Vuelta al Pais Vasco - Stage 3

Again, I'll probably live to regret my changes. Had fancied Anton for this one but form suggests otherwise. Perhaps a toss up between Gorka and Ion if going for a Euskatel rider in support of Sanchez.

I just brought in contador and quintana and txurruka, could've made a penalty transfer but fancied keeping Gilbert for today for the reasons mentioned above!

Ah, well, as you've confirmed your team TER I think I can probably release mine (don't want you getting a jump on me ;))

Contador
Porte
Peraud
Fuglsang (who looks in form finally)
Quintana
Spilak
Sanchez (who is a bargain)
Barguil
Betancurt

TERa, if you swapped Talansky (who is quite expensive) for Sanchez (who isn't) then you'd have another 9-10 credits to play with, I suspect that is where the main difference is.

Yeah, Quintana, Sanchez and Spilak were already in my team so with the addition of Contador, Porte, Peraud +3 other climbers I've got a full team for the hills.

Yep, one for Quintana, I think. Got Costa and Porte, too. Dropped Gilbert but always wonder whether I'm wise to do that.

Oh, and I also dropped Albasini and Gilbert today. I can't see Albasini doing much as he prefers the rolling stages, not summit finishes.

Gilbert though might come back to haunt me if he's in some form, the stage today doesn't look too tough except for the final climb so if he's there and feeling good Gilbert may test his legs.

I've made six changes (inc two penalties) and dropped all of my sprinters.

I haven't picked up Txurruka (who I took out of my team an hour or two before the stage 1 deadline  20 ) as I can't see him doing as much today and for me it's all about the final climb which is steep reaching 21% during the last 500m.

Brought in Contador, Porte & Peraud as my obvious ones then three others who are slightly less obvious and unproven.
