    I had Moschetti in from start

    I had Moschetti in from start so was hoping to reap the dividend today & tomorrow. Luckily, like you, I held back on my last transfer in case today went a bit wild so I can at least replace him.

    Looks like a misclick on a 2 instead of a 3. Putting it right now.

    Cheers for the heads up!

    Sat on my hands a bit with the risk of echelons. I had three transfers but only used two and kept the Almeida points. Moschetti was going to be my third rider in. Kinda thought I would tread water with or without echelons and I did….

    I know everyone has him so it makes little difference, but shouldn’t Bennett have a few more points today?

    Went from the depths of despair in that stage when Moschetti abandoned ( nailed on 5-10 place finisher by my reckoning), to a feeling of relief that I brought in Bennett and Viviani as my two transfers!

    Well that went well. Only did one transfer and slept on Higuita or Buchmann…decided Buchmann but then before I did the transfer this morning we had a new exercise bike delivered at 7.00a.m….and forgot to do the transfer in my excitement….Jammy sod….and only fell one place…

    I am unreasonably fed up with Chris Harper! Looked at bringing him in as I had 4.5 mill in bank but went with dodgy Italian sprinter at last minute, reasoning that he would probably score more than the 7 that Harper carries and I could bring Harper in tonight. Then Harper ends up sprinting one place behind Minali……Grrrrrrrrr. At least Dekker didn’t win to give him the extra 5!

    Very nearly brought him in myself- he would have flown round that TT course. Very glad I decided to save the transfer now!

    VdP was one of my transfers in last night.  Not so smart a move now.

    I’m a muppet. Missed the transfer window this morning at literally the first possible opportunity. ?

    In my defence it does seem a little early given that there are still two hours until the start, but I should have checked…

    Ouch. Luckily I had Dekker to soften the blow…but that was all.

    It did look a nailed on sprint and MvdP was never in my plans. The whole dynamic of the race has changed now. Lots of riders with no chance of winning on GC but looking for a stage win. 

    Couldn’t pick MVDP because it’s simply an Okey Cokey with Philipsen.I have no doubt at all that Philipsen would be the sprinter on a calmer day. I went with neither because of that (Nizollo instead). Got to fancy MVDP would want the pts jersey now though….that would be a good win for them.

    It is a lottery when you get wind like that. Was panicking that I didn’t have Ganna but then Almeira made the cut so got me out of jail!
