    Well i took 20 penalty points to try and make up some ground for todays stage. I then looked at the profile and there’s a bloody hill at the end X(

    So much for it being flat. Hopefully the sprint boys will manage it ok.

    Cant believe 4 stages gone and i’m so far behind !

    I made another 5 changes today to get me back to pretty where I was two days ago, except I’ve spent 60 points in penalties and missed around 80 points from dropping the wrong riders yesterday…

    Degenkolb
    Bouhanni
    Paolini
    Visconti
    Felline all in

    Santambrogio
    Dehaes
    Mezgec
    Gavazzi kept from yesterday

    Feel free to copy my team but after yesterday’s disaster you do so at your peril!

    I already had Cav and Viviani
    I already had Cav and Viviani in, so thought I may as well keep them. The two I brought in are hopefully more the type that won’t be so bothered by the hill. Always have faith in Cav though, he can get up them hills when he wants to!

    Should be OK Stumps, they
    Should be OK Stumps, they seem to be calling it a “false flat” rather than a hill. Most are predicting a sprint, although some of the sprinters might struggle to stay in contention.

    Tomorrow looks a nailed-on sprint anyway, so you should be set up nicely for that too.

    I have a potentially good sprint team set up, so hoping to move up a bit the next 2 days. Managing transfers over Fri/Sat/Sun will be a nightmare though!

    I know i think its the 20 sec bonus at the end, it looks like a massive mistake for me today then as i brought in Cav, Viviani, Bouhanni and Nizzolo #o

    it’s mostly flat 😀

    agree with stevespro though. haven’t gone for the full-on sprinters today. i reckon some of them would make it normally but the big teams seem to want to set a pretty frantic pace up everything bigger than a hump-back bridge this giro

    Cannot see this being one for the out and out sprinters…Have a feeling that some big names will not want the sprinters there at the end…. :/
