    Ye or nae?

    5 WT teams going – AG2R (Vuillermoz, Geniez); Astana (Lopez, Bilbao); Bahrain Merida (Nibali); Bora (Majka); and Sky (Bernal, Froome). 9 PCT teams going, a Team Italy, and 5 local CT teams.

    5 stages total and 5 jerseys to give out: GC, points, KOM, sprints, and youth. Stages look interesting, no huge summit finishes, but nothing flat, and nothing hugely long.

    If we run it, I’ll need to add some riders in and re-jig the CT teams. It won’t count towards the season leagues, it’ll just be for fun.

    1-2-3-4-6-7-10-20 and 1234567 in GC trust me to be different/wrong!

    All I can say in my defense is that I nearly went with Carboni.

    Today will be mainly about  Thalmann, Bilbao, Masnada and Carboni I suspect…whichever one we have.

    I think he is talking about the overall?

    Oh Aye. Very high…

    Very good race. A reduced field of main contenders has been great to watch tactically…a real opposite to the classics where literally dozens could win.

    Good stuff…

    Mistyped 😀  That would be a good trick…

    Do we all have identical teams now or what? I can see most of us might have seven of the same riders, it just depends who we have as the 8th. I have one transfer for tomorrow.

    Very true Andy. I think it was Minardi who wrote that cycling in general seems to suddenly be in a time of a changing of the guard. He may be right and Foome might be on the cusp of that maybe. Certainly some very young and exciting riders around who aren’t holding back….

    Just burned out, finished 17th. Seems Sky are letting Sivakov and Geoghegan-Hart test themselves. Unless Froome says otherwise.

    Obviously his form isn’t there, and neither should it be if he’s targeting the Tour, it’s all preparation for him. I’d be concerned if this was the Dauphine. Plus it was a scetchy descent, so why risk your main goal for the season by descending like Nibali.

    Having 2 team mates higher up the GC means he can ride his own race, rather than compete for the overall.

    Drives me a bit nuts with all that lark tbh Maviczap. Can’t argue with his Grand tour record obviously but it’s totally at the expense of everything else. I love my cycling of all types and times…not just the three weeks in July. He obviously knows what he’s doing and tbh I wrote further up he might just be there to turn his legs over…and he is.
