Giro Stage 6

So who's your main man/men for today?

I haven't got a clue who i'm going to put in.

I could play safe and put a couple of guys who will score from the GC, but i already have Cav, GT and Nava. So i'm not sure.

I was going to start making my climbers come in, but there are still flat stages to come and the big climbs don't really hit till stage 14. Most others the punchy sprinters should manage. Not the likes of Cav and Farrar though  39

I suppose 5 points is better than the zero I'd have got from Haedo (expect him to roll home last now)

Sorry if you picked up Bennati for today

Quote:

Navardauskas is a minute down on the peloton .Bennati was dropped with him, a testament to how tough today's finish. Pozzato is in the peloton, he's a good bet for today if the break is caught.

From Cycling News - "We're hearing that Tyler Farrar has crashed out of the Giro."

Re Benatti - I doubt many people brought him in for today, but of course many (including me) may still have him in from before. My plan was to drop him after today, I ran out of transfers yesterday...

Didn't even consider Rubiano this morning (other than in passing) so not too miffed I missed out, although the 70-something points he'll probably get for KoM points, KoM jersey, GC and stage win will make a few people very happy.

Rubiano wins, picked by 1% of teams, no doubt the top ones who'll get even further ahead  2

Team Garmin-Barracuda
Update: Tyler Farrar crashed and was taken to the hospital in Jensi via ambulance with our team doctor, where he was evaluated. He suffered multiple lacerations to his hand and numerous abrasions.

According to our team doctor Shannon Sovndal, he also suffered a laceration to a superficial artery in the back of his left hand. Preliminary x-rays show no fractures and exam didn't reveal any tendon injury. His wounds have been treated and he is enroute back to the team hotel.

If someone else could post the results when they are up on here http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/Giroditalia/2012/en/?lang=en

Malori now if Pink but was LR last year

Cause its my birthday and i'm away out. If every team wants to donate 1 point, it would be great  3

66 points for Rubiano. Nice.  4

Edit - make that 69, he's also 3rd in the points classification.

Well great day for me today
none in top 16
1 x team bonus
3rd & 7th GC
1st points
22 in total for me, big letdown from 169 yesterday, that said I beat most the team around me in overall except the with the new no. 1 team ManxMissiles with Rubiano and now 2nd overall Punctured with Pozatto

So most top 20 overall teams score less than 20 points, with a couple of exceptions

Taylor Phinney last over the line, so 10 points for anybody who still has him.
