    1,2,3 and Talansky and
    1,2,3 and Talansky and Moreno. 165 and 8= on the stage. Valverde is really doing the business for me. Won stage 17 with him in TdF (started using the Bryton I won for that now – not bad at all although only just learning how to use it), now dug me out of a hole today after messing up yesterday (only had Swift and not a lot else).

    A real race today, good to see Contador’s aggression (let’s hope it’s clean aggression). Froome struggling but hung on. Cobo lost a lot of time, looks like Valverde is the leader now as I don’t think he was just stage hunting today. Purito well in the mix. Not sure Froome will win this one though, reckon it’s between the 3 Spaniards.

    You might regret not having him today

    Winner, 1st in GC, 2nd in points and also got the Combat number ;)

    You may be right but I’m playing the long game so I picked riders for both today and tomorrow. If I picked Valverde I wouldn’t have been able to afford all three of Contador, Froome and Rodriguez and the points lost on one of those today and tomorrow vs the potential points gain from Valverde (and maybe Anton over Henao) was worth it in my opinion. I still think Valverde may struggle tomorrow and I’ll come out on top, maybe 😕
    And Valverde was always going to be a risk and I’ve learned this year that generally, risks don’t pay off.

    Anyway, that’s the fun of this game, until we’ve run all the stages everything can still change.

    Yeah, I’m concerned about Machado too… 149 riders listed on the Vuelta site, and he ain’t among ’em. The Withdrawals list only has Gasparotto.

    I wonder if he got lost along the way today?

    Oh yeah – combativity doesn’t score. I hadn’t noticed that either, never mind. I had Valverde but not a lot else (Mollema, Anton). However, there were a number of interesting losses…
    De Gendt – lost 2:07
    Quintana lost 2:57
    Van Den Broek lost 3:23

    Wonder what happened to Machado? A lot of us had him in, but the top 140 or so are now confirmed, and he ain’t among them… 😕
