But you just have to make the decisions further down the GC. I had to choose between Rolland and Hesjedal. I couldn't quite afford Pozzo and I didn't fancy Kelderman. I chose Hesjedal and he was going fine till his mechanical then he collapsed, but that's how it goes. My team is more for tomorrow than today so it could have been worse.
As Dave says it doesn't really matter what the budget is. The best players, with a bit of luck, will rise to the top regardless and yesterday there were some big differences in the scores. ITTs usually have a small range. It's the break stages that make or break you in this game.
Or the luck of the draw with crashes of course
Same. Hesjedal is normally better than Rolland at TT but Rolland is obviously on better form right now and the mechanical didn't help. Hesjedal has had no luck at all.
Like Isaid , Ithought Zoidl was a good selection well done mate.
1,2,3,5,7,8,10, Poels failed me for full book as kept arredondo...damn u zoidl.
I'm pretty sure like me you have probably picked up a lot more than just the 2 fh badges lol
Same here on the badges Dr.....
Funny we both chose Ryder but I kept Wellens and dropped Arredondo as I think the mountain point comp should be mathematically his by now. Not going to change anything but could do with Ryder getting in a break tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Only dropped one place to 4th but the gap opened up.
Yes because I think most ppl thought of that bar zardini....
and Wellens and Henao...
220 points and not even in the top 200 for the stage
Talk about competitive, although Grand Tours always get like this towards the back end once you're in big mountains, nowhere to make up ground.
I think most of us had wellens and henao , I was toying with cataldo for kelderman but I'd have had to take a penalty
My conundrum now is do I play safe and hope others gamble or vice versa .....I'm only missing 2 badges but I can't see me getting either atm
Wow @ Aru!
Aru! Fabulous! Incredible!
Pozzo goes fast but at least 2 will be faster.
Hesjedal 21st.
Quintana 1st at second check.
Uran 28'' behind Aru.
Pellizotti goes quickest!
Rolland nowhere near Aru but should have had him instead of Hesjedal.
..
Aru has just blasted it!
Hesjedal mechanical. Damn!
That's his chance of podium over I think.
Pozzo 1st at second check!
Nice ride from Henao gives me 1 & 2 at the moment
Kelderman 15th at second check. Glad I didn't bring him in for Duarte on a pen!
I am really going to regret taking out Wellens the other day
Picking Wellens has been my saviour this week!
Henao 1st. Glad I put him in!
Hesjedal 7th at second check. I was hoping for something a little better. Perhaps I should have gone Rolland.
Could you have fit pozzovivo in?
No, I was 0.5 out! Or I would have had him!
Wellens
Cataldo
Pirazzi
No way. It looks like wellens could be top 10
