Yes, got a good feeling about Rubiano today. Reckon he'l be in with a chance of getting the win.

Yea just went premium and you dont, as its my first comp only missed out on Sprinter and Stage Podium, hopefully shouldnt be too hard to do again.
although nearly had a Full House on stage 7.

No penalties for me - Pirazzi and Santambrogio in for Phinney and Bole. In terms of backyards, I have Visconti and 2 Vini's. Would've liked Rabottini so put a couple of quid each way on him instead. (After a great start, my Giro betting "scam" is back down to break-even after Wiggins' bike change etc yesterday - dammit).

I cracked... decided to make another two changes (just couldn't resist). Question is, who do I drop? Wiggins or Evans?

If the weather forecasts I've been looking at are correct, it's a no-brainer - Wiggins. Thunderstorms.

Through luck rather than judgement I only want/need to make one change. Tempted to bring Santambrogio back in though but would need to take out either Wiggins or Evans to afford him so not sure its worth it just yet.
