Whoa that was close! My best ever finish in a tour and 4 points off first! Hell of a fight boys and girls.
It is surprisingly stressful once you get to the pointy end of a race! Like you, I have been close but never brought home a stage race..... Gives us something to aim for! Great effort though!
Oooh.... unlucky.
Seven transfers left with two stages to go...not sure I've been in this position before.
Another deadline missed today. Mixed feelings because I was going to go with Bauhaus and Hodeg back in. Bauhaus did as expected whilst Hodeg bombed a bit.
I've missed a lot this summer.
Vendrame definitely gone backwards this year. He was reasonable in both sprinting and climbing for a while, not a winner but definitely a pick for us....this course would have been right up his street a couple of years ago. Strange how some riders just slide away.
And just when you give up on him.......! I've got the same feeling about Garcia Cortina, seems to be neither a sprinter or a puncheur currently.
I kept him for one more time.... but I did ditch Cortina.
Get those kind of riders right and it's really nice tick over points with no transfers. The problem seems to be because they're neither one thing or the other they tend to be quick to disappear.... I suppose it only takes a minor dip in form, or confidence, for them to fall out of the top twenty.
They are 'niche' riders. The finish has to be perfect for them or they fall foul of the proper sprinters or proper climbers. This race is a bit easier to call as the hills aren't too demanding and the sprints are mostly tough ones, so riders like Ulissi and Mohoric are good for most stages. Hasn't stopped me from getting it wrong a few times though!
I wish to report a robbery..... 5 points have been stolen from Dylan Teuns!
They were in a ghost column to the right!
Phew! Thanks for sorting!
Nice user friendly pricing for this one. Goodo.
