Did Daniele Colli score 10 points in the game as last rider home? Lindeman was last home, Colli was a DNF (with a shocking injury...)

Contador CAT scans reveal, 'slight instability of left shoulder joint as compared with the right. The rider experienced slight pain.'.

That's a PR understatement of the year. He couldn't move his left arm, flatly refused to put on the pink jersey. It will be a miracle he starts tomorrow, if he does he will severely compromised and his nearest rivals will pounce to take an advantage.

Yes and Bole 15 so all 9 scored and Matthews was lower than all of them so I made the right decision to get rid of him. Couple of sprint stages left and then I'll have about 30 transfers for the TT and mountains. More stage hunting. But I fear no Pelucci might cost me the win as I'm sure there are other people with the same idea!!

Its a different game this year with the new transfer rules. I think you've got to practically ignore some stages now and accept a miserable ranking on them if you want to have any semblance of being able to make changes in the late second / third week. I'm trying to hold as many transfers as possible this week in the hope of later gains.

So made my first 2 transfers of the competition for this stage.
Swapped out 2 sprinters for 2 sprinters. Which means that Gerrans and Lobato will probably finish 1,2 now.
Prob should of kept them in for 2moros stage any ways, but wanted to do something with my team!

Matthews
Viviani
Modolo
Nizzolo
Hofland
Greipel
Mezgec
Betancur
