Volta ao Algarve stage 5
I'm finding this one very tricky to decide. My team is doing very well, 7th I think ahead of processing.
Do I risk some guaranteed points on Kwia and/or Bertie on Cav and Demare????? Especially as I want 4 sprinters which would mean 20pt penalty.
Tricky as.

There is no full house badge - bugger
Another 3rd place overall after coming 3rd in Med, that will do nicely
There should be a badge for picking the last man in both stages today
Got the bookends in the wrong race again though 
1,2,3,4,5,7! At last a good showing, but 10 pen points and no gc points. Still, feels good
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 15
20/30 pen points
Impressive Twybados, how many penalty points?
only 10. Most of my GC scorers have been in my team posting low scores for a good few days now.
Full house badge though!

Time will tell. I will be rooting for Mr Grumpy today anyway.
It is risky but I reckon you've done the right thing Joelsim. Although I was unwilling to risk Cav, so went Lobato instead, and kept Rui Costa. I'm miles back in this one though...
A bad day for me yesterday as I slipped from 7th to 33rd. Have taken a big risk for today's stage taking out Kwia's guaranteed points and replacing him with Cav.
Not only that I've added 3 further sprinters, Demare, Modolo and Coquard and I then needed a 3.0 so Pereira is in too.
Risky, especially given Cav's form and 30 penalty points.
In for a penny...
2 changes for me, in the hope to stay in the top 5, not risking the penalty points
what will be will be
8 changes pour moi!
