    Presumably it’s Froome’s now, but the rest of the podium is up for grabs. I think it’ll be Spilak and Kelderman, with Costa narrowly missing out.

    Poor for me today – biggest mistake was choosing Boaro over Malori, but there were plenty of others! Surprised Kelderman and Tuft weren’t higher, and that Spilak and Westra were so good. Picking Brajkovic over Spilak yesterday probably cost me close to 100 points!

    Purists may have done OK thanks to Martin, Ludvigsson, Rui Costa and Porte – started 12th so hoping for a top 10 badge. Hopefully used up my crap picks this week and can get some better luck in the Giro…

    EDIT – purists actually dropped 5 places! Nev’mind…

    Yes. I actually beat your purists by 1 point! In fact my purists beat my standard by 42 points, which is unheard of for me. Didn’t take this one too seriously to be honest. Had Martin and Malori for the wrong TT! Hope I do better in Giro as well, (but I will be doing a lot more research and taking a bit longer than one minute to make my picks each day – may go stage hunting more than trying to win the bike and to hell with my overall position.)

    My first GT next, bit nervous! I’m already pretty certain my purist will be a disaster….

    Many thanks. I finally feel I understand this game, but that’ll all change come the Giro. Good luck all!

    I actually used three penalty transfers but got them in early after the prologue so I didn’t need any at the weekend.

    In hindsight I wished I’d used one more to bring in Mezgec but I can’t complain too much, as far as I’m concerned he came out of nowhere.

    I felt like I was making lots of mistakes with my transfers in this race, so to finish 6th is a bit of a surprise. Now bring on the Giro. 😀

    Moved up into the top ten for the tour so very happy. A good day and I did well picking up Martin and Spilak for Porte and Talansky, Kelderman disappointed but still got me GC and young rider points, once again I totally forgot about Malori though!

    blew that big time, was 2nd in yorkshire and a couple places outside top 10 overall but no chance of keeping either of them i recon, should have got rid of pinot for malori and taken the penalty hit…fortune favours the brave, and i was a coward! grrr
