Alright day today better than some it seems - 112 points+ a few more for other random stuff...
Mollema, Martin, Kessiakoff, Poels in top 20 + few points off other things from Fuglsang, Moreno, Rodriguez. Not bad.
Bought Dan Martin and Poels in before the stage
I've got Mollema and not much else. Could have done my 3 tt ploy by putting in Wiggins instead of J Rod and had Dan Martin too, then played my 2 TT specialists for tomorrow, still
hind sight eh...
Really wish I hadn't transferred in Fischer yesterday. Now I'm either gonna be a rider down for the TT tomorrow or not be able to make the transfers I wanted to tonight
I'm guessing "londonplayer" will be one of the top scorers today with his team if they haven't changed much since yesterday
Gkam,
I'm not so sure. I didnt have Mollema. I was greedy, I ditched Bennati so I could stake everything on scarponi and look what happened. I did have dan martin though....
Tom
PS Any of you guys on twitter?
You'll find me on twitter but i rarely tweet as i dont have much to tweet about
Same name as i have on here
So you did the same as me n put in Scarponi for Mollema, we should have kept faith, i've had him from the start and only took him out lastnight
i'm thinking of bringing in wiggsy and martin tonight . . . but can the other martin do an itt?
i'm thinking of bringing in wiggsy and martin tonight . . . but can the other martin do an itt?
I had neither scarponi nor mollema but went for scarponi. oops...
it might be time to bring in froomy, but don't tell the others.
With a mind on the tt i brought in Martin, bloody typical i picked the wrong one !!!!!
Otherwise not a bad afternoons work.
117 points...
5th on the table today!!!
115 joint 6th best result on a single stage ever
Only 75??? Did the HC climb not get scored?
Damn it, been top in the south west all week, then thought against Dan Martin and got a pissy 56
points compared to yeserdays 129!!! 
Wiggo and Tony for tomorrow
Sorry Gkam84, thems the rules...
"Stage KM: Points awarded for points accrued in the climber's classification from the day's stage. Does not include mountaintop stage finishes."
But the stage was 183.2km long and the HC was at 183km, surely thats not the finish
Gkam, i gained a few points on you today, nice to see wiggins come good, and i also warned everyone cobo was gonna come good (yes he may not have scored as many points as mollema but i expect him 2 beat him come the end. 1,3 and 4 for think i scored 102
hokay so now I have Wiggo, Cancellara and Tony for tomorrow, so you can bet that Grabsch, Phinney, Nibali and Brakovicz take it. However time will tell.
I have NONE of yours
I'm taking a risk, Wiggo did some amount of work today, so i doubt he'll be in the top 5, i took Phinney out a few stages back so no doubt he'll do something
I have gone this way
Stage 75 IN:Jakob FUGLSANG OUT:Daniel MARTIN
Stage 75 IN:Marzio BRUSEGHIN OUT:Pablo LASTRAS GARCIA
I have a feeling Fuggly will be in red tomorrow and Marzio is a decent TT on his day with him being only over 1 min down and 16th, i think he'll get into the top 10 GC, so should gain some points back that way over the ones i lose by not having the winners tomorrow
well out of people that can TT ive got wiggins, bennati (unlikely to do anything but best TTist out of sprinters imo) then t martin and fuglsang and as for allrounders i have froome and kissakoff (however its spelt) who can TT and im sure poels can too so shouldnt be in too bad a shape
yeh i already poels in and needed to get capecchi out so was a choice between machado and froome, so plumped for froome as he could get into top 10 on gc also, but originally was gonna put machado till i changed my mind
And now i will hold it till the end
good luck, you will msot probably overtake me tomorrow i have just made the stupidist mistake, i was meant to swap Dan Martin out for Cancellara but got mixed up and swapped out Fuglsang instead 
Same as me except i've gone for Machado as he seems to be a canny time trialist and not poels
My transfers are easy for tomorrow now that Svitsov came in 9.22 down
OUCHIE
83 today i think, if i hadn't bothered with transfers lastnight i would have had 103
If i had left Mollema in but taken in Kessiakoff it would have been 121
Top 5 points
1 Joa. Rodríguez (KAT) 74
2 Mollema (RAB) 62
3 P. Sagan (LIQ) 50

1 Martin (GRM) 25
2 Montaguti (ALM) 23

Guess which genius, thinking ahead to ITT tomorrow, transferred out Dan Martin for Tony Martin this morning, and was saving bringing Wiggo back in for Rodriguez till tomorrow?
Thanks, you've just brightened up my afternoon
I'm going to work out points for today but also points pre transfers
