    Stumps

    After todays heroics by the breakaway to saty out all day what about stage 15 ?

    Will Hesjedal have the legs to go again or will J-Rod et al drop him.

    Only time will tell.

    A lot of buzz around Rujano
    A lot of buzz around Rujano pre-giro(and during). 😕

    Not sure if he’s justifying it(although I’ll probably regret saying that come Journey’s End).

    Quote:Two riders have tried

    Two riders have tried their luck and broken clear: Guillaume Bonnafond of AG2R and Matteo Rabottini (Farnese Vini). They have 1:45 on the peloton.

    Dammit, considered Rabottini for today too 🙁

    Tiralongo
    Pozzovivo
    Sella (almost went Pirazzi, it was 50/50)
    Slagter (nearly went Clement, again, 50/50 decision)
    Golas

    Fingers crossed my transfers pay off but I may regret dropping Rubiano if he decides to go after the 4 category climbs today.

    Also nearly went for Pietropolli now he’s out of it GC-wise.

    Well my team know
    Well my team know is

    J-Rod
    Hesjedal
    Uran
    Haeno

    Tiralongo
    Huzarski
    Slagter
    Caruso
    Pozzovivo

    My question is will there be a point at which J-Rod should be dropped from my team? to free up some credits 😕

    In an ideal world i would like to replace Haeno for Gadret, however will never be able to raise enough credits to do that without dropping J-rod, and the only one i would drop him for (scarponi) still wouldnt raise enough credits

    I’m not happy with my stars but who knows they may shine today. Dropped the same guys and taken a risk with an Italian from near this area, not bad at climbing and a young Italian from not far away – maybe wants to make a name for himself. Probably going to lose ground as they’re unlikely to come off. The safe thing to do would be to bring Purito and Hesjedal back in but I can’t be bothered to play safe now.

    Got 3rd on the stage in TOC in any case so haven’t entirely lost my touch on climbing stages!!

    Me too, my 4 stars plus Pozzovivo are all up there in GC, so I’m taking risks with the other 4 DS positions just to see what happens really. Brought in 2 Italians today, one who is very local to the next couple of stages so fingers crossed he fancies having a go…

    The climbs don’t look quite as steep today, but the descents do…

    I backed Hesjedal 2 weeks ago at 40-1, so its beginning to get interesting…

    No, that is his game but at least he doesn’t fall to pieces like Rujano.
