Hello people,
Will we be able to do transfers soon as i wont be able to do so tomorrow morning and time is a ticking.
There is a start list for the race here –
http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Sparkassen_Munsterland_Giro_2016_Startlist
I picked my team by using this and selecting the ‘show all riders’ box on the pick team page.
I went through team by team. eg. find team EQS for Etixx and one of their riders, BOA for Bora Argon , etc.
but you could type in the riders name to find them.
A lot of the lesser teams in the race aren’t available but all the regular teams are.
He cam 2nd in 3 of the Golden
He cam 2nd in 3 of the Golden Kilometer sprints which gave him 12 points plus 30 points for finishing 2nd in the stage.
Total 42 points
I was hoping the players
I was hoping the players above me would have fewer transfers left and I could stage a late surge.
But 48 points behind and 9 transfers left doesn’t seem like enough now, especially as Sammy Sanchez pulled out. đ
For the leaders it looks like it will come down to luck in which sprinter finishes where. At least the finish isn’t on the Champs-Elysees where punctures can play a major role.
Good luck to all.
With regard the actual stage 20, a break taking it looks unlikely now with GC teams probably looking for bonus seconds. Hopefully my 2 transfers in Fraile & Gesink can do something miraculous with Yates & Konig left behind at the bottom of the final climb.
Have a few transfers left so
Have a few transfers left so managed 4 changes for today. Brought in Contador (today & tomorrow), Hermans (today & tomorrow) plus Catroveijo & Campanaerts for the TT.

QUINTANAI heard Nizzolo crashed
I heard Nizzolo crashed yesterday but didn’t realise he was hurt badly, so left him in my team.
I played a bit of a long game
I played a bit of a long game today, Valverde & Pardilla out , with Talansky & S.Sanchez in. Both should do OK in the TT and pick up GC points at least in the last stages.
Not enough transfers left to gamble on one off stages.
I had Fraile and only see him
I had Fraile and only see him as 14 points – 2 Cat1s 2×5 pts and 2nd in KoM 4pts

Stage 5 – Machado
Stage 6 – Fraile
Stage 7 – Mate
Stage 8 – Restrepo
Stage 9 – L.L. Sanchez
Stage 10 – Mate
Only change for today is
Only change for today is Quintana in for Chaves which probably spells disaster for Quintana.
I think the break could be like on Stage8 – a complete lottery. So no other changes.
Difficult to decide what to
Difficult to decide what to so in these breakaway stages. I had some break options in yessterday and so decided to keep faith in them and make no changes. Geniez, Mate & Hardy.
Was tempted to bring in LL Sanchez but didn’t. đ
Same tactic for stage 10 too, although I’m debating whether to swap GC riders but may wait until after the 2 flatter stages coming up.
wish I had left Goncalves in
wish I had left Goncalves in now đ
