Porte and Quintana did diddly squat! I'm starting to get annoyed with these "loaded" teams the big boys send out.

In hindsight it seems obvious Moreno was going to be given his shot today.

Looks like I picked the right Colombians but the wrong Spaniard (I did briefly consider Moreno, before going the full J-Rod). Oh well, a half-decent performance and certainly taking some attention away from the utter car crash that is my Trentino team.

At work so didn't see any of this but from secretly following on Twitter sounded like a cracking finish. Looking forward to seeing it when I get in.

Chuffed with today - 7 scorers in standard and 6 in purist - way better than I expected. And the guys I chose Denifl ahead of all finished behind him, so at least my silly risk didn't cost me any points!

How happy am I that I selected Primin Lang, now hanging on at the front as the peloton bears down. That should be 10 points in the bag!

I've given up on my Purist for the classics, but standard is as follows:

Ulissi
Gilbert
Weening
Purito
Albasini
Henao
Anton
Quintana
Betancur

Still three Colombians, my first draft had five. Ummed and ahhed particularly over Valverde/Hesjedal/Uran over Rodruiguez, Kwiatkowksi over Albasini, and Nordhaug over Ulissi. Just to pre-empt my inevitable failures...

Also considered Chalapud from Team Colombia who seems to be in decent form - but stuck with Weening on the grounds that a grizzled old Dutchman will probably do better than a fresh-faced South American.

I nearly went with Chalapud too - the main reason I didn't is that they're not riding Liege, so I wanted my cheap pick to be someone that I didn't need to waste a transfer on for Sunday...
You're right - lots of Columbians riding well at the moment - can't wait to see them attack in the Giro!

Same, took out Sagan and avoided J-Rod (he is in my purist team though)

My team looks like this, 6 big hitters and 3 that cost 3 credits but have form or could go in the break.

Gilbert
Valverde
Henao
Mollema
Martin
Kwiatkowski
Weening
Betancur
Pichon

I've taken the gamble of leaving out sagan and purito, meaning I get a whole squad of possible top 10's. fingers crossed:

gilbert
valverde
henao
quintana
J. vanendert
betancur
igor anton
dan martin
cunego
