    Stage 1 of this eagerly anticipated Vuelta is nearly upon us!

    GC could be wide open, There’s lots of decent climbers, so teams should be quite varied!

    So everyone is going to be very hush hush about their picks!

    If anyone isn’t, please feel free to share your wisdom!
    😉

    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 🙂

    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!

    So 2 from each of the top three teams, 1 from fourth, 1 from fifth and 1 from tenth. Plus I should have 1,2,7 & 8 on GC 🙂

    I think Mollema will be all that stands between me and a stage win.

    That must win…Well Done…

    For what it’s worth I put four (4) pounds on Nibali to win GC at 9/4.

    Also £2 on Txurruka to finish top ten at 66/1 😀
