    I think the answer to this one is simple. Cav must win or else he may as well go home (I think he would have sewn up the jersey had it not been for Ferrari and that stupidly tight corner)

    So he will go into my team for J-Rod

    The problem is looking to sunday as well as tomorrow and the remaining mountain stages, think im gonna risk just having two sprinters tomorrow to aid me in the last stage

    16th on the stage with the 10
    16th on the stage with the 10 points for the correct J-Rod to come(although I’m figuring everyone will have him barring straight J-Rod for Cav swaps). 😕

    I’m happy with that result. Guardini & Cav are two of the most popular sprinters, so I wouldn’t have made up any ground if I took this stage seriously. Bring on Milan B-).

    Whoopy doo. I brought in guardini, cav and soupe today for basso txurreta and by useless outsider garate. Got to be happy with that. Now need pozzovivo in tomorrow I think.

    Yeah, dissapointed in Modolo, not the amazing day I’d hoped for but enough to keep me in contention. May have been better off picking Cav and Ferrari but it’s still nice to pick the winner.

    Not sure if there are any and
    Not sure if there are any and they’re likely to fall after the first big climb on which he’ll probably be dropped.

    If Rodriguez gets dropped and doesn’t finish top 6 over the next two days then he might win but J-Rod looks to be in too good form for that to happen.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Cav packs it in now, not point killing himself for nothing.

    ha ha great day for me too, Guardini earned me a few 10 pointers for being last man in the mountains and I kept him for today and the next 2 stages. With Hunter and Cav as well I am gloating about my 1-2-4 today!!!

    Got to be happy with that as the three I bought in went 1st,2nd and 4th plus even Rabottini will get bonuses for being luminous.

    Nearly went for Ferrari over Ventoso but thought he might try it with it being a year since Tondo died yesterday.

    Nice to see Hunter up there too (although he’s not in my team).
