QUOTE (broadview @ Sep 7 2015, 04:21 PM)  Awesome performance, and I am sure you will just climb higher. At a week into the race we were neck and neck, but now my rank is in the 6000's. I was never looking at Rodriguez or Aru seriously as you had. But I did look seriously at Landa and Dumoulin, wish I would have kept them. Looking forward to the rest day tomorrow.  I can't help myself, but...Chaves is the difference between me and the top 20 or 30.  Losing Froome so early also cost me a lot. I'm enjoying the ride. I don't tend to have much fantasy success.

Dumoulin with the stage win, but I don't think it's enough to shake off Aru for the win in Madrid. Still some climbing to be done, and Dumoulin will surely get attacked.

Still some climbing to be done, and Dumoulin will surely get attacked. He's been countering those attacks remarkably well so far, but I too predict that he won't cope when they go all out to win it. Hell of a ride to be in it with a chance though

Hell of a ride to be in it with a chance though Amazing performance. I only picked him cos I thought he'd do well in the ITT. Comparisons with Indurain have been mentioned. That's quite the compliment. |

Points for broadview. Well done, sir.
 Doom looked comfortable today.

Looks like Doom is doomed. I'll miss the end of the stage, but the writing is on the wall.

308th. I'll take it.
 Interestingly, despite all our moaning, only 1 of the top 10 teams had Chaves.

Fantasy Cycling starts early in 2016! I entered a team for Fantasy Tour Down Under. A mix of familiar faces and some new ones. Not sure how I will be able to catch any TV coverage, will need to rely on news reports.
Simon Gerrans - Orica Greenedge Tiago Machado - Team Katusha Nathan Haas - Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka JJ Rojas - Movistar Team Ryder Hesjedal - Trek-Segafredo Wouter Wippert - Cannondale Pro Cycling Team Oscar Gatto - Tinkoff Michael Albasini - Orica Greenedge Peter Kennaugh - Team Sky -------------------- Nope, nothing to see down here. Move along.

No Caleb Ewan?
 No Richie Porte?

In my mind the critical decision was Gerrans vs Porte. Can't afford both without going into the cheap end of the cyclist for most of the rest of the roster. Hopefully I made the right choice, otherwise it will be a long week. -------------------- Nope, nothing to see down here. Move along.

Did you do any research?
