Wow, got a full house!

But only 68 points... 105

Is that the lowest ever score for a full house?

Maybe it is the 'Lantern Rouge' of full houses...LOL.

A new prize category in the offing?

I guess it helps that the time of the stages in California means I can watch the racing live on t'internet and get a feel for whos riding well, rather than with the giro , where I just see the last 10 mins and read the report...there aagain it might be luck, cos when I picked Chris Jones, I thought I was picking Carter Jones...

I guess I have won something....new bike? maybe not...maybe a picture of a bike 3

Routley has totally cleaned up today.

1st in the race
3 wins on KOM
2nd on sprint
Top of points
Top of mountains

And surely most combative.

Wow!

Decided not to change my team for sprinters today and incur points and then back again. Going to have to rely on the GC boys for an average day.

Bradley Wiggins (SKY)
Tiago Machado (TNE)
Taylor Phinney (BMC)
Moreno Hofland (BLK)
Rohan Dennis (GRS)
Danny Van Poppel (TFR)
Peter Stetina (BMC)
Lawson Craddock (GSH)
Will Routley (OPM)

Just the 40 penalty points for today...
Necessary though, as had a few lame ducks in there. Routley I put in on a bit of a whim (good to have a 3.0 guy guaranteed to get you a few classification points every stage) but otherwise am counting on a bunch sprint with five or six of my guys finishing top ten! No Sagan though, he's going in tomorrow.

How many points for mountains in this one? I really don't understand the scoring for TOC.

I updated just after the site update this afternoon, at 3.15pm. Thinking I was updating for stage 4.

I've just looked, my transfers are for stage 5 not stage 4.
I was not aware window had reopened. - Dave - is there any way to but my transfers back against Stage 4 (when other people would have made stage 4 changes after me)

Degenkolb really isn't my choice for tomorrow

Think Dave was trying to rectify anyone's who made transfers for stage 5 and not 4.

it was my fault I made a mistake on the transfer deadline and made it far too early. I did apologise for this earlier, and thats why Dave got stage 4 reopened. I believe you were doing your transfers when I did, it was actually only on stage 5 for about 20 minutes.

I think I am one of the people who has transfers set against stage 5 instead of stage 4, I thought they were for stage 4 when I did them. Yates and Degenkolb in for Jens! and Phinney

Wow.

It would be nice to have an extra 1/2 hour at least because of this unique situation with two races running at the same time and the Giro's updating potentially interrupting any late transfers people might want to make... 39 Or, maybe wait until Cali starts before loading the Giro updates...
