Forum Scorum is very tight Twy! 6 points between us top 3...
Stick or twist on J-Rod?
Saving himself yesterday to get todays mountain points?
Gonna have to stick, I expect a GC day at some point
Ahhh who knows what to do!
Well done Twy.
I can't complain with my scores so far.
8th Purist
49th Standard
32nd Frenchies (higher if you don't include the person who is first who has Degenkolb, Martin, Roelandts and Moser in his French team)
A decent Tour.
Took out Bardet for Rolland and Sanchez - lost 30 points. Plus Dux 89 had Fuglsang and Rolland. My mini league is getting very competitive.
EDIT - but got the lead back in Forum Scorum - yippee
Maybe Sanchez gets 'em all back for you tomorrow?
Can't be bad to be in with a chance of a 1,2 for my french riders team
Pundits kept saying someone needs to go for a long one. Contador briefly tried, but they were never going to distance Froome on the Lacets.
Must.go.there. Views look incredible.
get there, simply can not be beaten
Lacets a new one to visit !
But a stage like yesterday with barely real attacks on Froome again, so comfortable because the others got nowt.
Having an okay stage, but gutted because I transferred Bardet and he's one of my favourites
I had a nightmare yesterday and rotated my team a fair bit
Bardet ruining my chances here today
What beautiful views today!
I brought Pinot in for Bardet, what a great way to screw up my tour at this late stage!
Ouch... What was your lead coming into today?... Bardet might take the win today...
it was 50 points. Have Rolland which helps, but Bardet scored massive points...
Yeah same here- Rolland eases the pain.
Hope bardet doesn't cost you too badly.
I hope you've got some more triccky transfers like this one to keep us all in the game!
Just trying to keep it interesting cherrypicked!
This is all getting quite tasty! Purito hoovering up all the KOM points, good chance of being 1st at the top of Glandon.
Pinot's not having the best of days though, yesterday's effort taking it's toll.
Yea Meintjes was ill yesterday, got lantern rouge as well.
No changes for me today! Saving for tomorrow!
wanted Purito for this stage but running low on transfers. He is mopping up the KOM points!
6 riders who are all good climbers, it is looking good for you Condor. I brought in Pinot, thankfully he is in the break...

6 in the break. Brilliant!!!
Sorry about Louis dude, he's looked in good shape.
I've made no changes and I have 6 riders in the break!
Purito, Fuglsang, Sicard, Jungels, Pauwels (again) and Plaza!
Pinot and Bardet have made a move as well as Talansky and Rolland, we're all set for an exciting stage!
