    Afternoon all! They’re 30km in, 2 of my guys already tried to get away but its back together at the mo I think.

    I just swapped Seeldraeyers for Henao – couldn’t cope if I dropped anyone else and they got in a break…

    J-Rod
    Valverde
    Contador
    Henao
    Bouet
    Sarmiento
    De La Fuente
    Astarloza
    Machado

I had him pegged to win today, and was just a little surprised that he couldn’t beat Cataldo at the end.

    REALLY? So 3rd Overall Giro d’Italia this year is tanking and not working??? 👿

    Widgetkicker and cherrypicked – looks like we may have it for top spot today barring a strange Cataldo team – same team for me as well. I’m curious to see how far up the overall table I get vaulted. de Gendt has been my hero this season – his exploits on the stelvio won me the bike during the Giro, and now this!

    Anyway, my team was De Gendt, Rodriguez, Contador, Valverde, Quintana, Talansky, Marczyinski, Simon Clarke and Winner Anacona. 229 points by my count and I’m calling it a win unless someone has the exact same team.

    That should win just, but does a combination of Valverde and Contador outscore 7 points from froome in the GC + Cataldo, dont forget cataldo got 10 points for most combative too. Its gonna be tight but we shall see. ( the thing that will save you is the fact the finish line climb points dont count otherwise im certain cataldo would score enough)

    forgot you had clarke too, you will win

    2,3,4,5,6,8,16,19+Clarke. Just no Cataldo – surely there won’t be many that have Cataldo?!

    Are we playing ‘fantasy team
    Are we playing ‘fantasy team snap’?

    The winning team will have de Gendt, Valverde, Contador, Rodriguez , Quintana and Cataldo, the rest won’t really matter. At least one team should have those.

    Ter, once the scores are out, combine your transfer and purist. I bet we are pretty close that way 👿

    3,4,5,6,9,18,19 plus Clarke. Not a bad day, but my guess is quite players a few may also of had a “not a bad day”. 😕
