Giro Stage 18

I think the answer to this one is simple. Cav must win or else he may as well go home (I think he would have sewn up the jersey had it not been for Ferrari and that stupidly tight corner)

So he will go into my team for J-Rod

The problem is looking to sunday as well as tomorrow and the remaining mountain stages, think im gonna risk just having two sprinters tomorrow to aid me in the last stage

Cav and Kristoff in for J-Rod and Cataldo.
J-Rod to come straight back in, but apart from the top 3 my team is mainly high-risk for breaks, and aiming for 8-9 TTers by Sunday. My fiver each way on Hesjedal 3 weeks ago at 40-1 is looking promising tho...

Dropped Hesjedal for Cav and Tiralongo for Soupe, already got Kristoff.  16

Will Bring Hesjedal back for Friday and a time trialist and keep my sat transfers and have 4 for ITT.  26

As long as Friday's stage don't turn the GC upside down!  39

As much as i'd like Cav to win the points Jersey overall, it's really not looking good for him!  20

Replace Jose Humberto Rujano with Mark Cavendish
Replace Roman Kreuziger with Roberto Ferrari
Replace Martijn Keizer with Alexander Kristoff

Thats my three, while keeping one so got 3 transfers for Friday  4

Knowing my luck, Rujano and Kreuziger will go off in a break and not be seen till the finish line  19

I put in Cav, Sabatini and one for Friday. Every tour I get stronger towards the end. This one I've lost the plot.

Well I will have 3 stars as GC contenders for the ITT and then my others will be specialists.... 2 of them due to price, and 2 due to it being what they do, why stay till the end if they are not gonna give it a go? in the past they seem to give it a go, and to win in Milan is pretty prestigious ITT to win.

I cant afford Cav without axing J-Rod, ive now figured a plan to get 3 sprinters but just means I have to keep Txurruka for stage 19 (may go in the break) and will have one of my cheap ITT's in for that stage.

I always wonder whether the TT specialists will put full effort in, if they are not in with a chance for the GC.
The top 10 in the GC will try . . . so is it worth adding TT specialists on the last day . . . or concentrate on having the top GC people in your squad. hhhmmmm

Hmm

I kept J rod and dropped Basso and Hesjay for the Manx expresss and Gatto.

I think Henao's done, but Ive kept him in for the hopeful 5 points tomorrow, and then Ill pick two from the two Ive dropped and Uran for the Day after.
