Well, I gave them a chance and they buggered it up. 8 points. Bottom (unless you count Cataldo's Crocodiles).
Useless bunch of bastards. Bit by bit, I'll move them on. I hope Degenkolp's season falls to pieces, and that Goss has nothing but failure.

I now have the biggest set of heavy hitters known to (cycling) man.
It'll be points-a-geddon tomorrow.

My 10pt hit was worth it yesterday so I could get 1, 10 and 16. 77pts hauled in.

So, let's get this straight. if you make an 'illegal' transfer, it's a 10 point fine? If so, I may get rid of another of my wankers.

You get two free transfers. Anything more than that and it costs 10pts per rider.

If you carry on like this you'll be slipping into lycra, changing your avatar to a cycling one, and drinking Frijj 3 times a week.
Gentlemen I believe someone else has seen the light
When you have Contador, Froome, Nibali, Velits and Stybar riding for Team Stat you don't need penalty points.

What about if I go over budget? (I know - I'm lazy, and should read the rules myself!)

Watch out for me at The Amex next time, my ManU (9/2) / RVP (13/2) bets tonight are going to win me enough to get Team Tom Hark Preston Park Velodrome on the back of me shirt - with enough left over for a pie and a Bovril

Froome, Contador and Gilbert for Ricco's Dodgy Blood.
Still left with Kittel in my team. Damn that guy. He's turning into the bane of my season.

OOOhh, look at you big boy!
You haven't gone all premium on us have you? Those more money than sensers will have the 3 big hitters and then some in for sure having saved up transfers for this stage. I'm quite chuffed with my 8th on GC so far but watch me slide down tomorrow as I could only manage to take 3 transfers into this stage. As Pantani says, us plebs have no chance of actually competing with Premium players.
Oh, and why did you have to go and put Velits in! That's gone and jinxed it good and proper now.
Sorry about that.
I'm full of cold, knackered and as said not feeling the Oman love, unlike [MENTION=12656]Pantani[/MENTION] who's rockin even with commentary
.So I found I had 4 transfers and pots to spend, 30 seconds later job done and the sofa is calling.

I can fairly safely say you haven't got the shoulders to pull that lot off!

I'm feeling the Oman love personally because the quality of the field and parcours is pretty bloody good for this stage in the season. Such a shame there's no live TV coverage as the tiny bits of highlights I've seen look spectacular. I'd go so far as to say that were there live tv stage coverage of tomorrows stage it'd be worth one of my booked days off work for. Real shame I had to take today off anyway rather than it falling on tomorrow.

It's a pretty good podcast so far. Much better than some of the American ones.
