Well at least you guys are in the running I forgot to do any changes I cant get used to this tour being at night here. so I am lucky to see a few minutes before I rush out to work never mind remembering to do team changes.
Only a 10 point penalty, fancy my chances at this, Can't believe the lack of Craddock in teams
Cav
Phinney
Wiggins
Craddock
Dennis
Sergent
Tvetcov
Stetina
Brochner
Nice Pick Tvetcov, got him in my purist
But you missed THE GUN...Aussie Damien Howson is WORLD junior TT champ and he absolutely destroyed them.
This is his Senior UCI tour ITT Debut, I am so excited.
3 trades 10 pen pts.

BOOM, SERGENT, DENNIS in
Sagan

Rohan Dennis (GRS)
Janier Alexis Acevedo (GRS)

Taylor Phinney (BMC)
Ryan Anderson (OPM)
Matthew Harley Goss (OGE)
Thomas Zirbel (OPM)
Lars Boom (BLK)
Luke Rowe (SKY)

Gone for the following with one eye on stage 3.
Rohan Dennis
Matthew Busche
Jesse Sergent
Taylor Phinney
Bradley Wiggins
Jens Mouris
Martin Kohler
Niki Terpstra
Kirk Carlsen
I didn't think I cared about this comp what with it interfering with the Giro and being on too late, but I'm being sucked in.
I really wonder what Terpstra will do today. Although I'd probably consider him likely to top 5 in a normal circumstance, I'd be surprised if he's really going to go for it in light of his P-R victory, and with so many other people earmarking this competition (and this stage) as they are going to win jack-all the rest of the year. Accordingly my team and its penalties are a massive lay bet on Niki.
Phinney
Wiggins
Dennis
Sergent
Bodnar
Tvetcov
Howson
Cav
Stetina
3 pens
30 point pen, but tried for a bit of balance nonetheless with TT-ers who can climb. Will still have to make at least two transfers tomorrow though, and then pens again for the next sprint stage.
Interested in the outcome of this one. Phinney's been sounding very confident, but I have a sneaking fancy that Rohan Dennis might just surprise everyone and take the win.
(N.B. if I had to stake actual money on it, it'd be Wiggins all the way)
I may have done 7 transfers, but probably will only do 3 tomorrow.
30 in pens for me and I'll probably take them all out tomorrow as well
I fear mine may be a bridge too far...
only one penalty for me, feel like i've made a grave mistake or i could be damn lucky
5 transfers for me (30 pens) but can't help but feel it's not gonna be enough
Wowsa indeed! Let's hope this works.
Wowsa! I took 20 pens, leaving me six TTers plus Cav, one cheap sprinter and a GC guy who might get top 20 today. Admittedly probably another 30 pens tomorrow...
