    Lipowitz is good for tomorrow

    Lipowitz is good for tomorrow too.

    I dropped Carapaz & Gaudu, I never thought today would be a GC day and I needed to do something to try and win the competition and at the same time mark some other players who had Soler.

    I have a rule of not trusting riders the day after a crash so took Vine out. Wanted to get Soler in as he looked favourite to go for KoM points so took out Carapaz  and brought in Lipowitz to keep my GC rider quota. No looking too clever currently….

    DSM were pulling in the peleton but it looks like that is the break for the day now.

    I risked keeping Vine in, hopefully he will go for it tomorrow too.

    And Vine goes for KoM while Soler doesn’t…. sums my decision making up!

    So many breaks, the GC riders

    So many breaks, the GC riders have scored very few points compared to TdF & Giro.

    My purist score is abysmal.

    Same for me. Took Vine out

    Same for me. Took Vine out after crash yesterday but he’s made it into early break. Hopefully not going to go KoM crazy!

    Hopefully my switch to more break riders pays off.

    It’s been a hard race to call. The scoring is lower than the Giro or TdF in terms of the leaders score.

    I’m out of my comfort zone, I’ve wandered into more breakaway riders than GC. 

    Note to self: It’s pts per transfers that matters…not naming tomorrows winner

    Yes, it is GC heavy teams

    Yes, it is GC heavy teams versus breakaway heavy teams. I just can’t seem to close the gap at the top.

    I do not think I have ever seen a competition like this before.

    It is so tight between quite a few players and we have a different leader after every stage.

    I didn’t see ‘No Man’s Landa’ coming.

    The better players tend to do

    The better players tend to do well in the longer races. Strategy is more important and good/bad luck tends to even itself out over 3weeks.

    I just noticed Dr Watson has slowly been creeping up the leader board for the vuelta.
