Giro Stage 7

Underway with a 4 man group 7 minutes ahead, breakaway is:
Selvaggi,
Rabottini
Beppu
Hollenstein

Looks like a similar day to yesterday although I expect it to all come back together ahead of the final climb.

Who did you all transfer in for today?

the rollover transfers don't get allocated until the game is updated after a stage

Hope to see you back picking duff transfers as well as usual GKAM very soon.

I've done ok at fantasy cycling today, but, as a Bolton fan, I'm contemplating the reality of relegation, so my transfers may be a little pessimistic.

Today's transfer policy has been picked by my girlfriend who thought I should transfer in Rigoberto Uran and Dommenico Pozzovivo because she liked the names, ditched Goss and Lancaster so will have to use one of tonights transfers to bring in Goss and I won't be able to work Cav into my team.

I always struggle when the race swaps from flat to mountain and back again over 4 or 5 days like its going to do this week. I never seem to have the right guys or the right balance between climbers and sprinters.

Fair enough, might pop a topic in the forum just so no-one can complain.

True - I have absolutely no idea how to do that though. Just had a poke around behind the scenes and rather than break the game I'm going to leave well alone till Dave is back from his ride.

Evening Gkam, hope everything's ok.

Will do my best to keep text up to date tomorrow although most of what I get is from http://live.cyclingnews.com as I don't have Eurosport  2

Managed 70 today, not sure on tonight's transfers, either one or two of Goss, Gasparatto and Lancaster will be getting the axe but not sure who, doubt Goss and Lancaster will get ANY points tomorrow but Goss is a must for Monday. Gasparatto is either out of form or holding something back. Lancaster is just pants...

Lancaster is going, I can afford to upgrade Goss for Scarponi or someone similar but it seems a waste to transfer Goss out and back in within 24 hours...

ARGHHHH! I hate this game.

Good job, young man. Can't complain about my 79, but struggling with tomorrow's picks now.

Evening all, I missed EVERYTHING today, been on an ECG since early this morning. Still in the hospital

So my team for today didn't do to well

I took in Rujano and J-Rod but i don't know if i will pick up many points. I notice another one of my constant picks last year won again and didn't have him in  39

Anyways, i've made my transfers for tomorrow and most likely wont be on. I'll try and get on with this tablet, if whoever could post a link to a text update thingy it would be awesome as i can only get on a few things on this internet  20

Stuff the game what news Gkam, let us know by pm or otherwise. Ask what your Tropinins are, they are the key.

Oh a very lucky 108 by the way for me.

By the way, people, Dave is doing a 300km Audax today (chapeau, eh?) so I am on the scores.

Double and triple checking everything but it's on its way, albeit slowly.

I went vicioso yesterday rather than tiralongo, due to having gasparotto thinking this finish may suit him, but my two transfers in today were J-rod and Pozzovivo, so cant complain too much.

Crap, was settled on Pozzovivo but changed my mind and went for Sella this morning  2

Lots of people will have gone for Tiralongo too as he was GTs tip for the day.. at least I picked up Rodriguez and Hesjedal, two out of three good transfers isn't bad, and I didn't make the mistake of picking up Rubiano.

Looks like im gonna have to rely on Guardini and Demare to do me a job in the sprint on monday as wont have any sprinters in my team  2 However with the likes of Hushovd and Farrar out maybe some of those hih on the GC will sneak into the top 20 and get some points that day.

As for tomorrow my DS side of my team is still a mess (ulissi, Nava, Vicioso not doing me anything!!) but still gonna be in my team  2
