    The amnesty only opens on the rest day. But wait until it says you have unlimited trades or whatever before you trade. My advice is to do what I did above and start thinking about what to bring in. After the rest day until the next trade period you have; A stage 50/50 for the...

    As I'm high up there, I may as well start thinking about a plan for the next week. Plan over the coming week. Amnesty Edet for a sprinter - Shane Archbold or Jeremy Roy. Rolland for a sprinter - Edward Theuns If I go for the sprinter, that leaves me with 2.5 million. If I go with Roy (he...

    Good stage for me. Curious to see if I move into the top 100. I was 120. The only downside was Rolland crashing and not coming top 20 when he was on going to. Froome - 1st Rodriguez - 3rd Kreuziger - 5th Meintjes - 13th Might have to consider trading Rolland out but he might scrape into top...

    With the trade amnesty coming up I'm trying to work out what the best balance is. I can make 5 trades, and thus keep Sagan/Cavendish/Froome/Rolland in and then just take a few out on the trade amnesty day for the rest of the week, with 3 trades remaining in the bank, or I can make less trades...

    Transfer Amnesty is on the rest day, so on Monday. That's the only day you can make the trades. So you'll need to do half/half. half sprinters, half climbers

    Today is a good chance for the break. Valverde says people might ride conservatively. So I'm tempted to bring in 2 riders in the hope they join the break or bring in GC guys and hope they make top 20.

    I have 2 left which is good. Then obviously will use 4 tomorrow leaving me 4 for next week. Then use free trades on the amnesty if that's what it means.

    Tour de France

    I've moved up instead of down and I don't have Van Avermaet which is surprising. 110 now, 1316 points. What is grating on me is the fact I would be #1 if I used stage 1 as my bonus stage. Thus I'd be a good chance at a weekly prize.

    Those that brought in Van Avermaet will be laughing. Nice points for him getting top 3 on the stage and the yellow jersey

    So Stuyven won't be in the jersey after this stage so I can trade him out for Friday for someone decent and then get someone decent with a sprinter. Perfect.

    So looking at Martin's comments, Ettix probably want the day off and send someone in the break or just relax ahead of tomorrow's sprint stage for Kittel.

    Tour de France

    Probably not worth trading anyone in. Dan Martin reckons a good chance for a break. Sky and Movistar said they won't chase that much. Valverde wants to conserve energy to help Quintana later in the race (that's what he said before the race). So no one really to bring in.

    The overall scores aren't updated. We're 2nd but it hasn't updated for a while. So fuck knows. We are on more than 1000 odd Rupert. Do you have a bonus stage to go?

    Alaphillipe has been top 20 in all sprint stages so if you bring him in you can be confident he scores points tomorrow anyway. But, there is a chance the break might make it tonight. Ettix may chase for Alaphillipe to get him in yellow but Tinkoff won't chase. Movistar and Sky have said they...

    There's also a slight possibility of the break taking the stage tomorrow and Friday too.

    Kristoff's lead out man faded 100m too early. I'm glad that Greipel didn't figure. He's not in my team. I sacrificed him to get Stuyven and to get Stuyven i had to change Greipel to Kristoff. So that move paid off and it will pay off more if Stuyven stays in the KOM jersey tomorrow...

    1085, ranked 183 with a bonus to stage to come. I think everyone above me has used their bonus stage. If I used mine on stage 1 I would be in the lead. I have 2 trades left so I'm going to lose some points on Wednesday's stage, but shouldn't be too bad. Providing Stuyven holds the KOM jersey...
