In-case you have missed it, Bradley Wiggins: A Year In Yellow, is on 'Pick TV' Freeview channel 011.

Edit: It's on now.
I wasn't going to watch it, as it's not like I'll learn anything new.
Naturally I started watching, and all it's done is confirm one thing:-

I'M REALLY GOING TO STRUGGLE WITH PHIL LIGGETT, THIS YEAR.

You guys need to 'control' my output over this, or by jimmey you're going to get tired pretty quick.

I'm liking this 10 instead of 20 penalty points for extra transfers. Sometimes you can cover it with Jersey points alone and set yourself up a stage ahead for where you want to be. I think this was an appeasement for us standard players considering how they stitched us up on unlimited transfer carry overs for premium players. I can see me taking the 10pt hit quite a lot this season.

Edit: Bollox, not quite enough in the kitty to do it tonight anyway.

Top of the league for the first time ever, not sure it will last long.

I may have an slight advantage in that I have watched every stage so far, being on night shifts does have its advantages sometimes.

I'm with you. Watching the recording of last night's stage his previous failings now seem massively annoying!

All this 'transfer' stuff doesn't seem to be helping people much. My tactics of 'pick and stick' so far has me the GC leader, Sprint 1 and 2 and Mountains 1 and 2. Easy.

124, 83, 65, 126.

I do feel I may have peaked too soon, and expect to be an abject failure by Paris-Nice before giving up after the first rest day of the Tour. The summit finish of Stage 5 may well be my undoing...

Banking on a big day tomorrow. Really happy with my team, for once I feel like I have most of the favourites, of course this means someone random will win it from nowhere.

I'm quite pleased with Team Stat.
The quota of antipodeans has gone right down.

158, 53, 70, 54. Too much tinkering. But I can't resist and have made another two changes for tonight. A night for Amador, I hope...
