Looks like we’re climbing again. 
 

Just never got to grips with Tirreno Adriatico somehow…onwards and upwards for this one.

What makes that worse is the fact that the changes this year, to the circuit, looked less likely to suit him than previously. He’s fabulous…just less predictable now.

I’d do the same Porte > Woods

I’d do the same Porte > Woods again with a spare transfer. Porte isn’t renown for driving to the line, he’s been around too long for that….but…the transfer would have been better used earlier for a possible bigger upside.

It does always amaze me the number of times that doing nothing would actually be the better call. None of my transfers today, over both races, improved my score. It does require discipline and nerves of steel!

My biggest dither of the game

My biggest dither of the game was whether to get Sagan and Impey for Simon Yates and Mohoric…leaving no last day transfers….or keep Mohoric and just do Simon Yates to Dion Smith…leaving me with Mohoric and Smith. Sagan and Impey got 75pts over two days whilst Mohoric and Smith got exactly the same….and then I lost one point with Porte > Woods with my extra transfer. Pffft.

We update the stage scores

We update the stage scores manually and we’re not always on hand to update immediately once a race finishes. Patience is a virtue, they always get done.

Give them time.

WTF?  Catalunya game closed

WTF?  Catalunya game closed but no points at all for todays stage 7?  I smashed it today as well.

Is somebody going to correct it then?

[Aragonite]

He had tackled this 7th stage

He had tackled this 7th stage five times in the past, finishing 6mins  down, DNF, 1min down, 5mins down, and another DNF. The stage did seem not to be to his liking. But as we all know this sport can make a fool of you, and still we love it.  🙂

I ended up with two spare

Definitely hard to call. I even ended up with two spare transfers. Was going to go full GC for final stage with three changes in the bank. Decided against and only made the one….. TdG for Woods.

[11waterloo]

That’s a tough one to take, I

That’s a tough one to take – I am just mid-table so no real damage. Kept leaving him in and eventually lost patience with him today. TdG is one to either keep in all race or not bother with at all!

Same here,and to add to the misery I would of won standard Volta Castalunya.
