Tour of California stage 3

Updated Stetina's points, had given his GC points to Squire

I can't count.

But can you check the scores for Acervedo and Stetina? I calculate they are both 21 points, but they are listed as 26 and 16.

218 for today I think.

And 184 in Purist.

1,3,4,5,9 plus routley

I picked Jens Voigt, over craddock, for a penalty.

1,2,3,5,7,9 with no penalties. OK.

Purist 1,2,4,7,9 and the others are sprinters.

Pleased with that.

My Haga experiment went badly wrong and has cost me big time! nevermind

5 of my purists in the top 13, happy with that

1,2,3,6,7,8,9, pretty happy, but bit annoyed at not taking extra pen on Yates. Wiggo set a very impressive tempo last 5k, even if he lost 20 secs in final. A potential worry for the next SF?

Dammit, close to perfect. Went for Bolivar over Yates and Cooke over Jones, both were close calls. Nearly had 8 of the top 9, still chuffed with 6!

I think I just saw Wiggo out of the saddle - dare I say "dancing on the pedals"??!?

Just got in from the pub, my team is...

Wiggo
Acevedo
Stetina
Craddock
Machado
Cooke
Bolivar
Dennis
Haedo

With 30 pens.

Also annoyed I forgot Routley - after deciding yesterday I would definitely bring him in. Serves me right for nearly forgetting to do my transfers and rushing it. Still, if Bolivar springs a surprise then I'll not be complaining...

Just a heads up, doesn't look like im going to be able to get the scores done tonight, as it looks like its going to be a late one and I have an early start due to an assessment thing at work. So I will try to get them done in the morning before I go but if I don't get chance they will be up around 2.30 in the afternoon.

Just apologising in advance for any delays with this stage.

Should have gone Routley. He has 10 points already as he crested the mountian 1st (and 10 riders score) Likely to be 15 as he will have the mountain jersey too me thinks

I know very little about the USA riders so rather than take a risk and take a penalty i've gone for what i know.

Rohan Dennis
Matthew Busche
Jesse Sergent
George Bennett
Bradley Wiggins
Jens Mouris
Martin Kohler
Lawson Craddock
Kirk Carlsen

4 trades , took 20 pen

OUT=Sergent,Sagan, Boom, Howson

IN=Acevedo, Machado, Craddock, Ten Dam

WIGGINS
DENNIS
PHINNEY
ACEVEDO
CRADDOCK
MACHADO
TEN DAM
CHAVES
LEEZER

Good Luck.

Took like a bajillion penalty points so far in ToC. I can really see the mistakes I've made too, both not researching properly and not thinking through changes properly. Nearly two years at this caper and I'm still learning lessons.

8 riders out front 1 min 20

Maarten Wynants
Jonathan Clarke
Paul Voss
David Lozano Riba
Will Routley
Luis Davila
Robbie Squire
Ruben Zepuntke

Wiggins
Phinney
Dennis
Acevedo
Yates
Craddock
Zirbel
Rowe
Routley
20 pens so better be worth it

No pens for me today

Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
Tiago Machado (TNE)
Taylor Phinney (BMC)
Thomas Zirbel (OPM)
Rohan Dennis (GRS)
Janier Alexis Acevedo (GRS)
Peter Stetina (BMC)
Lawson Craddock (GSH)
Serghei Tvetcov (JBC)

Somewhat similar to yours TER

On another note, another 10 point penalty for me today.

Gone like this, could do well, could be a big bust.

Wiggins
Acevedo
Dennis
Craddock
Haga
Machado
Stetina
Tvetcov
Brochner

Simon Yates is another that I thought had dropped out before the start, but is listed on a couple of the results lists - I'm assuming he isn't racing (and won't be picking him anyway) but out of interest - anyone know if he definitely is/isn't there?
