What a day - went out to Cragg Vale to watch, just a phenomenal experience. Hard to put into words, so I won't. Suffice to say I, and a million or so others, had a fantastic time.
Fantasy-wise, I should've gone with my gut (GVA & Nibs) rather than the odds (Gerro & Kwia), but hardly a disaster. Very interested in seeing how Kwia goes now, surely getting him in the white jersey must be OPQS's plan B now Cav is out.
Taken two pens for tomorrow, which wasn't in my original plan. Sometimes you just have to take a hit, I suppose.
I dropped like a stone today. 5 transfers wasted including putting Modolo back in after he withdrew. D'oh!
Kwiato, Sagan, GVA closed that gap down to just 2 seconds so quickly at the end when they actually turned it on that I'm thinking they could have easily brought Nibali back when he first attacked if they'd just gotten their act together earlier. They dropped the ball on this one.
Yep
Bit if a purists day today I reckon?
Why oh why do I always pick Valverde at the wrong time??
Same
although the 10 penalty points for Vanmarcke was more annoying, knew I should have gone with GVA, although my call on Albasini was decent enough.
Can't help feeling the road.cc standings are going to be very odd tonight with some noobs near the top
Aagh, just put Modolo back in and seen he has pulled out
Argh... How shitty... that sucks... I hope Dave puts the 'Reset Button' up some day... It's a little crazy to have to wait to see if stuff like that happens before you select your next day's team... It adds to the excitement, but, argh, I feel fpr you... Where'd you hear?...
I made my change, then saw the post about him being removed about half an hour later. From now on I am going to wait a few hours before changing my team.
Damn!
What an absolutely cracking stage, never mind your flat run in to london, this is what the tour is all about.
A massive well done to Yorkshire on producing 2 brilliant stages, roll on France.

Have to say Valverde was disappointing.
I knew forgetting to grab Sagan would bite me in the bum today, Oh well this could possibly be my worst result ever in Standard and took a 10pts pen for the pleasure LOL.
Pretty happy with Purist tho which is my main concern atm, with a 4,8,10,13 and 4 of the 5 spots for youth Jersey.
Brilliant stuff, what a great last 30km. I brought in Kwiat and Sagan (3rd/4th) although really should've started with Sagan yesterday, that was silly. Had a couple of quid on GVA each way tho, so that makes up for Colombia's failure on Friday!
Got that very wrong, a no show from Vanmarcke was not worth the penalty, negative points from that
Nice reply Nibali, the Forgotten Man.
Kadri the most agressive
Blel Kadri has been awarded the Antargaz most agressive rider price of the day.
What a race. This is awesome.
What a race. This is awesome.
How good Sagan on the downhill, he just rolled away from Nibali !
Don't think I'm going to score many points today, this stage is tough!
Break of 7 up the road - Perrig Quemeneur, Armindo Fonseca, Cyril Lemoine, Matthew Busche, David De La Cruz, Blel Kadri, Bart De Clercq...
Welcome back Enrique . I am feeling your pain now
Welcome back Enrique. I am now feeling your pain
*sigh* I can relate... I would listen to dr, though... Irritating as I may find him, he's usually right...
You must have woken up late fella
Nah, I was just amazed no one had posted the breakaway group...
It's live from the rollout in the UK so not likely to be posted by any of us in the UK to be fair
You lucky dogs you! I have to admit the crowds are incredible and the countryside is beautiful. All Britain must be proud.
Yep I think we are , as for looking beautiful.... let's just say it's good it's been dry the last couple of weeks lol
