Giro del Trentino - stages 1a and 1b
Is anyone else having a real headache picking teams for this race? I can't decide what to do for the first day (is stage 1a a sprinty or climby stage!?) and there seems to be a lack of pickable mid price climbers. There are the expensive (30+) GC guys and the cheap 10 credit and under riders but in between are a lot of riders I think are overpriced or unlikely to do anything.

Is it cynical to wonder if he would've got the same punishment if he had just hit a cyclist and not hit another car immediately afterwards?

I'm not doubting that the bike is aero overall, but an entire article on a computer mount seems a bit over the top!

The @roadcc Twitter feed is telling us we have 2 hours for stage 1b transfers, am I right that there are no transfers this for this?
Correct you have no free transfers, but if you did want to make transfers you could but they would cost you penalty points
Scores uploading now.
Well disappointing on the whole
Just Bouet for my standard and only Garzelli for my purist, but 2 AG2R riders in that team too.
Its gonna make changes for tomorrow interesting, as they have 6.50 on the main contenders. I will keep Bouet as I don't think he will loose 7 minutes, so will still score some points. As for any of the others thats stayed away
Maybe Rodriguez as he is cheap and looked strong on the climb
Hmmmm Zero, Do I get a badge for that?
Good job I had Bouet in my Purist, however lost two riders already in both teams, not a great start.....
full results are up http://images.vitesseonline.it/Trentino/1stHalfStage/Ordine%20d%27Arrivo...
top 10
1° Bouet (Ag2r La Mondiale)
2° Cerny (CCC Polsat)
3° Rodriguez (Team Colombia)
4° Dal Santo (Flaminia Fondriest)
5° Moyano (Caja Rural)
6° Kochetkov (Rusvelo)
7° Van Rensburg (MTN)

10° Duque (Team Colombia
Result
1° Bouet
2° Cerny
3° Rodriguez
Get in Bouet!!!!!
My standard team looks a bit of a bust today as I had 4 fast guys(from decent teams)looking for a bunch sprint who I'd then transfer out after the TTT and settle in on the climbers/GC guys.
Viviani,Blythe,Gatto,Ferrari plus Dombrowski,Garzelli,Santaromita,Niemiec and Nibali.
My Purists are Wiggins,Nibali,Dombrowski,Niemiec,Pardilla,Agnoli,Garzelli,Battaglin,Vigano
Looks like M.Rodriguez will lead the KOM competition.

GPM Iselsberg (Km 114)
1° Rodriguez (97, Colombia)
2° Bouet (5, Ag2R) 17"
3° Van Rensburg (143, MTN) 45"
looks like a bit of a free for all now, come on Bouet catch Rodriguez!
Wish I'd listened to my own advice now. 25km to go and an advantage of 8:50
May as well put my teams down too

Extremely fleeting thought about cheating. Dismissed immediately.

1° KOCHETKOV (165, Rusvelo)
2° CERNY (126, CCC Polsat)

Should have taken my break guy out....
stage deadlines are amended to the proper start time and i've mailed premium users with the changes.
8:15am tomorrow...
Take him out, take him out!
If I remember at lunch time I'll sort the stage times out. Plus, I think I may be doing the scoring tonight (if I remember correctly) so will double check the other stages.
How do you do the stage times? I don't seem to be able to
Nah will leave him in, don't wanna cheat per say, as he should score in the TTT considering the opposition.
I can't actually remember what days I said now
Im hoping the results are in by 4.15 so I will be ok for the scores thursday/friday. I can do today/tomorrow at 8.30, but if you want to you can do them before. I can do stage 1a if the results are in before 12.30
So glad I didn't listen to you now!
Well I have 1 in the break, although I had him in for the finish
And, for anyone wanting to follow before the TV coverage, official live ticker is at :-
http://www.girodeltrentino.com/EN/3/7/Live-stage.htm
What T.V. coverage???
For some reason the TV coverage is on delayed transmission today, probably means just highlights on eurosport later, live coverage of the other days stages so I believe
I wasn't complaining - just seemed amusing to me. I agree that today's shouldn't be changed but tomorrow's should be fixed. I know what you mean about the break for today though - nothing much to be gained.
If Dave's changed them, it doesn't show on the dashboard or stages pages.
I meant Dave put them back to what they are now, as when the clocks changed it messed them up as they went out to 5/6am and some people would have said they were too early, so when they have been moved back, they seem to be out by an hour.
Oh, OK, I get what you meant now.
Bouet, Rodriguez, Moyano, Cerny, Xu, Van Rensburg, Kochekov e Dal Santo have 1:50 after 10km
Stage 1a is underway so you've got just over an hour to figure out who's in the break and get them into your team. Bit of a cockup with the deadlines there I feel.
I think Dave changed them, but seems he hasn't been on since you pointed it out, I would have changed them but as the comp is open I don't have the function now.
