OK. Sounds pretty poor then if the only time that safeguarding/bullying/"seedy" issues are raised is if somebody doesn't pay their bills.

Congrats for the stage win, enrique!
Here's yesterday's stage summary:
Yesterday we had 891 teams in the competition... 7 more teams joined the competition overnight... No...
They weren't mine... 
We went back down to 157 unique scores, which I take to mean we went back to people choosing more similar teams. Quite a drop from the 345 unique scores in the TTT!
Here's what seems to have been the most common team selection for Stage 4 with 21 teams which had the most commen score seeming to share these scoring riders:
Nacer Bouhanni PC
Edvald Boasson Hagen DS
Luka Mezgec PC
Julian Alaphilippe AR
The usual caveats apply.
Thanks, ryan!
I was in good company, too!

The new transfer rules make me feel like I'm playing poker. I need to struggle to keep cool for a certain number of stages (making a purist-ish sort of a team and holding on to it for as long as I can with just fairly small tweaks) and then, when the type of stages changes drastically, I feel like I'm going all in... that's where you need to be spot on (especially in the shorter stage races where there's really no time to make amends). Ah, the pressure...
That's a good analogy... I hope some day we go back to having penalty transfers... I think they help you alleviate the anxiety distribute the risk and feel less pressure... I still wonder why we got rid of them...
Yeah I know. I've already conceded this year on that one. A year of learning!
Bah, terrible for me...
Joel is tearing it up
(Although Dennis leading and Vangec 2nd for my FSL team Joel
)
1,3,4,6 + Dennis. Not bad but not brilliant either.
Solid for me. Alaphilippe is a beast - I keep thinking he MUST be knackered by now but he keeps going. At least he's in my purists.
All change tonight - will be lots of different teams tomorrow!
1,2,3,4,6 plus TJ, Dennis and Teklehaimanot
1. Nacer Bouhanni 5.30.53
2. Jonas Van Genechten
3. Luka Mezgec
4. Edvald Boasson Hagen
5. Alexey Tsatevich
6. Julian Alaphilippe
7. Samuel Dumoulin
8. Tiesj Benoot
9. Kevin Reza
10. Nathan Haas
Its not often a bit of a punt comes off, single transfer brought in Van Genechten for today for 1/2/3/4/6 of the top 10.
