If the pro’s can do it?? yeah
If the pro’s can do it?? yeah because they are under contract to their team :/

I dont think you should be able to pick more than 2, its a great rule, because if you went and picked a full team sky, like yesterday and sky went on to win, thats 40 extra just for picking them all, no no, everyone should be in the same position, 2 riders limit, else your going to have people saving transfers, using credits to get more and picking a different whole team every day, there is no skill in that

[Gkam84]

Yeah it looks like only
Yeah it looks like only Holland and Belgium for that site, could be worth chucking them an email as its a decent price, just tell them its the only place online you’ve been able to find it :^o , they might help you out as its not that expensive to post to the UK 😀

I know you talked about a
I know you talked about a tour bonus for your riders you pick in the first stage according to their GC finishing place

What about the same kind of thing for an all round finish?

For example, If i picked Cobo on the first stage, Even if he lost and came 2nd to Froome, he’s got more mountains and general points, so has the overall jersey just now in La Vuelta, How hard would it be to calculate that for the Giro and TdF?

Just the top guy i mean, so the guy who has the best GC, Points and Mountains combined

But no, J-Rod wont win the
But no, J-Rod wont win the stage if the break stays away, better sprinters, if they stay away, Sijmens will win X(

As long as J-Rod is in the top 10ish then he’ll get his green back

[Gkam84]

7 mins down??

Sijmens annoying me,
Sijmens annoying me, sprinting like a demon to take the Cat 1 first place :&

Another thing to add to my
Another thing to add to my list of Eurosports crap coverage of La Vuelta after declaring they were showing EVERY stage live, they didn’t do that, then they schedule it in, but never stick to it, yesterday was late and finished 30 mins early for snooker and its late today because of the snooker and i refuse to watch the crappy ITV coverage X( X(

[Gkam84]

There we go, just as
There we go, just as expected

1. Hermosa 101 km
1 Joa. Rodríguez (KAT) 4
2 R. Kišerlovski (AST) 2
3 Timmer (SKS) 1

This group seem to be working well, letting the points guys get the points and the mountains take them and with still 9.35 lead and only 68km to go with some good climbers in the break, i can see them staying away now because they are no threat overall

[Gkam84]

Sky tracker keeps switching
Sky tracker keeps switching between Sijmens and Montaguti for the Cat 2 X(

J-Rod should be allowed the sprints as they are all that far behind the time bonus won’t matter and he’s only 11 points off the points jersey again

[Gkam84]

Cat.2 Alto del Caracol 75.1
Cat.2 Alto del Caracol 75.1 km
1 Sijmens (COF) 5
2 Montaguti (ALM) 3
3 De Greef (OLO) 1

More points and with 9.30 in hand, i think they can get to the Cat 1 aswell which could be 10. i dont know if they could make both Cat 3’s after that, if they did and he won them both, it would put him joint top of the mountains 😀
