No idea what I was thinking last night. Only ended up with 15 & 17. I do have the pink and blue Jersey points though.

How come the shortest stage gets the longest highlights?

Just finished watching highlights. You sum the sprint situation up perfectly...the others must be so disheartened.
Road cc is down at the moment so can't check scores. One things for sure, I made another schoolboy error last night that lost me 9 pts and a free transfer today. Also didn't put Kristoff back in, having put him in for the trickier sprint the other day - again, another mistake.
Really looking forward to tomorrow now.

Fantasy.Road.cc is still down. How can I show you all up if I can't make any transfers?
Ok then chaps, here are my goats.
NSC's finest & Roman, as usual.
Henao & J Rod
Cabedo, Pauwels, Pozzovivo, Rubiano, Tiralongo.
There's a couple of others I'd like in, but I think there's a few points there, for starters.

Looks good, I'm gonna be stuck with at least one sprinter for tomorrow plus my teams very own Ashley Barnes*, Jesse Sergent, survives for yet another day as I have more important transfers to make. He was put in for the prologue in the hopes he might do something but has survived 13 stages now, contributing about ten points along the way, thanks Jesse.
* Obscure football reference, for those that are in to that sport.
I very nearly went back to Stanbrogio 
for about the 4th time, but I resisted.
Ryder's my only mainstay, naturally I'd love for him to be relevant for the whole 3 weeks.
Roman has popped out but not for long, and may well be back for good.
I need to find some cash to swap Henao for someone.
Pauwels will probably come out to generate some more cash for the star position leaving one last, very cheap climber.

I was correct 1066 beat me by eight today. Every day I think I might catch up a bit, every day he scores a little more than me.

My absent mindedness from this morning has left me with 4 transfers for the mountain stages. Needless to say, out with Goss and Demare. Have opted for Uran (should be some guaranteed young rider points) and Basso. Other ones have been used on random domestiques who finished ok in the other mountain stages and don't cost much!
It looks very much like I'm chasing Pantani for second place. The top spot is becoming a bit of a procession!

That top spot can change easily yet, still a way to go. As I say, I can't believe I screwed up last night. Lost a few valuable points but, more importantly, a wasted transfer from the bank as a result. Transfers more than anything are going to be crucial, especially as there's still one more sprint stage tucked in amongst the mountains and that all important ITT to finish. Transforming a team to suit each stage with just 2 transfers per day is tough.

Nieve is back for me, alongside J-Rod, Roman K and Intxausti. Doms are the other J-Rod, Malori, Golas, Rubiano and Nizzoli.

I've got Lancaster, so that is one man down already.

So, will Cav make it in the time limit today?

Guess who is in the breakaway... AGAIN!

ah I see.
It's not a comedy day today, then
I don't think Cav will be laughing at the finish, but someone different may be laughing in the pink.
