    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 😕

    Lastras was in the break when he crashed, and the break looks like staying out, so he would almost certainly have been scoring high today too. That probably doesn’t help, does it? 😉

    They mentioned he was off the back about an hour ago, trying hard to spot Goss in the main bunch but too many Katusha riders have the same colour jersey!

    From Cycling News – “We’re hearing that Tyler Farrar has crashed out of the Giro.”

    Re Benatti – I doubt many people brought him in for today, but of course many (including me) may still have him in from before. My plan was to drop him after today, I ran out of transfers yesterday…

    Sorry if you picked up Bennati for today

    Navardauskas is a minute down on the peloton .Bennati was dropped with him, a testament to how tough today’s finish. Pozzato is in the peloton, he’s a good bet for today if the break is caught.

    Great weather today, felt like a Pro for 5mins in the sun streaming though the Usk Valley.

    I suppose 5 points is better than the zero I’d have got from Haedo (expect him to roll home last now)

    If he doesn’t finish the stage he won’t classify for the KoM competition so won’t be top 5 at the end of the day.

    I’m not sure what’ll happen to his actual KoM points from today though as that’s not exactly spelled out in the rules. I’d expect him to get todays points but nothing else.

    Will Lastras still score some points for being top 5 KOM (assuming he’s in the top 5 at the end of the stage) even though he’s out of the race?

    Looks like Lastras is out, had trouble breathing after the crash. Navardauskas is 1,5 minute down, so will probably lose pink.

    I’m beginning to feel quite smug about not making many transfers:

    We’re hearing over race radio that Lastras has crashed. He attacked after Rubiano but has come down.

    I’m just waiting for it all to go horribly wrong.
