Aha.. I thought 1 cat was 10 points.
I had Fraile and only see him as 14 points - 2 Cat1s 2x5 pts and 2nd in KoM 4pts
Omar Fraile only got 14 points.. I believe he should have 24?
Kind of important for me.. Think I'm the new leader if it's corrected
All in all not a great stage for me. But as i have basically no transfers left ive had to go with what I had.
Same as yours Minardi, except two: I had Yates where you have Gesink, and Silin for your Pardilla. I wavered last night between Konig and Gesink, and chose the long play for Konig. Still kicking myself for lack of faith in Gesink. Many scores should be fairly high today, and close, I would think...
All in for the break 3 changes and adding another GC rider, tossup between Yates & Konig.
ELISSONDE
KONIG
VALVERDE
FRAILE
GENIEZ
FROOME
GESINK
PARDILLA
QUINTANA
Personally I think they will bring the break back, purely because I think they will need to lay the hammer down a fair way out in order to try and break Froome. Currently keeping the break around 4 mins
However it is a massive break that has gone, and if it were to stick Gesink and Tejay could be the ones to watch (41 riders).
There will be plenty of no scorers in there too. Just hope Fraile and Geniez get mountain points. I also notice no De Gendt, so I guess he doesn't want a shot at that crown, as anoyone who wants to stop Quintana or Froome taking it needs to be going for points today
Wow, similar teams, we differ on just 2! I tossed between Yates and Scarponi and ended up with Yates. And I have gone Pardilla where you have Hermans
It seems all 4 of my none GC guys are in the break
I actually tossed up between Pardilla and Hermans, but was not expecting Pardilla to be in the break! He would have a good shot at the stage win if they stay away....
