Vuelta Stage 12
Looks like another Vuelta 'sprint stage'. Basically pretty flat with a technical finish (including a slight rise) at the end.
I've brought in four for today, Meersman, Matthews, Richeze and Farrar (breaking fantasy cycling rule #2) and I used my spare transfer to swap Rodriguez for Valverde in the hope that he tries to pick up the points jersey for a few days.

I didnt get it completely wrong at least, 2,3,5,11 was better than most with 14th on stage
3 winners today
1 Berties allsorts blowndes 157
1= liamsmale liamsmale 157
1= Team El Flaco flaco 157
As always thought about Gilbert, but after bringing him in so many times, only for disappointment, I made it my rule not to bring him in! Doh!
I think that's Gilbert's first win in the rainbow jersey, no?
Poor stage for me, only vague highlight being 10th place for Dempster, who I picked on a whim.
Funny old stage tomorrow. Might just write it off and save the transfers for the mountains.
Poor day for me, that knocks me right out of it and possibly dropping a good few places in the Forum Scorum too. 3, 5 and 16 and that's it.
Gilbert wins! Matthews blew it and Stybar nowhere!
Got Matthews, Stybar and Gilbert for today + GC.
Similar to Wig Billy.
No Soupe for dinner. He's abandoned.
Spartacus
Matthews
Richeze
Farrar
Nibali
Valverde

Basso
Horner
confirmado el abandono de Marco Pinotti (57)
Pinotti DNS today.
So we go pretty much opposite Wig, I think im gonna be wrong again then! Hope not as alls i seem to have been is wrong with red arrows!
Gonna need penalties after today, my problem is that I think Moreno will win tomorrow (unless my wildcard goes for it) but is gonna be nowhere after that, and I don't wanna make loads of penalties
I may even leave EBH in for tomorrow as the Cat 1 is a fair way from the finish and with tough stages to come after that can't see much attacking on it
I think tomorrow is quite a good stage for EBH. He doesn't seem to be in top shape, but I still think he'll do something.
Gambling on today not being a straightforward sprint.
Valverde
Roche
Moreno
Horner
LL Sanchez
Cancellara
Gilbert
Stybar
EBH
Are you dr who, always picking the winner mr wig? Do you have a tardis.
Not sure what to make of that - 1,2 but nothing else.
Oh, and Lasca finally got some decent points for my purist team.
Ive gone for it today, wasn't going to but did
