Yeah…. finally a GT. 

Should be interesting. Not the strongest line up we’ll ever see but that might be a great chance for the under card….

Ive played FPL since its introduction and would welcome a mini-league…

My iPad knowledge isn’t great

My iPad knowledge isn’t great but when I have previously got a new one it automatically transferred everything on the old one to the new (information stored in the cloud away from the actual device I believe). Hopefully that is the case for you. I too use FFS as my go to site for the football, mainly for the predicted lineups (although predicting the Leicester defence defies even them!) It could be an idea to create an FPL mini-league next season for any fantasy cyclists who are interested. I’m sure there are quite a few of use who do both on the quiet & putting a mini league together doesn’t require much effort (I am already in two mini leagues so another one would be no problem)

Yeah… Free hit on a DGW is

Yeah… Free hit on a DGW is the biggest play of the season. I use fantasy football scout for info. Thet very often get, or work out, the line ups and shock benchings..but that is always very late in the day..so i leave it as long as possible.

My middle son is going to bring his old Ipad for me and rejuvinate it… i’m a bit worried i may have lost all our family photos on the one that’s knackered… and there are hundreds. Agggghhh.

Oh no, that is the stuff of

Oh no, that is the stuff of nightmares! Both games had a 10.30 deadline yesterday so it was already a stressful morning without a malfunctioning iPad. No free hit left for me but could at least do some tinkering (making Richarlison captain seems to have worked out! )

Shocker of a day… as my

Shocker of a day… as my ipad totally blew this morning…blank, dead, nothing. 

Not only for the cycling but also (does anybody play fantasy premier league) couldn’t do my transfers for that game on a Double gameweek and my FREE HIT that i saved for 37 weeks…to use today. WTF…!!..Never even come close to saving it that long before. Left me with captain Salah who played in the FA cup final as well….pffft.

Got my old computer working again and a new ipad for me tomorrow.

I think we will see more of

I think we will see more of Bouwman this Giro.

With no credible GC contenders, it has to be about stages and maybe the mountain jersey will come along too.

[Daniel Norton]

Oh, I don’t think the MVDP

Oh, I don’t think the MVDP and Cort picks were just for that stage.  In my case, I expected them to be in the mix the following day, pick ’em in case they are in the break, and they will probably net points the next day.  The size of the break meant Cort net zilch both days!

[Daniel Norton]

Yeah, enjoyable stage.  I

Yeah, enjoyable stage.  I picked Mollema then changed my mind as well (team duties).

I’m surprised MVDP let de Gendt get up the road on the next stage.  He seems to have the odd complete failure to read the race.  Could just have been his legs to be fair, but…

[11waterloo]

Best pick of the race so far!

Great pick. Do you think TJV

Great pick. Do you think TJV will want that KOM jersey?… it did come as a bit of a freebie with the stage win… i’m thinking they will.

Bowman has been the high

Bouwman has been the high point of my Giro.

Completely messed up last weekend when away on a cycling trip. Was devastated to find I hadn’t picked Girmay on Stage 1 when I was convinced I had. Bonus is that I have a few more transfers at this stage of a Grand Tour than I sometimes do.

[11waterloo]

Yes he did! I always have a

Yes he did! I always have a quick look at what a few other players have done once the deadline passes, if only to fuel my fear of missing out! 

[Dr Winston]

Shame about Ulissi not

Shame about Ulissi not turning up… he made a half hearted attempt at the break then gave up….Covi was more active…and Formolo.

The thing with the MVDP pick is that i’ve never seen him race in earnest over such a brutal stage. Even if he got in the break, as he tried to, he would have been in with some serious climbers on some serious climbs. 

did Sniffer pick him?…crikey…good shout. 

[11waterloo]

With hindsight, Mollema was

With hindsight, Mollema was the logical choice for the stage (or Bouwman if you are psychic – yes you, Sniffer!) I initially had Mollema but then got conflicted over his role in protecting the pink jersey and took him out in favour of riders no other responsibilities. I was due a bad call as the Giro had been going far too well up till that point! 

[Dr Winston]

Not been on today due to

Not been on today due to major ipad malfunction. Does anybody know much about them?

Oh. great stage btw. Never fancied MVDP or Cort today… i’ve no idea why they were installed as first and second favourites.
