They still haven't updated the scores for the time trial yet.

Just made the one trade. Holger to De Gendt. Took De Gendt coz he will score points tonight and may stay in the KOM jersey so can keep him in for a few days. The other rider that has been anonymous this race is Tony Gallopin. So 7 trades left. Enough for me to bring in 2 breakaway riders...

Dumoulin is another one worth taking but I wonder how much he's going to work now that he has his 2 stage wins and is focusing on the time trial at Rio.

Breakaway riders people need to look at are the ones going for the KOM Jesrey/Stage wins. So you have De Gendt/Costa/Majka in that category for KOM. You have Pauwels. Then Rolland will focus on breaks now that his GC is over. Then you have other guys like Sepulveda, Zakarin, Nibali, Durasek...

Good job Doddy. Ranked 132 or something. What I'm going to do is use 2 or 3 trades today on Majka/De Gendt/Costa combo. Then use the Amnesty to load up on riders for Monday's stage and then after Monday's stage use the amnesty to load up on the time trial. Then the last 5 or 6 trades I'l use...

Still ranked 120 odd. I thought the trades reset today. Looks like I was wrong so the only scores I get today are Froome, Sagan, Laporte and Enger and the only scores I get on Sunday are from Froome, Sagan, Porte, and maybe Dumoulin/Roy depending on breakaway. So if the Amnesty does indeed...

This is why the Giro and Vuelta are better races because they are better run. They just bring in the army.

Went with the big 3. Course really doesn't suit Dennis with all the head wind. He struggled in the wind in Australia last year and fell off his bike in the nationals time trial. If it wasn't windy, I'd be on him, but I'm sticking with the classics guys. Cancellara, Martin and Dumoulin as they...

I had Froome and Porte too but I still managed to move up from 150 odd to 119 and now am just over 400 behind.

Pinot won't top 20 the time trial, but I could be wrong. Glad the break took this stage though. A lot of people used it as their bonus. And with what happened to Froome and Porte, a lot would have had them in their team.

Again, might help. http://cyclesportnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7640:tour-de-france-stage-12-preview&catid=18&Itemid=101 http://cyclingquotes.com/news/2016_tour_de_france_stage_12_preview/

Didn't drop down too many places. Stayed around the same. So it's good, it means that no one really had many of those riders that filled the top 10.

Can anyone make any trades or is it blocked off for you too?

So instead of having a team of 3 sprinters, 5 climbers and 7 time trialists, i thought it was best to do 5-5-5. Even spread over those days to keep consistent scores. So Cavendish/Coquard/Sagan/Ernst Holger/Laporte for the sprints On Thursday, Cavendish and Coquard turn into Porte and Van...

I have no idea of the right setup now. At the moment I have Quintana, Froome, Porte for Thursday. Sagan, Cavendish, LaPorte, Enger, Theuns for Tuesday and Wednesday. Roy as a cheap option. Friday I just turn Quintana, Sagan/Cavendish, Theuns/Enger into Cancellara, Dumoulin, Martin, Dennis...

I'm going nuts today trying to find the right balance for Thursday and Friday now that I traded in a lot of climbers yesterday

Yeah, that's the way to do it Doddy. I'm just concerned they realise the fuck up and decide to take it out of our trades tomorrow or something.

I just tested it out. Just in case I made the trades to who I was going to make them to at the end of the week anyway. Done 2 trades and still have 4.

You're right, the Amensty period says 3:00am Sunday to 7pm Monday, but I don't think that's right as it's not the rest day. I'm pretty sure its 3:00am Monday to 7pm Monday. It says I have 4 trades instead of unlimited - so I'm not game enough to make a trade yet. I'll wait until tomorrow...
