Vuelta Stage 18

I've 4 transfers left, so hopefully sunday i'll bring in the sprinty guys
Having my best fantasy race ever and absolutely loving it

Up to 7th Nick, nice one

You could still catch me at this rate

Good job the computer does the math as I obviously cant add up! Still in the hunt but a lack of transfers and a big risk make me very vulnerable, especially so for saturday and even tomorrow, a lack of Chaves worries me and my choice of Moreno costly, as is Simon. Thanks goes to Madrazo today, abit of a save. Had the break stayed away properly id be in a strong position but nevermind

Simon/Moreno for the win tomorrow is needed

5,6,11,12,13,14,15 +5 team bonus and fraile should keep me top 20 maybe even back to top 10?

Gutted as I dont have the transfers to rectify it!

Roche has effectively killed my chances, as well as brambilla! The fact Moreno and Rojas didnt sprint it out at the end also

I feel your pain, I've completely buggered this one up.

There goes my 2nd position

yeah, I'm not expecting him to surface until Saturday if he even does but if I'm bringing him in then, I may as well do it today for his 5 KoM standing points for two days rather than have a do nothing TTer left in the ranks.

Fraile has the KOM jersey wrapped up. Can't see him making any moves until Saturday when he might fancy stretching his legs to put it completely out of reach.

Visconti tried to get across but that was shut down by Giant. Almost brought him in but decided on making no changes today other than picking up Frailes KoM points as its too unpredictable. Although he doesn't need too hoping force of habit has him hovering up Saturdays points too. 10 left to bring in the rest of the likelys for Saturday then switch out as many as I can for the final sprint.

Had oliveria this morning then took him out for simin, that could cost me the vuelta now!

Lampre-packed breakaway please!

Used up my last 4 transfers, because I have no way of knowing how the last few stages will go (Sunday excepted). Kept Dumoulin, Aru and J-Rod; got in Degenkolb, Van Poppel, Rojas and Schleck.
Might just have enough to cling onto a top 20.

Gone risky
