Vuelta Pais Vasco - Stage 3
My instinct today was to make some changes, drop Matthews/Swift/Ratto and bring in Kwiatowski, Cunego and another cheaper rider but I've gone against that and made no changes at all.
I'm concerned that today will go the same way as yesterday with a breakaway staying out but Orica have won this stage (similar/same route) for the last two years on a sprint finish so fingers crossed that happens again. Also, big day tomorrow so surely the GC boys will be fairly quiet?
Anyway:
Valverde, Contador, Peraud, Swift, Matthews, Ratto, Durasek, Fedrigo, Arroyo

We has a winner

You're certainly 'funky' with your announcements!
I dont like it, but it seems like you're in a chipper mood! 
Slightly better day for me. 1,3,4,9 &10 for my standard team plus a few other scoring riders. Not sure who to bring in for tomorrow though
1,4,6,7,10,16,17 and a team mate bonus
If only Koldo had placed 1 higher I'd have had my first full house 
Of course I'm now screwed for tomorrow but I've done craply in this so far so 1 goodish day is a bonus.
Here we go:

Lol - 3,4,6, and dropped 1 and 7 before the stage! What a dumbass.
Damn I had two of those breakaway riders!
All back together. #PaisVasco #itzulia 21km
#Itzulia 6 leaders: A Schleck, Berhane, King, Fraile, Villela and Montaguti
Even though I had the sprinty guys a combination of penalties and GC guys contesting the sprint gave me a low score. So couple of tweaks for today
Valverde
Cunego(Trofimov)
Matthews
Swift
Slagter
Martens
Landa(olivier)
Arashiro(Tosh Van Der Sande)
Villella
The stage finishes in Vitoria Gasteiz, Koldo Fernandez's home town
As it did last year when he finished 91st.
Didn't put him in the team.
Did bring in Villella for Adam Yates though
#itzulia Ruben Fernandez now has a 10 minute lead!
Made the mistake yesterday of no quick guys so brought in Swift and Matthews for todays stage. Looking at the profile it wont be difficult for them all to stay together but it depends on who is in any breaks.
