Considering my transfers and I don't think I'm going to make any.
I wanted to bring in Cav but with Greipel already I'd have to drop either Chavanel and Kwaitkowski (so I can bring in Kristoff) or Chava and someone like Gerrans bringing in Cav and a cheap rider.
Either way I don't think it's worth it given that Chava/Kwiat got 28 points yesterday so including future transfers Cav would need to score 40 odd points today and Kristoff another 15-20 just to break even.
Agree Alan, but we shall see :?. Gutted with my Kittel transfer though, after showing nothing Nava comes 8th, whats that all about, cost me 14 points and a transfer, but Kittel should be there tomorrow
I'd had Navardauskas in for the first four stages to no avail, then swapped to Kittel as well...
Bad day for me .....still team is now set so can bank a few transfers come the summit finish
Well that was S***. Made 20 pointer penalty and ended up with 67 points.
Came in something like 4000th and dropped over 400 places.
Stage win now is all i can get from this tour, really disapointed
Got Cav, Greipel, Von Poppel, Gerrans and Kwiat today.
Hopefully go up a few places or remain level, no transfers tomorrow leaving 4 for Friday
Good day for my cycling news (Halford's game as was) team: 1,2,3,4 and 6. You can pack them in in that game!! And there's a decent prize for the wheelsucker mini-league. Anyone else a member of that?
Average day for my actual team. I'd dropped EBH, but had Sagan, Kristoff, Gerrans and El Fares, plus a few crumbs of jersey points from Kwiatkowski.
No changes for tomorrow, or the day after (barring withdrawals).
El Fares in 20th
A few points finally for my Animal Purist squad, namely the Beast, the Gorilla and the Honey Badger.
Not too bad. At least Gerrans and D van Poppel got a few points. Bit too tough for Kittel or was it Degenkolb's turn. Bringing in Greipel for Kwia wouldn't have made any points with a pen (and I haven't needed to make one of those yet). Going to save some transfers now. Team reasonable for next couple of days, then all change.
15-20:
16.GARCIA ECHEGUIBEL Egoitz
17.SABATINI Fabio
18.STEEGMANS Gert
19.POELS Wouter
20.EL FARES Julien
and Sicard was your Lanterne Rouge for the day.
Will drop Chava for Cav tonight and possibly bring in Kristoff too. Kittel dissapointed but got taken down in a crash 15km from the finish so that was just bad luck. Will be keeping Greipel.
Top 15, there was a crash 200m out so the rest not available yet:
1.CAVENDISH Mark
2.BOASSON HAGEN Edvald
3.SAGAN Peter
4.GREIPEL André
5.FERRARI Roberto
6.KRISTOFF Alexander
7.LOBATO DEL VALLE Juan José
8.NAVARDAUSKAS Ramunas
9.LEMOINE Cyril
10.ROJAS José Joaquin
11.DUMOULIN Samuel
12.DEGENKOLB John
13.TRENTIN Matteo
14.VAN POPPEL Danny
15.GERRANS Simon
Played it cagey and worked out OK - Had Sagan and Kristoff, plus GC points for Gerro, Albo and Kwiato. Nearly brought in Greipel for a 10-pt pen, but that would only have got me about 6 more points. 2 sprinters in for Kwiatowski and ALbasini tomorrow (probably...)
Sagan
Kittel
Gerrans
Kristoff
Cimolai
Kwiatkowski
Erviti Ollo
El Fares
Palacios
Made THREE penalty transfers... But will hopefully be set till Saturday, when it's all change again.
NO transfers today....that's three in the bank already for AX 3 Domaines
EBH
Gerrans
Kwiatkowski
Millar
Navardauskas
Terpstra
Gasparotto
Hoogerland
Fischer
currently sitting 100th
I made 6 changes having not scored more than 39 points this tour
Dmitriy Muravyev
Mark Cavendish
Marcel Kittel
Danny Van Poppel
Simon Gerrans
Elia Favilli
Imanol Erviti Ollo
Albert Timmer
José Ivan Gutierrez Palacios
If I had made no changes from my stage one team, I would have been scoring well
Although I have bought kittel in I can see it suiting Sagan Rojas and Gavazzi more due to it being so rolling plus the final climb seems to be a bit of a pig as the top is quite steep , still you could see a break stick
Hopefully we are now arriving at the bit that really pisses Enrique off......
I have gone all in on the sprinters
Cavs
Kristoff
Kittel
D Van Pops
Favilli
with Gerrans and Kwiatowski for overall points
Couple of no hopers to fill in.
looking at the early breakaways considered all of those names and put none of the in. Arashiro was a name well up my list, disappointed If he makes it all the way.
Kwia
EBH
Impey
Kittel
JJ Rojas
Simon
Ugalde
Mederel
Willems
20 pen points sets me for the next few days. Save up my transfers for the summit finish Saturday
Not sure about my team, but didn't want to go crazy and get it wrong, so I guess im half and half, as tomorrow is flat. Will bring in Greipel and Cav tomorrow for Sagan and EBH I think.
Sagan
EBH
Gerrans
Kwiatkowski
Kittel
Bono
Mederel
Fischer
Gutierrez
Probably not much point now
