Definitely a player to be taken seriously!

Yes, he has been in the game

Yes, he has been in the game a long time and is one of the top players.

You know how it works.

You know how it works.

It’s about pts per transfer, not picking tomorrows winner, and minimising the number of 0 pts in your team at any one time. He’s (?) a good player though after looking through his transfers, he’s not picking many outliers, you’ve got your work cut out.

Especially after a few pints

Especially after a few pints at the pub !!

Yes, that is the voice of

Yes, that is the voice of reason. But it is so hard to sit on your hands as the deadline approaches!

[Dr Watson]

Have to bank your transfers

Have to bank your transfers for more certain points later on. KOM competition has yet to go full flow, sprints to come, and that TT at the end. All more certain than shooting for a fish in a barrel.

I’ll regret Leemreize, who

I’ll regret Leemreize, who seems to be going in every mountain break, and good old Guillame Martin. I won’t be picking either but they both may try to go for a wander up the road.

Castrillo was a real

Castrillo was a real differential – very few would have him. It’s reaching that point of balancing points on board versus transfers in the bank. Ideally you want both but that never happens! I seem to have a decent number of transfers left….. I just need to use them wisely!

[MinardiM189]

I guess I am back in 2nd

I guess I am back in 2nd position in GC, the guy behind me had Castrillo & Dunbar yesterday !!

but has used 7 more transfers

It would be gnawing away at

That point would be gnawing away at me too. I’ve been out to the pub and I’m still festering that I took Schmid out….

Let’s get our Captain

Let’s get our Captain Hindsight picks out of the way “before” tomorrows stage. Who are you thinking might get a few points as an under the radar pick.

[Dr Watson]

They are… but. The

They are… but. The sprinters that are left will surely only be here to have a pop at those two stages… they should be controlled quite closely if that is the case. 
 

Until then their are some very good climbers on the under card that are quite closely matched for the breaks ….mind you some of those also went in the break today.

Maybe TDG has missed his chance before today. 

[MinardiM189]

Not just hindsight – I was

Not just hindsight – I was planning to bring Mas in for McNulty today.

I stll haven’t got that missing point for Soler the other day

[11waterloo]

It’s funny how we are all

It’s funny how we are all brilliant with hindsight ??

[MinardiM189]

Taking Soler out to bring O

Taking Soler out to bring O’Connor in was my mistake.

I thought Soler was struggling the other day.
