Gilbert went down in a 20 man
Gilbert went down in a 20 man pile up that included Phinney who had to abandon straight away. Gilbert got back on to the Chava group and finished 22nd but later went to hospital to have his knee stitched.

I’m saying nothing, but Tom Dumoulin was also in that crash and then went on to ride like a beast – not only to get back on but to then help form the 2nd group on the road and work his proverbials off, totally unaided by anyone else in the group, to put time into Chavanel and nearly catch the remains of the breakaway on the line! Immense ride today from Tom Dumoulin in what was a great stage to watch.

Same here, already dropped Phinney and Spilak because they was DNF. Not sure if it’s worth it 😕 but last stage nothing to lose so i’m going for the pen! :B

Up to 5th in the Forum. Could have been 3rd if I’d had Westra like I thought I did.

This game is bizarre sometimes, I thought id had a nightmare day with my purist team, yet it moves up to 7th….

Had I made my planned transfer of Bakelants rather than plumping for Gilbert after the amount of teams that had him the other day, id have won the stage :”(

Nightmare for my purist team!
Nightmare for my purist team! gutted

Not bad for my standard as I had Dumoulin, Stybar, Impey, Kelderman, Weening and Chavanel.

My big mistake was Gilbert over Bakelants 🙁

Phinney and Boom out tomorrow as Gilbert could do something.

Scores will be up when I have full results

Cannot believe I had Demare in my team and transferred out Westra for Langeveld!! Just don’t concentrate on these smaller races. Good day’s racing though. Plenty of action and good landscape too.

One of those days where I could’ve *sworn* I had Dumoulin in my squad but apparently did not. Baby brain.

On the plus side, I had Stybar (who looked so good at Paris-Roubaix, remember) and Westra, so should have had an OK day with 2,7,12,17 plus random extra points from GC etc.

TBH not following this one (or the last couple of races) that closely…
