    Again, I’ll probably live to regret my changes. Had fancied Anton for this one but form suggests otherwise. Perhaps a toss up between Gorka and Ion if going for a Euskatel rider in support of Sanchez.

    I’ve been using Cyclingnews
    I’ve been using Cyclingnews for my results.

    There are two ‘sprint’ jerseys, one is a points jersey awarded based on finishing positions, the second is a sprints jersey based on intermediate sprints.

    For this race the intermediate sprint jersey is being scored as this is in line with previous years and the Volta Catalunya where the same was in place. This also means that we’re scoring the competition as a whole (both the actual intermediate sprints themselves and the overall competition for these sprints)

    Yesterday Txurruka took all three sprints so he has a large enough lead that he can’t really be overtaken today.

    Agreed, Txurruka will still have both the sprint and mountains jersey I think so that’s 10 points there. I also think Cardoso or one of the other Caja Rurual guys might be put in the break to hoover up KoM points so you might get lucky there too.

    Barguil has been going well and he’s in my DS team so I’ve been keeping an eye on him, he’s a strong climber but I think at this point not strong enough to compete at the finish so he might go in the break today/tomorrow, we’ll see. Argos need to do something though as they’ve been fairly invisible this season so far.

    :/ please excuse my ignorance but where do you get the information about a sprint jersey wearer? I can see Txurruca has the mountains jersey and Gavazzi has the points jersey but what is the sprint jersey?

    Thanks

    I was tempted by Ellissonde
    I was tempted by Ellissonde but after he tanked at Catalunya I’m wondering if he’s as amazing as we all thought he was at the start of the season.

    Also, Andy Schleck?!

    Agreed, Txurruka will still have both the sprint and mountains jersey I think so that’s 10 points there. I also think Cardoso or one of the other Caja Rurual guys might be put in the break to hoover up KoM points so you might get lucky there too.

    That is true, but with only 4
    That is true, but with only 4 transfers it wasn’t worth tinkering with the GC guys I already had. I see you went Barguil, that was the one choice I had Pineau or Barguil and went Pineau as he has a good possibility of going in a break, or if he is on form he can climb with best and come in 11th-20th, but it seems Cardoso is my big wild card compared to other teams, and decided to play it safe with a few points from Txurukka as I think he will still have the jersey.
