Criterium du Dauphine stage 7

Gambled a bit this time. Had two transfers left, so took in Rolland and Nibali, on the basis that Rolland will be going for a breakaway today or tomorrow, and that Nibali is only getting started. He didn't look beat to me, more like he was giving Rui Costa the stage. I think (hope) that he will be on fire today.

SIMON YATES (OGE)
VINCENZO NIBALI (AST)
RAFAEL VALLS FERRI (LAM)
DANIEL TEKLEHAIMANOT (MTQ)
PIERRE ROLLAND (EUC)
ROBERT KISERLOVSKI (TSB)
ANDREW TALANSKY (TCG)
TEJAY VAN GARDEREN (BMC)

Should make for some exciting racing  16

I'll hold your hand... we'll get through this...

.
We stayed at 893 teams overnight...  45

The number of unique scores went up by quite a lot to 180 unique scores!... People trying to gamble on breakaways?...  39

The most common team seems to have been:

Christopher Froome       GC 46
Tejay Van Garderen       KM 40
Louis Meintjes       KM 39
Romain Bardet       KM 28
Daniel Teklehaimanot       DS 25
Simon Yates       AR 21
Robert Kiserlovski       DS 2
Arnaud Courteille       DS 0

With 19 teams seeming to have this lineup...  39

The most commonly ocurring score was 201 points (19 teams).

There's always a little slice, a little room for 'perfection'... here's today 'Best Possible Team', which would have only beat today's winners by 'only' 15 points...

38.0 Christopher Froome
30.7 Tejay Van Garderen
22.1 Benat Intxausti
20.1 Alexis Vuillermoz
16.0 Louis Meintjes
15.3 Daniel Navarro
4.5 Daniel Teklehaimanot
3.1 Robert Kiserlovski

149.8 credits 225 points  1

Joel is indeed killing it - good luck! I had Rolland and Elissonde in the break as well as Teklyhaimanot and Meint-keys but Pierre didn't quite do the business - no transfers left so hoping he goes again tomorrow to make it interesting! Still, I'm 4th overall and came about 800th in the Dauphine last year...

Work out how many transfers the guys got left, might be ya best bet to stick with what ya got.

You've got Bardet & Meintjes, he's got Talansky and Rui Costa, all comes down to who you think is gonna score more points, lol!
