Well this is new. 

On a week that seemed determined to make me miss deadlines I have three transfers on the final day.

That is a rare luxury, especially as it looks to be a real specialists course. I am down to one only, having been lured into using an extra transfer to get Matthews in yesterday. Hoping he has packed his skin suit and gives it a go today!

Holy, I just realised Thomas is only worth 3! Can't believe I missed that.

Oh well, enjoy the free points broken heart

Sheesh. Best bargain for a while. I went thin on sprinters to open with to squeeze him in for the whole tour.

Maybe need to just double check the start times for this race - they have been racing for nearly an hour now & the window is only just shutting! (The times on their website suggest that the window was correct but clearly those Italians are in a hurry to get going!) No skullduggery from me but less scrupulous competitors could take advantage! Anyone with Nathan Haas in their team should be called in by doping control.....

Oh cheers for this, I was sure they were spot on. Might be something dodgy with the in game clock, or the time zone is different from what I imagined. I've moved them all forward an hour.

Your timings looked fine according to official website, but for some reason they went of early. I know they are trying to avoid finish clashing with TdF finish but that wasn't an issue today.

Not sure who you mean. There's been a couple of alterations to the start list today...Cavendish and Hodeg not starting....

Do you think we should agree to be open about anything we think may be incorrect?... I'm sure Andy would be glad of it.

Apologies, I do come across as a bit furtive on re-reading that post! It's  Lotto Soudal rider Florian Vermeersch. He doesn't seem to be on the data base at all, but came fourth in the Brussels Classic. There is Gianni Vermeersch on the long list of riders but he rides for Alpecin and isn't riding Tirreno. I fully agree with being open about omissions, but equally, part of the fun of the game is finding that bargain bucket rider who may just score you the odd point!

He's ticked on in the start list. Let me check what's happening.

Seems he dodged the value process, somehow. Can't do the values again, so I've given him a random price based on 4th in Brussels and 5th in his national ITT.
