Criterium du Dauphine stage 7
Gambled a bit this time. Had two transfers left, so took in Rolland and Nibali, on the basis that Rolland will be going for a breakaway today or tomorrow, and that Nibali is only getting started. He didn't look beat to me, more like he was giving Rui Costa the stage. I think (hope) that he will be on fire today.
SIMON YATES (OGE)
VINCENZO NIBALI (AST)
RAFAEL VALLS FERRI (LAM)
DANIEL TEKLEHAIMANOT (MTQ)
PIERRE ROLLAND (EUC)
ROBERT KISERLOVSKI (TSB)
ANDREW TALANSKY (TCG)
TEJAY VAN GARDEREN (BMC)
Should make for some exciting racing

My final transfer made. Scared now.
I'll hold your hand... we'll get through this...
.
We stayed at 893 teams overnight...
The number of unique scores went up by quite a lot to 180 unique scores!... People trying to gamble on breakaways?...
The most common team seems to have been:
Christopher Froome GC 46
Tejay Van Garderen KM 40
Louis Meintjes KM 39
Romain Bardet KM 28
Daniel Teklehaimanot DS 25
Simon Yates AR 21
Robert Kiserlovski DS 2
Arnaud Courteille DS 0
With 19 teams seeming to have this lineup...
The most commonly ocurring score was 201 points (19 teams).
There's always a little slice, a little room for 'perfection'... here's today 'Best Possible Team', which would have only beat today's winners by 'only' 15 points...
38.0 Christopher Froome
30.7 Tejay Van Garderen
22.1 Benat Intxausti
20.1 Alexis Vuillermoz
16.0 Louis Meintjes
15.3 Daniel Navarro
4.5 Daniel Teklehaimanot
3.1 Robert Kiserlovski
149.8 credits 225 points
I think I know what I'm going to do. And it includes keeping Meint-keys
Joel is indeed killing it - good luck! I had Rolland and Elissonde in the break as well as Teklyhaimanot and Meint-keys but Pierre didn't quite do the business - no transfers left so hoping he goes again tomorrow to make it interesting! Still, I'm 4th overall and came about 800th in the Dauphine last year...
Oh what to do for tomorrow. 21 points clear, I have 6 the same as the second place man rui. One transfer left.
Decisions, decisions...
Work out how many transfers the guys got left, might be ya best bet to stick with what ya got.
You've got Bardet & Meintjes, he's got Talansky and Rui Costa, all comes down to who you think is gonna score more points, lol!
Least theres only 1 stage left
He has no transfers left. I could play it safe or I could play it unsafe
1,2,3,6 nornally a canny result but looking at other teams it's a bit naff !
I may have just sneaked over 200 points today on this
1,2,3,6,8,19 + Dan Tek, will take that after scoring less than 60 points in the last 2 stages!
Gonna be hard to beat
I think I have just beaten it having Yates instead of Talansky. Just.
Will defo help on your quest for overall.
Think i've got the same team as you today
Oh yes you have. Nice.
I've got one transfer left. Not sure whether to take Meintjes out for tomorrow.
Me too. Meintjes picked up a lot of mountains points today and 3rd place, and 2nd on KOM standings now I think
1,2,3,6,11,19 + Dan Tek and Courteille
