Giro stage 17

I have 5 of the top 10 GC and 4 decent climbers who have been trying regularly over the past few days to get into breaks. So theoretically a chance of a really good day, but obviously if I have no-one in the break then I'll just be middling along with everyone else. Team is only 300th or something, so may as well go for a stage win!

Ah, he's on my radar too but I was thinking of bringing him in later in the week, he seems to be going well.

Henao is neither here nor there because EVERY team will have him now, I have him because he's cheap points, he could do something, he might not, either way he stays because he let's me spend my credits elsewhere.

I made 1 transfer, dropped slagter for a swiss guy

I'd like to drop Rodriguez for Kreuziger but I can't as Rodriguez is far too in form. Have 4 transfers, will use 2, probably dropping Golas and Slagter for either a couple of Italians or a Spaniard and an Italian. Not saying anything else until deadline

It'll be a big KoM day so if you get the right rider you're in for a hatfull of points.

I wouldn't worry too much about the descent, the winner has to get to the top with the front group before they can win on the descent so a good climber is a must. I wouldn't be surprised if both Rujano and Gadret had a pop but I won't be going for either, not just yet.

Tricky init. Ive gone for an out of form climber whoo rested himsekf today and fiknished with the sprinters. He has previous kom so might be saving himself for a big day tomorrow. There again he will prob finish next to last.

I'm not planning on doing any transfers and am keeping the same for tomorrow. I'm loaded with the GC contenders, as I'm sure many others are also.
