Giro D'Italia - Stage 15
Now it really begins! Might already be over for some, but these next few stages will settle the GC.
Feel for Porte! Should prob take it easy now and rest up for the Tour, or go for a stage, dependant on his knee etc.

I may keep my transfer for a rainy day.

thats for the mountains, you just have to toggle between things within that page for the other bits and bobs
yeh I need to re-update as I didnt have the combat info at the time
TER, can you put up a link to the page you are using for the intermediate sprints and the KOM please? Thanks...
Still got 19 transfers so going to leave my team as it is and go for a stage win later. I've got no chance of overall in any league.
Ive got 13, so at least I can get rid of Uran. My thoughts are will Geschke do anything. and I can go for the stage on the last day

This sounded very similar to my dilemma. Even more so when checking the stage results I discovered we had identical teams today. You have an extra transfer to use this week.
looks like my 1,3,4,5,6,15 + Intxausti and Geschke is not going to be very good having seen the teams of everyone else!

Phil, where are you getting these? That's pretty detailed! I've been trying to check out the official site, but I don't see where they post the KOM points or the intermediate sprints... Can someone point them out to me? I checked CN right now and I don't see them. Thanks! By the way, I think Landa got the combativity prize today... Are we awarding that classification 10 points like we used to? Thanks!
I follow the text from liveradsport, which is always the quickest and most comprehensive. It is a Swiss website - typical efficiency.
Porte has withdrawn from the race on medical grounds. Sky twitter
That was an answer to Enrique's question by the way.
thanks, TER... Nice feed, Phil! Thanks!
Is that in english?
No it's in German, which I don't speak, but it's quite easy to follow.

So few transfers left now, this is like playing purist for me now.

Kruijswijk
Betancur

Gatto (AND)

Took a risk and left him in. Hopefully he can pull a stage win out the bag at some point.
Got a feeling Uran might fade now too, so my gamble is leaving Porte in and not transferring Uran in.
