Tour de Romandie - Stage 1
I'm probably going to look stupid later for not picking Cavendish or Goss today. I think the victory will come from a Belgian or Italian, though.

awesome, I have exactly none of those people in either of my teams....
Also, penalty transfers for the win!
Great another crash and burn day....

Get in i got exactly - no one in the top 20
No one in the top 20 either, damn and blast.
19 and 20. poor.
I'm quite proud that I predicted the nationalities of the 1, 2. I meant Meersman and Gavazzi though. Ah well. Onto tomorrow...
101 except I used 5 transfers so... 71... not amazing but hopefully I'm set up well for the next two days.
My aim for the week is to get to 8000 points so that I have a more realistic chance of hitting 10k during the Giro. Unfortunately after a couple of lacklustre days that means I need to average 130+ for the next four stages.
Not a good day - only bright spot was picking Bille. Rui Costa and Meersman now in.
Good, cos i aint got any of them

3 Veilleux
Km 112.1, 1er sprint PMU à La Sarraz :
1er Bérard , 6pts.
2e Bravo , 3pts.
3 Veilleux , 1pt.
You can type faster than me
And in french at that
The three leaders went through the sprint with a lead of 2.05. Don't know which order. 63.5km to go
I've mainly got guys that I'm hoping will be in the mix regardless of whether the top sprinters get dropped. So Wyss, Goss, Meersman, Nizzolo, Dehaes and Albasini (hopefully he will sprint if Goss is dropped).
But every decision I've made for Romandie so far has been the wrong one - I even had Berard in my team initially. So not expecting much today!
