To try and make some ground I've gone a little bit southpaw. It will either work in my favour massively or I'll be going down like the Titanic.

EDIT: That Southpaw I've brought in two Movistar guys. :guitar:

Can't believe I transferred Tomasz Marczynski for Mark Renshaw yesterday.

Oh well Atleast I'm ahead of you

If my devious plan pays off tomorrow you won't be. Chances are remote though.

I've made a catastrophic error in putting Sky's Luke Rowe in my team using a free transfer, Can't risk losing a penalty point as you'll be ahead off me.

Who's Hinault again? Fine work from them.

Me!! The random(ish) way is the way forward.

Now...should I change anyone...

Of course! Good work pogue.

Last. No surprises.

Weather stops riding.

Cheers!

Get in there ! About time we nicked something from a game in added on time rather than throwing points away.

Cycling wise - well that was a predictable stage 1 result. Threw up some interesting little cameos though to give food for thought in terms of fantasy transfers. These next two stages promise to be very interesting.

Nice work!

12th for the stage Just one stage in and already one of our own is just outside the GC Top Ten. NSC Cycling Geeks are on for one helluva season I reckon

Wrong bloody Movistar rider come second

 

[Glanders]

As far as I can make out, the first twenty riders finished in the wrong place.

 

[Sussax]

30 penalty points for moi.

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

Jeez. I think i might have scored 0!

Edit: 3 points. My worst fantasy score ever!

I did

So my 25 for the day wasn't too shabby then.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Well, each day I realise there are more scoring opportunities than I first realised. Various points to be scored at intermediate sprints, climbs etc. that I hadn't understood.

Anyway, great performance from Sky, nailed that stage to perfection. Seems quite a few of us are sprinter heavy in our teams perhaps!?

Problem is it is really hard to get a gauge on what the stages are like for these smaller tours. It looked flat enough, but it all depended on how hard they hit that climb. These are the toughest stages to predict as it really can be anyone who gets in the break.

I've shifted my sprinters out in the main, having saved some transfers for this point. Two lumpy stages now so I'm expecting some different riders to feature. I just wish I had stuck with the pick an Izagirre tactic that served me so well last season.
