    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?

    Yeah, it’ll just be a
    Yeah, it’ll just be a standard DNF rather than a drugs DQ and stripping of points.

    179 for me today, only Garzelli away from a full house. Had been tempted to bring in loads of sprinters but will probably only bring in a couple as tomorrow could go the same way as today if the peloton is that way inclined.

    Doesn’t that also mean everyone loses any points he earned them during the entire Giro? What about badges?

    I don’t think so, he wasn’t thrown off for drugs or anything, It will of been due to actions on this stage alone, so its more like a DNF in my opinion

    Still, fabulous day’s racing, so vafanculo to the fantasy points, I’m binning today off! My plan for tomorrow continues, I shall bring in one (1) transfer and save one for the ITT.

    Not doing anything was pretty
    Not doing anything was pretty much worth it, dont think I’ll have scored heavily but doubt I’ll lose too much ground.

    Have 8 transfers now for tomorrow plus 2 more after tomorrow mean I can bring in and take out again 5 sprinters.

    Thinking Cav, Nizzolo, Viviani plus a couple more although I could also be tempted to just bring in 3 or 4 and bank the transfers for later.

    OK – so Roux has now been removed, presumably a DNF today. Three times in a week now that an FDJ rider has abandoned my team – best not pick Pinot in the TDF if I want to see Madiot’s car-banging antics again…

    Well…..my gamble wasn’t totally worthless , dropped niemic for Sammy plus had di Luca in , I saw it as Sammy attacking on the final descent and time trialing his way to a stage win :/ not seen the stage yet so have no idea how it panned out ….still may have lost some places :”(

    4,5,6,8,10,11 and 12 for me
    4,5,6,8,10,11 and 12 for me 😕 + santambrogio and Di Luca’s sprint points, should be solid. Thinking Felline, Cav + another for tomorrow 😕

    Great stage. Just wish I could sit on my hands a bit more. I took out Majka, Niemiec and Uran for Pirazzi, Visconti and Paolini. arrgh

    Is there a prize for the biggest net loss of points due to transfers!?!


    Ha! I took out Pirazzi, Weening, Sammy Sanchez and Majka! The four I replaced them with scored a total of one point. But they will be the top 4 tomorrow I’m sure…

    (How is this guy in the top 20 overall? I hear you cry – and believe me I have no idea either…)

    Felline 20th! GET
    Felline 20th! GET IN.

    Seriously tho’, one of the best days of the tour so far. Totally unexpected to me, no idea whether that’s naivety or whether it was a genuinely surprising outcome but I fully expected a 10-man break to be let off the leash and finish ten mins clear. I guess the break was so big that a couple of teams decided they couldn’t let it go especially with Caruso in there.

    No regrets fantasy-wise – you never know what will happen the next day! I’ll keep all my breakaway guys, add Cav and Nizzo and maybe another, then make a load of penalty transfers for the TT and see what comes out.

    Just looked at the profiles for 19 and 20 – still a helluva long way to go!
