USA Pro - Stage 3
Well unless the final cat 2 climb throws a spanner in the works then it looks like a nailed on sprint at the end.

Got 177 yesterday; best score for a while (but still a way off the best). If only I'd kept faith in Luka Mezgec.
I did also get only my third full house badge of the season, which I'm quite pleased about
Yes - unlucky Ray!
I'm off to North Wales for a few days now with no internet - hopefully I'll return on Monday with a half-decent purist result for Colorado. As long as none of my Vuelta purists drop out before Saturday...
Enjoyed picking my Vuelta std team with the added constraint that I can't make any transfers until stage 4 - an interesting challenge. Went for 5 climbers and 4 classics-types, mostly from strong TTT teams.
Good luck everyone - here's hoping Jensie and Jacques-Maynes are in the mood for some attacks today!
Unlucky Ray! pretty close dude!
Damn
2nd on the stage and STILL searching for that elusive stage win!!
full house badge though.
Phew, thought I'd dropped Mezgec for a minute there when I checked the results. But safely still in my team.
1,2,4,8,10,14,15
Interesting, there were two crashes in the final 3km

Got a problem with last man home, just sorting it and scores will be up
1, 2, 4, 8, 15 standard
1, 2, 15 + Jensie purist
Unlucky Jensie! Still decent points with the combativity bonus, but always good to see him hang on. Hoping he'll ride a good TT and go for the break again on Saturday!
Think you will have gained a few more points on me (15 for Gallopin, not sure how many voigt will have got, 12 + a few more? 24 maybe), but hopefully many of those above us wont have Mezgec and we can both move up.
1,4,8,10 for my standard team, not good!
1,2,4,8 for my purist team
Not very good again!!
Poor today. 1, 6, 8, 10 + GC
Damn!
I didn't bother making changes as still got my sprinters from stage 1. Got Drombowski in both teams! He had been struggling with nose bleeds on stage 1
Jensie in my purist too
Shut up legs!! 
Fly, Jens, Fly!
Allez jensie!
Dombrowski out is a bit of clanger for my purists but nevermind, Gallopin will have to do well instead!
Hoping for a good score my standard team

That's good, I transferred out dombrowski today. And he's in ter's purist team!
Dombrowski - dns. Medical reasons by all accounts.
G Bennett - dns.
I totally forgot to make changes
Yeah, as nailed on as you can get I think (except maybe for Sunday). One of my sprinters dropped out yesterday so I only have 4 rather than the planned 5, and they're not really proper sprinters apart from Freddy. So not expecting much!
