    So who’s your main man/men for today?

    I haven’t got a clue who i’m going to put in.

    I could play safe and put a couple of guys who will score from the GC, but i already have Cav, GT and Nava. So i’m not sure.

    I was going to start making my climbers come in, but there are still flat stages to come and the big climbs don’t really hit till stage 14. Most others the punchy sprinters should manage. Not the likes of Cav and Farrar though đŸ˜•

    Finalised my transfers, brought in Rodriguez, Hesjedal and Sella, nearly went for Pirazzi as a. breakaway man but think he’s too high in the GC at the minute. Also very nearly went for Gatto who’s well down and probably up for a breakaway today or tomorrow.

    Neither do I đŸ˜‰ scored 32 for last stage and move up 17 spots in the Giro comp.

    Today is loooong uphill drag 19km at about 4%, with nasty 10% section just before finish thinking JRod, Gasparotto, Cunego
    Tomorrow another summit finish almost, 10km @ 6%, followed by 4km flat again punchers or real climbers is my dilemma
    Monday is flat downhill, Cav & Goss to shine after “resting” for 2 days
    Tuesday ends in a TA style race through town with short nasty climb on cobbles at end JRod, Gasparotto again
    Wednesday almost a repeat of stage 5 flat, then lumpy stuff 11km from end, then flat finish, Goss unless somebody takes a flyer.
    Thursday ….

    Always looking at the long game

    Question now is how to use my three transfers, thinking:

    Cavendish, Thomas & Navardauskas for
    Hesjedal, J-Rod and Sella/Pozzovivo

    But that feels a bit conservative and maybe a bit early for Rodriguez/Pozzovivo. Would have Goss left for sprints, Gasparatto for small hills and Lancaster, Demare, Kristoff and Guardini just taking up space.

    It’s at times like this that I realise that I really have no idea what I’m doing.

    Didn’t even consider Rubiano this morning (other than in passing) so not too miffed I missed out, although the 70-something points he’ll probably get for KoM points, KoM jersey, GC and stage win will make a few people very happy.

    Yes, he did. Very happy. After screwing up yesterday’s stage I thought I was going to drop like a stone today as well. Instead I jumped up a lot and didn’t waste any transfers even, due to site problems and not sure who to put in. So put in 4 today as I expect it’ll go more to form over the next couple of days.

    Put Rubiano in a couple of days ago and even yesterday he scored a few points as he was 3rd in mountain and 17th. My only good pick recently but it’s the second time I’ve got a big breakaway winner, Clarke in the Tour Down Under was the last. I think he scored about 65 points, Rubiano got 69. Must be the highest individual score of any rider. Didn’t win the stage though, the winner had Malori and Golas!
