    Thinking of doing the same; he has always done better at LBL.

    Took a huge gamble picking my team yesterday just logged on and that desicion has backfired badly

    7 greyed ot riders think that my penalty points will be much higher than my score this stage X( Pig sick doesn’t even come close!!

    2 stars will get changed by me for both races. And as you say form will now play a big part. but I think those thinking drastic changes, Haneo came in 21st, Valverde came in 22nd and Rodriguez 24th. I wouldnt be surprised if those 3 were in the top 10 along with say Vanendert, F Schleck and Mollema

    I’m not sure what to do either. Need something to work. Think the next two will go more with form though. Changing two stars at least, maybe three.

    two of my grey outs were Gerrans and Westra (He wasn’t down to ride th last time I had checked) and Cunego my other. Knew about them all. As it seems Nordhaug will now ride, my plans arn’t as messed up as they were. I just cant remember the plan of transfers I came up with yesterday 😕

    Man, under the circumstances, I would be ok with people being able to reset their whole team…

    I wouldn’t, its the beauty of the game, it shakes it up abit. What would it be if it was easy? It may be frustrating at times, but it makes you think and gives you a challenge

    Why should those that ended up doing really well effectively be punished for managing to pick well, just because the majority have not done so well? Its the same rules for all, some will always do better/pick better than others

    Only 2 grey-outs this time, one of which I knew about, Gerrans. Westra the other – maybe something happened to him, I’m not sure as he was down to ride.

    However, it can cut both ways as I was a bit wary of Freire, who I knew wasn’t riding, and Sagan as well, partly because of his crash and that I didn’t entirely believe the team website when they said he was more or less ok and also that he wasn’t down for FW. That would have been 3 stars out and the poss. of more if crashes etc. intervened. Lost me some points though!!

    Ignore my email whining about grey outs Dave. I’m up to speed now with 4 greys – waiting for confirmation salvation. I’m waiting on Valverde myself but I presume Visconti has gone home where it’s warm? Thank god for Sagan and his sweet 30 points yesterday or I’d feel like right loser… 😉

    Decisions, decisions .If I ditch both Boom and Tankink what’s the bet they finish 1-2 on Wednesday? 😀
