I'm confused about the league. Somehow I automatically got entered into a Kissena league when I submitted my team. Did this happen to anyone else?
No I had to join with he code. 
So I am member of kissena with a lower case k and Kissena with an uppercase K. Which one is current?
Stay in both ,at least you might have a chance of winning one 
I will but it would be nice to win the one that the rest of you are participating in:

Either  



or


I noticed this, too, @jim_nelson. Seems to me that Velogames automatically carried over "Kissena" (cap K), our league from Spring Classics, to the Giro. Perhaps not realizing this (I didn't), @Mark Taylor created "kissena" specifically for the Giro. I'll join "kissena" since I look to be the odd one out. 
At first I was a little confused that I didn't recognize one of the riders on my team. Did I really pick Boaro? who is that?

Then I read that my 4 pt pick Siutsou broke his collarbone. That bummed me out, but then I saw the following tweet. May not make any difference given he is a 4 pt guy, but it beats having a guy out for 3 weeks with a broken collarbone. If I beat any one of you by a hair you can blame it on Siutsou.


Froome after today's stage...

********* ***** rocks!

Also, this...


Ffs, Fast & Furious  =)
What a dreamboat... oh wait, this isn’t Match.com?
Today he had a Need for more Speed. 
what a finish today
I saw another feed that showed the power of the peeps in the break. Also, this, which Dan pointed out:

Jack Haig = legend. He looked so utterly destroyed after he clawed back the gaps for Chavez. Also still dealing with this:


Uh, Mark - Carapaz?
Yep, 
GCN tipped Carapaz as a darkhorse. Because of that I had him on my roster--until I switched him out for Bilbao, whose palmares this season are more impressive. The Astana rider is doing surprisingly well in the Giro, for sure, but Carapaz's ride yesterday vindicated that the GCN crew--and maybe our own Mark Taylor--know more about the pro peloton than I do. Surprise, surprise! 
I was praying that Wellens didn't win today 
Not happy about Wellens obvs. But Haig and Yates are monsters! Chapeau. 
Yeah awesome riding by both
i was quite chuffed at 25th overall
Damn, 25th overall is sweet. Fun race to watch today.
The last 1min 6sec Yates averaged 560W.
This has been an awesome Giro. The last two stages have been far more exciting than expected. 

My team on the the other hand has been disappointing. I had expected to see more from Woods, Aru and Pantano. Woods mixed it up in the first week and may come around in final week. Pantano was active in trying to get into breaks on Tuesday and Wednesday.

My biggest disappointment is “pain face” Aru. What a dud. I was originally planning on going with Pozzovivo. What a mistake. I was gambling that being Italian he would go all in the way we’ve seen him do so in the past. Nada. 
Damn, Kangert is a non-start today for "gastro-intestinal" problems. I was hoping he was going to shine in the last week. 
All this rain , would be surprised if we don't see more DNS , only like 7 abandons so far , that seems really low , considering how hard the racing has been 
Well played Taylor.
Time to pick your Tour teams kids 
Oh, this is going to be hard (maybe not quite as hard as actually racing but still hard).
League code?
