    What do I do now?

    Out for a ride at 6.00am very unlikely to be back before the transfer deadline. Take a chance, use my transfers and hope it takes place and lose the opportunity to use all those lovely transfers for the sprint, or leave my team as it is and hope that it’s cancelled again. It would be nice if I could make the transfers and know that I would get them back if it were cancelled. 😉 😉

    Scored -10 yesterday so no changes today out of spite.

    After a good start, what with the cancellation of a crucial stage, Nibali pulling away and Di Luca’s positive, this Giro is ending disappointingly.Unless something genuinely epic happens today.

    It could even work out for enrique and his ‘standard crew’ if they find out it’s cancelled BEFORE deadline of stage 20 as they could uses their 4 saved transfers for sprinters and get 2 more just after the deadline whereas they would be limited to just 4 sprinters otherwise.

    Well this is my team, with my changes done before yesterday

    Nibali
    Scarponi (for Evans)
    Pirazzi (for Kangert)
    Betancur
    Majka
    Pellizotti
    Niemiec
    Uran
    Chalapud

    Only regret I guess is Evans for Scarponi, but I should only loose out on a handful of points if any depending on finish line points

    Tomorrow Cav, viviani, Nizzolo and Mezgec in

    A high scoring stage today
    A high scoring stage today with many similar teams? I think so. Here’s mine…

    Mauro Santambrogio (VIN)
    Vicenzo Nibali (AST)
    Domenico Pozzovivo (ALM)
    Carlos Alberto Betancur (ALM)
    Samuel Sanchez (EUS)
    Fabio Duarte (COL)
    Franco Pellizotti (AND)
    Rigoberto Uran (SKY)
    Rafal Majka (SAX)

    3 transfers for tomorrow and will probably take a penalty or 2. Good luck folks!

    Personally, I didn’t climb high today and certainly won’t tomorrow. Riding unsupported I would be ok on the way up, but would certainly do myself major damage when I had to ride back down!

    cool! good work fella 🙂

    hope the snow stays away so we get an SF tomorrow!

    Ive gone ahead and done 3 transfers on the premise it will go ahead- i’m mid-air tomorrow at 7 am so no choice but to decide now. 30 degrees and sunny in turkey 😉

    Have stuck Mezgec in now for the disgraced doper. I’d have brought him in for the sprint stage anyhow but if there’s a chance that the summit finish is binned off, I might as well have a sprinter option there as not. Otherwise I’d only have picked Chalapud as 5th in the KoM comp and pretty much guaranteed a point

    Well 6 trasfers will be used on the final stage by me , so I’m hoping for an ITTesque score for me that day as well as closing about 30 points tomorrow on Jonas …..

    As for his Nibs , he may not be happy in the short term but down the line he will be able to look back and enjoy it I think
