    Well its been a good week for many teams, and now my team is in a mess, and looks like I will drop out of the top 20 overall due to the inevitable sprint.

    I was gonna bring in Sagan and Farrar for Meyer and Tejay. I would have liked to bring in Meersman too, but to do that would involve penalty points and taking out Rogers or Craddock, but is it worth it, as Meersman would have to finish at least 5th just to break even 😕

    On the other hand I could avoid Sagan, but that would still involve penalty points, but I fancy Sagan for tonight, to wrap up the points jersey

    Did my transfers yesterday as normal, even though leaving it to the last minute is sometimes advantageous. Only just checked the TV schedule though to see it’s on soon!

    Grrrr, I’m peed off. Should have checked the time, assumed I’d be ok though. Surely they are still having breakfast in Cali! Defending 10th on this tour too. That’s gone now- unless a 15 man break makes it 😀

    Anyways, would have brought in Sagan, farrar, Matthews and meersman, taking 20 point pen, and binning my GC guys in most efficient way to defend GC points. For the record.

    Now I’ll go and mope in my corner….

I think it worked, got 348 for the 2 stages and can now have Sagan, Meersman, Farrar plus one for tonight. You must have picked up 200+ pts on me this week TER – I need a change of fortunes!

    Yup Ive had a pretty good week (not bad in the giro either) Im sure my luck will drop off at some point.
    It defo worked as I only scored 356 over the past two stages. Had I gone for Dennis over DZ, that would have made a big difference. Maybe my big loss was gong for Chavanel when I should have played safe with Frank

    Ive decided just to go with Sagan and Farrar today

    Brought in Sagan yesterday for the points and a full house. Got 5 sprinters today including him with a 10 point pen.
    Sagan, Farrar, Hushovd, Matthews and on a whim Boeckmans plus TJ, Acevedo, Rogers and Mancebo.

Wouldn’t have done it any different with hindsight, I suffered from my lack of knowledge of US riders at the start otherwise I might have been a top 10 contender.

    :?

    Not sure you could say Meersman was suffering, he came 15th yesterday, maybe just lacking some top end speed, but not suffering
