Go!
Not telling anyone who I’ve picked till the window’s closed, but I’ve taken a few risks on this one. Anyone else got anything they want to say?

Actually, really wtf? – the 3 above haven’t changed position so how did I drop 3 places from (probably) 4th to 4th? Not an important point – I’m just curious.Could the 3 have just joind the West Mids League?
2 of them are NeilG83 and TERatcliffe26 who’ve been there for ages. The league now shows them as having swapped positions (2<->3) and 1st remaining in 1st (grey arrow), whilst I went down 4 to 3. I’m not really bothered by any of this – it just looked odd.ray silvester

That would be a great badge…..we could call it the ‘Matt White Doh!!’ award?

Left Gavazzi in as was convinced he would continue to lingerat the back. It was always 50/50 for a lanterne rouge. Gutted to loose the points. Took out Neimec for Pirazzi which is ok as he outscored Neimec in the end but I toyed with Pirazzi in for Santambrogio for ages. I don’t know if I’ve done well or not today now. 🙁 🙂 🙁 🙂 🙁 🙂 🙁 🙂drheaton
I think tomorrow could go
I think tomorrow could go either way. If Cav can place in the top three he pretty much wraps up the Maglia Rossa (assuming he podiums on 21) so I think he’ll be keen to have a break brought back and Viviani still seems to have designs on the jersey too as he’s been racing for minor placing at the sprints throughout the race so there’s motivation to have a sprint tomorrow.On the other hand I agree that plenty of teams are stage hunting and plenty of riders are being aggressive which threatens a sprint. I think it may come down to what GreenEdge want to do tomorrow. If they have confidence in Goes then theyll bring the break back and set up Cav for the win, otherwise if Weening gets in the break they may let it go and we might see a breakaway win.
Given the peloton pulled back a 22 man group today I can’t see a break being given too much leeway so I’m going for a sprint finish.

171, Uran to Caruso cost me
171, Uran to Caruso cost me 18 points and he was in the break all day and didn’t get a single point. Otherwise I would have had a full house. Cannondale have been useless in this race and they’re an Italian team!!! I was hoping for something for them today but won’t bother with them again, (Viviani will win tomorrow now of course). But my other transfers made a profit so not all bad. My mistake came on Sat. night when I took out Pirazzi thinking it would be a shortened stage and then it wasn’t. Should’ve waited till the morning then but glad I brought him back today. Waste of 2 transfers though. Sammy didn’t score me many points but at least he had a go!! He might try again tomorrow.Probably take one risk tomorrow but not a sprinter, more an AR guy. Not convinced it’ll be a sprint with a reasonable climb near the end, at least 1k at 10%+ if you haven’t done the research, and plenty of people going on the attack.

Doesn’t that also mean everyone loses any points he earned them during the entire Giro? What about badges?rules have changed this year: DQs lose points for the stage but keep them for previous stages.
have to remove his LR points then folks, sorry 🙂
I couldn’t decide what to do
I couldn’t decide what to do and since I had to go over to my brother’s first thing, I just left it alone. 193 pts! Only thing is, I need to move house – green arrows across the board except for the W.Mids region league where I dropped 3 places. WTF? -
