real rider in instead to replace him . . . or am I being NAIVE ?
(Does anyone work out my cryptic clues?)

I get this one, but not your last so YOU’S KA TEL us now? :evil:

Yeh i get this too, i wouldnt for tomorrow but i would be tempted for sunday, but as it is the TT the day after and he would require a transfer to get him out i would be tempted to wait until after the rest day but i could quite easily see him in my team come wednesday

They have already been on the same team when they both rode for Thuringer Enegie Team, and it looks like Degenglob was the top man.

with HTC folding i’ll wait to see where he goes, it may be the making of him, but it could swing the other way

As mentioned above, he’s already signed with Skil Shimano.
