Stage 14 La Vuelta
Still another hour and a half till they set off, so to save me forgetting after i've been out for a spin, here's your daily post
http://skysports.html.infostradasports.com/cache/lib/Tour/2/TheASP.asp@P...
Tough day and can see it being only a handful of the GC guys getting up the final climb, so made a couple of changes, I just hope Dan Martin aint feeling it today as i took him out for L L Sanchez

Tried to work out my points for today and got 149 !!!
I hope i've done it right but i doubt it as it's the first time i've had a go at working it out.
Here's hoping though
113 for me today, once i sorted out the points and mountains had changed slightly
so who's everybody transfering today ???
Wiggo out for Dessel and then Froome out for Doi
risky business but could possibly pay off :)!!
Well after Wiggo's interview saying team sky are going to get Sutton into red, then its gotta be done eh............everyone saw that right?
As far as i know, he was taken off the course after the ITT because his bike was not considered UCI spec
Eh?
Gonna take out dan martin for tomorrow, steady 131 points today
I was right, 149 points today. Decision now is, do i or dont i change anyone.
My head says Taaramae will not have the legs tomorrow but who do i swap him for
Stage 80 IN:Cyril DESSEL OUT:Bradley WIGGINS
Stage 80 IN:Yukihiro DOI OUT:Christopher FROOME
Got Mollema in for Moncoutie as I'm sure Mollema was playing conservative today, planning an attack tomorrow where the climb will suit Wiggo less. Not sure about the other one. Sorensen out maybe, but who for? Doi maybe?
Got Pardilla in for Martin and Lagustin for Montaguti.
Whats your team for today? you counted in the bonuses?
OK, thanks for the tip
I'm trying to find Mr.McHenry [on his trike] in the listings
How can you call 131 steady FFS, thats greed man.
I've not been able to update for 2 days because I've been doing the son to University thing, so my team has achieved 95 and 82 points without me. Heh heh.
OH FFS
i've done it again, lol, i did the HC instead of Cat 1, lol
Gkam - I am currently working through scores and have 32 for Taaramae, where are you getting 34 from?
20 Stage + 4 Stage PC + 6 Stage KM + 2 Overall KM = 32
I had 1st, 5,6,7,13,14,15 today. Dont know what that will bring me in points but it wont be to bad.
81 + mountain points (if any) second poor day in a row
Scarponi abandoned today (as did Kartsen Kroon after hos crash) - worth knowing if you still have him in your team (though I suspect most transferred him out last week)
swapped Froome for Moreno???http://road.cc/sites/all/modules/smileys/packs/Yahoo!/crying.gif
I thought having 2 Sky riders was a bit too risky.
Also Fuglsang for Martin? Might swap that back or build for 16.
Otherwise had 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th, 13th and 16th, so shouldn't be too bad, could have been great though.
Reckon tomorrow's climb will be different though. Sticking with Wiggins but don't rule out Cobo, Mollema and Purito could still come back. Wiggins and Froome expended a lot of energy today and the terrain suited them. The road was better than anything around Cambridge. Shit! It was better than an English motorway! Not sure the Angliru will be quite so smooth and the gradient is much tougher. It's a three-part test and maybe Purito and Nibali understand that better than Wiggins but I hope he doesn't crack.
should never have took wiggins out for nibali :(!, but 111 points isnt too bad !!
96 I think, and that's without Taaramae. Taaramae instead of Sorensen would have had me rolling in points.
110 for me today i think, not so bad, but if i had gone with what i thought, i would have only had 118, so not bad
Okay, I take it back, I might have done all right for points today
Taaramae should have scored 34 points today

Glad i put in taaramae now - loads a points hopefully.
Christ, Nibali and Rodriguez lost about 1:20 by the look of things. Being a GC contender isn't about being the strongest climber, it's about being the most consistent...
