Well I should have ,3,4,6,7,12,14 ....however the game is still currently giving me ,3,4,14 that's a huge 43 point loss on the stage alone ....I could

2,3,4,6,9,12 hmmm + Points for Colbrelli in the points standing, will it keep me top 10? Very much doubt it

Who to axe tomorrow, Phinney and who? Cheap rider in or axe Colbrelli, who may or may not do something, and should still get a couple of points, penalties?

4,6,9,12 purist, will not be good enough (No Chava will have cost me big time, and taking a punt on Seeldrayers), even with the odd points for Degenkolb and Maritnez

Picked Solid Steve and Chava for this arvo, but somehow overlooked Zoidl (though he is in my purist). Disappointing morning, afternoon score should be a bit better. Peraud defo in for tomorrow now.

Now im under pressure, gonna have to make a penalty transfer I think....
as I don't think I can win the forum else

Well made 2 changes, now the big question, are any riders of 18 credits or less worth a 10 point penalty for

Someone wasn't paying attention, didn't see that both stages 3 & 4 where happening today. Disastrous stage 4 for me. Doh!!!

OK, so I completely didn't realise 3 and 4 were both today. Doh!

Put Zoidl in though.

Took Zoidl out for Larsson........bit like my Hepburn out for Elmiger in the ToQ ITT

To be fair though i only had Zoidl in the first place because of alphabetical order when selecting a 3.0 on stage 1 !!

Peraud quickest 24:42

Looks like Roy in both my teams was a smart choice at the moment

Ok mighty annoyed with this issue around my transfers due to the latest standings
