I managed to miss all the BMC and Green Edge excitement.

Wow. Seriously tight at the top now.

Yep I've narrowed to nearly 200 points behind!

I've just realised you mean GC and not out bloody silly, all encompassing, fantasy league

Well I've got in early with my changes, I only had 3, so it's been tricky.
I've gone for Farrar tomorrow.

But why have I gone back to people I started with and got no points from the then grrr.

You was top scorer today in our little league

No. I meant the most important one - the NSC league!

Transfers done for tomorrow now. Had to use all 2 again (having used 4 for today). So far I'm reacting on a day to day basis. Hoping that not getting spare transfers in the bank won't come back to bite me too much.

I'm surprised how much I'm getting into this!

Haven't been this excited since I won a jersey from cycling weekly for (almost) correctly predicting the winner's time for the tdf alpe d'huez stage in about 94. If only that twat with camera hadn't knocked him off half a mile from the line the zip 440s would have been mine!

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

Excited about cycling related competitions, I should add. What a sad existence it would have been if my life had peaked during a magazine competition when I was 14!

Not making transfers today. Saving them for when it gets bumpy.

I just can't quite put my finger on why only 6 ish people post on this thread.
And when someone else does pop up, not from round these parts, they only stay for a couple of days.

Oh and carrying on from the attire sub-section, I must have mentioned this before, but hey.

Ages ago I past as fella on a full Celeste Bianchi, nothing wrong with that.

But he was wearing:-
Celeste top
shorts
socks
shades
and cap.
He might even have had a Celeste helmet on.
If he did only his shoes weren't Celeste green.

There was no other colour in any way attached to this fella.

At least it wasn't Farnese Vini. Even the professionals look stupid in that kit.

What is it with Italian cycling teams and day-glo colours? Farnese-Vini yellow; Lampre pink; Liquigas green. It is only Androni letting the side down but they are only partially italian.

Team for today:

Cav, Goss, Farrar, Hunter, Phinney, Demare, Sergent, Lancaster, Bodnar.

Sprinters super team, all eggs in one basket, pretend tomorrow isn't hilleous.

 

[Stat Brother]

Ryder & Roman, Tyler & Jens Keuk (Green).
Boaro, Phinney (for the last time) Sambrogio, Ullissi, he owes me, Pauwels, nod for tomorrow.

Last July, if I was ever going to buy a car, it would have been a Skoda.
But I'll be jiggered if I'm holidaying in Azerbaijan.

 

[1066familyman]

Phinney down yet again !

 

[Stat Brother]

It didn't take long to close down that 5 min gap.
