The wrong bloody movistar rider again!
I know full well if I sub him in then the one I sub out will do well

You are in. Making you team number 19 in our league, and the first outside the NSC 'official' World Tour 18. I think that makes you Katusha in some roundabout way.
Also...
Have a look at them points, 171! I told you form chasing was a viable tactic. I would also like to apologise to Matt Goss for comparing him to a second rate ginger midfielder

Rojas was a good pick I think, this was his sort of stage. Amador may come good on the (laughably named) 'queen' stage on Saturday, it is like putting the beacon in a race and acting like it is the Alpe d'Huez.
Is that why he only cost about 3? Maybe he's missing his brother's influence...

I suppose so, I know he isn't going for the win here but you would never see Contador, Evans or Wiggins finish that far down even if they were on domestique duties.

Schleck seems to lack that natural killer instinct

Schleck is a wet rag.
I'm so glad I went for my last minute transfer and brought in Slagter!

I looked at Slagter, but decided against him, and I doing know why
14 times more points than yesterday!.
I also went for Rojas, and listened to [MENTION=12656]Pantani[/MENTION] and pulled Goss

71 points yesterday, those 30 pen. points hit me hard but were they worth it?
No, that said I have taken 10 penalty points for tonight's stage as I messed up a bit, and clicked the wrong rider then confirmed it without double checking, school boy error

I didn't, some times it is just luck this game, would have got rid of him but other riders were worse.

Lazy and obvious subs today. GT in and the crazy Lampre Dom bought in. Loads of cash left over.

Yep. I'm doing an awful lot of shutting the door after the horse has bolted!

Just watched the rerun on Sky, that was some finish from Slagter. He found himself at the front much earlier than he wanted to be then just hit the gas anyway and outpaced Gilbert, Goss and Thomas, he is gonna take some stopping in this race.

I know it wasn't a summit finish but I read a piece the other week about him being the future Purito. Big ask on both counts, but perhaps there's even a touch of AVV in there too? With a bit of luck we'll be seeing big things from him in the Classics this season.

I'm falling - thank God I signed GT. It was nice at the top while it lasted.
