The stats in the game have everyone 2 years younger than they are, I noticed that recently. Probably just not automatically updating.

Hmmm, Dennis is 21 according to the stats. 23 on PCS.

Too old.

1,2,3,5,11 - terpstra the only mistake, better than usual for a tt for me. Normally I don't pick terpstra and he rides well, so thought I'd squeeze him in, more's the pity.

Going to bed happy with 1,2,3,5,11,12 only 20 pens and a few points for Bolivar too. cannot see where Turel's ride came from, but good luck to him. More penalties in the coming days, a real tactical race this one.

Good night

Zirbel will score 11 points.

Howsen in the end will get 5 points as he is 2nd in YR

Dennis is too old, its only riders under 23

whereas GT's include riders up to the age of 25

I think Craddock will be in the YR Jersey though, so he will score 13 points I think if noone else beats him, which won't be too bad. 7 scorers as Cav will get some points.

Will just be 10 points for Zirbel

Dennis will surely have the YR jersey?

Would appear he is too old at 23.

Same and Zirbel too feel could have been better. Disappointed with Terpstra, doesn't look like he tried very hard. I would be very surprised if anyone had Turel in their team.......

I actually fancied Bobridge too but again saw no value in him tomorrow, so left him.

Yes I didn't go Howson, but I didn't want to make 2 penalties, plus I don't see much value in him tomorrow. As for Craddock, see him much more for tomorrow, but he is no slouch in the ITT and could easily top 10, and also be in contention for some YR points.

Back to Howson, yes I recognise his ability, and if you just got me to pick 9 riders he would be in, but I don't see him breaking the top 5.

I see the top 4 being Phinney, Dennis, Sergent and Wiggins

Went for Howson as well. Dennis, Wiggins, Phinney, Terpstra and Sergent all present and correct too.

Was sore tempted by Craddock but I stuck with Terpstra, on account of this will probably be the one stage he'll get the chance to shine in this race.

I won't pick Busche on the entirely legitimate grounds that he pronounces his surname "Boo-shay". That'll learn 'im.

Went for Howson, and I think Craddock comes in tomorrow but I don't think he'll place highly enough today. And I was just short in points to get him anyway without sacrificing cav.

Howson may be leader in da yoot competition by tonight. Hence picking over zirbel
