    I heard that – I got 76 yesterday (including 10 penalty pts) and came 31st on the stage!

    71 including a 30 point penalty, without the penalty I’d have been joint second on the stage.

    My mare is today’s selections. For once I’m doing well, but keeping the momentum going is making it harder.

    Yes, I’m hoping to make no
    Yes, I’m hoping to make no more transfers until Saturday, quite happy with my team for the next 2 days.

    Climb looks (to my untrained eye) to be steeper and closer to the finish today – might be a bit more selective? Avoiding people like Ferrari just in case – prefer to stick with Meersman and Nizzolo. Hoping BMC will work for Dani Wyss rather than Blythe today…

    After a reasonable day
    After a reasonable day yesterday I don’t think I’ll make any changes. I’d consider bringing in Ferrari but that’s about it. Right now, its all about saving transfers for Saturday and Sunday.
