Tour of Qatar - stage 6
ooh - decisions decisions
I don't have Greipel at the moment, is he too expensive? I have to take out Demare to get him, and my spare points aren't going to get me a decent rider for the second one removed.
Otherwise
Bos or Markus - who will finish for Belkin?
Based on today, will that all-important 15th place be taken by Guardini or Guarneri?
Any thoughts?

They are going up now. They haven't been much delayed this tour. Just today.
I put my back out yesterday in the garden and am dosed up on painkillers, so when I was away to do them at dinner time, I fell asleep....
Thanks Gkam. Hope your back starts to behave itself soon.
If I had scored three more points and you would have seen me in the buff
A bit of a delay doesn't really matter when it's the last stage anyway......and even less so if you've injured your 'Cilla' LOL
Are we still waiting for scores today or is my browser off?
Sorry for the delay in scores, coming soon
Gman, why are scores delayed so much these days, what's the delay? Is it any info you can't get? Is it that you are busy with other things? I don't understand. Do you need help with the scoring? I wish I could help you out some way. It's frustrating 'cause I think the results have been available for hours. I can't imagine that it's not you not being able to get in front of a computer, 'cause you seem to be here all the time. What is it? It's so hard to understand these delays. Is it the badges again? What is it? I can't help but think it shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes or so after full results are up to do the scoring and then it's a matter of entering the info into the database, right?
Do you need any help with that? What's going on? Are you the only one who can do it? I don't know. Is there anything we can do to help? Would it help any if we posted the scores for you here? I'd certainly help you out any way I can... 
Might be a bit better today. At least seven scorers methinks
Kept DeMare and Markus in, brought in Bennati and Guardini and didn't go for Greipel.
As Barry Markus got some youth points, I believe I have a full house badge.
Worst day of the tour for me. Daftly traded out Eisel (for Van Staeyen). No Demare, no Benatti or indeed anyone in top ten. Could've been worse though - I had considered taking a penalty hit to bring in Greipel.
Not a bad day for my purist, though, as had Demare.
1 DEMARE Arnaud
2 BENNATI Daniele
3 EISEL Bernhard
4 BOONEN Tom
5 HAEDO Lucas Sebastian
6 DILLIER Silvan
7 GUARDINI Andrea

20 KRISTOFF Alexander
Annoying, I put Greipel in for no real reason. Had Demare though, badabing.
1st and 4th so far...Demare's been useful earlier on in the race and totally worth it now!
Rest of the top 10 was hard to predict..
4, 6, 10 so far
Greipel in for Demare after having him in for all previous five stages is going to hurt........allied to the Elmiger in for Hepburn move before the ITT that just about sums up this tour for me.
Wrong riders on the wrong stages
Well after GKams positivity the other day, it seems to have rubbed off, and I haven't picked my team since, purist doing ok though
Here was my full changes this morning, I was badge hunting
6 Feb 14, 05:07 Michael Morkov Andre Greipel
6 Feb 14, 05:07 Barry Markus Heinrich Haussler
6 Feb 14, 05:07 Daniele Bennati Arnaud Demare
6 Feb 14, 05:07 Jurgen Roelandts Matti Breschel
6 Feb 14, 05:07 Aidis Kruopis Oscar Pujol
6 Feb 14, 05:07 Marcel Sieberg Viacheslav Kuznetsov
Ah well, not such a fail, because taking Demare out let me take in a couple of scorers
1. Demare
2. Bennati
3. Eisel
4. Boonen
5. Hasnaoui
6. Dillier
7. Guardini
8. Bennett
9. Lander
10. Ruffoni
FAIL... Daniele Bennati in for Arnaud Demare at 5.07am
Not as bad as Bennett for demare
Which i actually did after sticking with Demare all race..... however it seems i still have 2,4,8,10 with top 10-20 results to come so heres hoping
Cycling quotes:
"Lotto tried to launch the sprint but they discovered that Greipel was missing from the train. This made for very confusing sprint on the wide boulevard but Demare powered down the centre of the road and took a clear win."
Sutton, Boonen and Bennati were all up there."
DEMARE TAKES IT
No Greipel for me
Could be some unusual scoring if this break sticks!
Just the 1 transfer
Greipel
Roelandts
Kruopis
Markus
Dillier for kroon
Ruffoni
Stannard
Terpstra
Boonen
Chtoui in the break for my purists - nice little bonus.
Chtoui, Sergent, Westra, Bazzana, Burghardt have about a minute with 40km left...
Greipel and Dillier in for DeMare and Morkov
Terpstra,Boonen,Greipel,Roelandts,Markus,Kruopis,Dillier,Kroon,Waeytens
Will have to leave a transfer behind.....very rare for me.
Brought in Griepel and got rid of Demare, i had a few credits left over so it wasn't to bad a call.
I could have brought in Greipel and a 3.0 for Markus and Terpstra but decided to stick. Greipel in purist anyway so I'll still be happy if he does well.
Demare
Kruopis
Boonen
Terpstra
Van Staeyen
Guarnieri
Markus
Stannard
Breschel
Miles down the table for Qatar so it doesn't really matter, just trying not to fall too far behind on the overall...
Had Ruffoni from the off and I've dumped Demare ....that is all
