I was just about to post something similar, but you've hit the nail on the head there. Tories - all about fake culture wars and never about facts.

At least one of my local Aldis has a nice stainless bike rack, but it can't be seen from inside the shop.

Annnnnnnd the twitter account is gone. I am guessing there were some awkward conversations in the Froome household this morning....

An end of season used pro bike for £1500 is affordable, just choose the rider carefully.

You do get that there will be no material differences between the 2 right? Apart from 150g (1/3 of a poo or a 1/3 of a water bottle full) or so or...

That must win...Well Done...
It seems the good Dr wasn't far off, but the leader scored 174, with Dr only scoring 158
Ok, I have never personally seen this, but with 174, eoghan39 has scored the most that you could of possibly scored today. Nice work
That is some score for a TTT...
Scored 105, which I feel reasonably happy with. In retrospect though, given that the next few stages are a bit of a crapshoot and today was much more predictable, I perhaps should've gone all out for the points today.
Oh well. Hoping I've made some lucky picks!
Bother - missed the news about Bos... was counting on him for a few points for my purist team... oh well...
Purist:
Sammy Sanchez
Valverde
Basso
Henao
Moreno
Betanur
Txurruka
Van Rensburg
Bos (zero points)
99 today for my standard team.
Yeah, Mollema cost me in the end plus I had Horner instead of Cancellara but both Mollema and Horner may do something over the next couple of days so fingers crossed it works out better for me
My purists...
Valverdi
Nibali
Martin
Henao
Stybar
Majka
Txuurruka
Sarmiento
Arroyo
