Giro Stage 19 ITT

I like Swift as well but not in my time trial team but I hope he is in the Tour as he's in my podium team.

Today I've changed Arredondo and Monsalve (big failure) for Hesjedal (6th at first time split) and Henao.

Got Wellens who's first at the moment and Cataldo who's going well, (both very good for me yesterday).
Then Quintana, Uran, Aru, Majka. Duarte rounds my team out. A real bunch of mountains goats of various shapes and sizes.

Now Henao is doing well beating Cataldo's time by 16 secs at the second check.

Swifty is fast turning into a climber.....

So distressing when you rush home to watch an uphill TT and switch the TV on to see Eurosport staying with the tennis coverage instead of the advertised cycling.... Its a joke....

Kenny de Haes finished in 1:27:00 having broken a chain - could well be today's Lanterne Rouge.

I like your selection of zoidl Joel, I had him in before decided to play safe and go with cataldo and poels..

Good luck

Koch home in 1:15.17

inrng expects the winning time to be in the region of 1:05.00 based off rough VAM calcs and Aru's winning climb.

Nairo Alexander Quintana (MOV)
Fabio Aru (AST)

I'm only missing the Tour Top Twenty and Stage Top Ten badges (came joint 11th on one early stage!); sadly neither look likely now.

Still, undoubtedly my best 'badge' performance of the year so far, mustn't grumble.

i stuck henao in to see if i could wangle a full house badge... here's hopin'

The average score from active players on these mountain stages must be massive. Pozzo, Uran, Majka, Rolland, Quintana, Arredondo, Aru have been scoring heavily every day.

No transfers, and (barring a big name drop-out) none tomorrow either. Saving up for t'final sprint stage.

Henao

Off work today so gonna go spin the pedals for couple hours then feet up in front of eurosport

so dropped Kelderman and Chalapud to bring in Uran, he should go well, and can't afford to drop too much time,
hoping doesn't bite me in the backside!
Go Barbin!

Pozzovivo
Arrendondo
Majka
Aru

The flat part isn't even long enough to make up enough time to go TT bike and then change before the climb!!

I bought in Zoidl and Seb Henao for Rabottini and Romero

Rolland
Aru
Uran
Quintana
Kelderman
Majka
Arredondo
Henao
Zoidl

Should be a full house to be honest and a chance of 200pts and skinsuit which would leave the seemingly unattainable top row of badges(unless I can fluke a stage top 10-unlikely without Pozzo or Pelli)

Thing is, with the Zoncolan tomorrow ( ), the same mountain goats will do well both today and tomorrow, it's just a case of who is targeting what.

Still trying to get my damn full-house badge, I've been so close a few times.

No changes for me, really wanted to bring in the Pozzerwagon but couldn't do it without dropping Uran, Rolland or Kelderman which I really don't want to do, especially if Pozzo is still ill.

Was tempted to drop Zardini and Arredondo for Cataldo/Zoidl but it just felt like I was messing around and that the transfers would be better used another day.

had written this stage off as a day off for me, until i just checked the profile, wow! this should be a killer!
I'm back in the game!

Snap no changes for me either, saving transfers for sunday. Fingers crossed for my podium badge today! was 6 points off the 200 badge yesterday
