163 pts on stage 4 was enough to put me back in the lead in London for the overall season
I've now lost patience with Guardini, who I'd picked from the start and stuck with up to now. Eisel has taken his place, he's been strong so far, finished top 20 a couple of times and will hopefully be working to keep Stannard at the front and therefore be up top if another split happens (and I'm guessing it will).
Reckon the final day'll be more of a straightforward sprint finish.
Well 134 for the day and 13 pts off the fs top 10 ....if I get there I'll be happy problem is I'm gambling on it splitting again tomorrow
138 after a 10 point penalty, not to bad. Mostly green arrows.
1 BOONEN Tom
2 GREIPEL André

Grr - nearly took a penalty to swap Boom out for Markus but Boom's "guaranteed" GC points stopped me. Still 1,4,7,9,15,20 is one of my better days so far this season! Markus and Guarnieri in now for Boom and Vanspeybrouck - all in on a full bunch finish and potential full house tomorrow...
Well couldnt be bothered to make any changes today, after filling my team with TT'ers yesterday.
But great finish by Boonen to over take Griepel on the line
1 & 7 so far but got Roelandts Terpstra and Morkov for the earlier sprints so it might be a decent day.
same here waiting on top 20 though before changes
can't even get Greipel in for tomorrow
gonna have to be Markus + another then I think
1&2 for me but a few int sprint points and good gc points tally. much better day for me
Boonen up to second on GC, Boom drops out of the top 10. Gonna have to be Boom and Elmiger out tomorrow and get Greipel in
1,3,7 for me
I thought Greipel might work for Roelandts considering GC and that it might be a nice little present for his lieutenant but I guess The Gorilla is Boss at Lotto Belisol
That's what I thought would happen. Still didn't get his win though. Boom the bog loser today (and he'll be sharply out of my squad); an unfortunate puncture indeed.
Got 1,3,4 out of top ten plus defo some GC and int sprint points from Morkov, Stannard and Roelandts. Waiting on top 20 to see whether this is a good day or an average day.
Boonen
Greipel
Markus
Kruopis
Bennett
Guarnieri
Demare
Pelucchi
Van Staeyen
Eisel
Tommeke goes past Greipel on the line!!
Boonen, followed by Terpstra then Roelandts in 2nd sprint
33 seconds for Gilbert and Salomein
Damn was gonna bring Gilbert in for Elmiger (would have done it instead of Kruopis but was 0.1 credits short)
Sounds like Katusha working hard for Kristoff today, which is about right as i'm not bringing him in to my team untill tomorrow!
Terpstra
Boonen
Roelandts
Boom
Howard
Greipel
Sergent
Waeytens
Ruffoni
Finally started to take an interest in this race after doing surprisingly well yesterday with a 170 on my standard team.
Dropped Cancellara and Haedo for Roelandts and Morkov. No Greipel, Demare or Viviani so watch today be a proper sprint for the first time in the race.
Terpstra
Boonen
Roelands
Stannard
Boom
Kruopis
Morkov
Hepburn
Guardini
Morkov, Roelandts, Kroon in that order for the first sprint
Good move brining in Kroon in seems, also means I have at least 4 in the front group
All OPQS in first group, 50km gone
Just from Twitter #TourofQatar
Groups 1 and 2 have come together, and have 1 min 30 on group 3
Took a pen, brought in Roelandts, Morkov and Barry Markus.
Where are you getting updates from?
I took out Boaro and Gatto for Kroon and Kruopis
