Re:

I really could do with Aru slipping to 4th, that should just secure me safety providing there are no more major GC changes. If that fails a Contador win on Saturday would go down a treat!

No, he will win tomorrow ...Aru will win on saturday ,..oh well probably not

Re:

If Aru drops he needs to drop hard. Dropping only one place will likely put me back under the cut line as almost everyone in my division has him 4th

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Agree... Aru shall not drop to 4th. He is my lone "spot guy". After I looked at my upcoming stage picks (which pretty much suck the same as most of the previous ones), I´ll root hard for ongoing strange AST tactics. Now they are dearly needed.

I have it the other way around, Aru today on Contador Saturday. It's going to be very close!

Aru isn't going to do a damn thing for the rest of the Giro. No top 3 stage finishes and isn't moving a single position on GC
He is perfect right where he is

Unfortunately Astana is pulling hard,that means legs-death for Aru

 

[l.Harm]

Aru... unexpected surprise

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

OK? Surprise, surprise Mr Aru... So I´ll win but lose.

Gain a stage point with Aru, lose my spot point with Aru...

Re:

2nd and 3rd in my division lost a point because Hesjedal moved up to 9th (I have him there but he will probably not stay there so it doesn't matter) so the division win should be in the bag now

Scratch that everything wide open again thanks to ugly face.

 

[jaylew]

Ugh, disaster. I hate Aru this Giro. He obviously hates me.

 

[ILovecycling]

Lol *** you Fabio

 

[ILovecycling]

everything going to ....

This is how proper 3rd week decline looks, leader for 2 weeks and then bs

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

LOLZ guys, but I am happy with Aru, he loves me ... Better to gain a guaranteed stage point than having a un-safe spot point. And even more sweeter: My direct competition (G2F) for the division win did not have Aru.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Aru must keep his 2nd gc spot or else I am out of this competition

So much about that...

Still not enough... 1/2 missing.

[Jspear]

Back where I belong in the standings.
Now I need AC to win the stage tomorrow and Aru to have a major melt down...he needs to be in 4th place on gc. Never say never in cycling.

 

[Jspear]

Re:

He might not do very well if he hears you removed your avatar.

 

[ILovecycling]

Well after today the DC is not a goal for me, gave up duhh...I'll focus to not to fell near the line of death after 19 stages securely away from that lol

btw I have the worst T20 of all rounds imo, maybe the worst of my division

Not only that, but you are tied for worst overall. The stage picks really saved you, Jorik, and Pours (so far).

Stat-Attack III:

T-20 distribution;

2 players have 13 T-20s (Foxxy , Mutschi)
6 with 12
6 with 11
15 with 10
4 with 9
3 with 8 (ILovecycling, Jorik, Pours)

God, thats beyond terrible! , stages foreva!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

In case you´ll be drawn to my division again, you certainly have to improve on your T20s skills if you wanna fight with me for the division title beyond week two at the TdF.

How can those change tomorrow? How many players have riders still with a shot at the top 20?
