My best stage in the Vuelta by some margin finishing 18th....although to be fair it's the first time I've been on the first page for a atage score 20

Now we go to 3 mountain stages in a row and the first chance to really improve the team rather than the constant Degenkolb/Bouhanni 'Hokey-Cokey'......and time for Froome and Sky to unleash the big diesel I hope.

Tommytwodarts, well im not gonna be close behind you for long then....as I have J-Rod, De Gendt, Froome but no contador (ive got swift). I went for an expensive DS in cataldo which was a bad choice! and palomares hasnt been in enough breaks to warrant his price.

What's your purist team called?

I'm hoping to have big jumps up the table soon as I had Froome, J-Rod and Contador, Plus De Gendt and Clement for breaks.

My failing was not having Bouhanni and star sprinter. Thats left me some distance behind the rest with big gaps to close. Alot ahead don't have the 3 big stars though 3

Took De Gendt out for Viviani last night. Looked like it might all be OK until Viviani disappeared from the break. Does anyone know what happened?

Bad day for both my teams, wasn't expecting much from my purist team but the guy behind me in 2nd has Clarke so he could well jump ahead of me again once the scores are up

Not bad. Swapping Degenkolb for Valverde just about paid off, and not brining in Bennati also worked out. Now, three transfers to play with for tomorrow... 39

J-Rod holds the points jersey. At least De Gendt got my purist team some points even though my transfer team is goosed 20

Think I'll be leaving Bouhanni in for a couple of days, need to shift Degenkolb and Bennati first then possibly Viviani and Bouhanni in a couple of days depending on how I want to play the summit finishes.

FDJ just tweeted that Bouhanni has abandoned, still suffering effects of yesterday's chute.

I'd best find another sprinter.

I thought there was a chance of the break staying away today so didn't want to bring in 2 sprinters only to take them straight back out. So if its a sprint (looks fairly likely at the mo?) I'll only have Degenkolb and Bouhanni, but then at least I'll transfer them out and have a good set of potential breakaway guys for tomorrow. (Miles behind overall so may as well have some fun).

So currently...
Rodriguez
Valverde
Degenkolb (in for Froome)
De Gendt (just won the intermediate!)
Machado
Bouet (in for Talansky)
Astarloza
Bouhanni
Sarmiento

Gerdemann was my pick for breakaway points tomorrow, so might have to reassess that one now...

I'm happy that De Gendt is doing something as he's in my purist team and others with some sprinters have got a massive lead on me.

But I think i'm safe enough with my team and having some transfers in hand for the rest of the tour 4

Alberto Contador

Gianni Meersman

Leaves me 4 transfers for the lummpy stages.... 39
