    Kelderman’s first race back

    Kelderman’s first race back from injury, probably not pushing it too hard in an effort to be in his best shape for the Tour, especially if Tommy D doesn’t show up.

    I guess we’ll see if Bernal is that good Steve. His results in the past two years seem to suggest he is, and what’s his competition here? Mas is probably the obvious one, but who else will challenge him?

    The big change day obvious

    The big change day obvious suspects coming in and everyone seems to believe Bernal is a shoein. Is he really that good?

    Does anybody know why

    Does anybody know why Kelderman bombed in the opening TT?…141st smells more like mechanical to me or is he on a steady race to just turn his legs over?

    Looks like stg 9 route has had to be revised as Sustenpass is not yet open.

    So a 105 km alternative route has been set up, but it’s still brutal.

    Aye…maybe more brutal.

    I managed to drop him, thinking he wouldn’t get over the last climb. Duh

    I thought today was tomorrow and took him out too.

    Brought him back in today. Seemed to be worth it as it was GVA that I dropped.

    I feel like i’m making a lot

    I feel like i’m making a lot of bad decisions lately but then I take note that i’ve gone back up from 5th OR to 2nd OR. ..showing that everybody else is making equally “bad decisions”….I think cycling must be going through a less predictable phase maybe. On the plus side…my brother has finally beaten me in a standard game after 18 months of trying (Dauphine)…i’m pleased he’s in the game now instead of trying to pick Tony Rominger…

    Maybe the effect of smaller team sizes is filtering through. It feels like teams seem more interested in having quality riders in the break so they don’t have to work and Sky, Bora and Quickstep aren’t chasing down all the moves anymore and being selective about when to use their firepower.

    Similar to you I’ve been ill and down the league like a brides nightie of late. I’d be interested if more breaks have really stuck, or if course designers have been more successful in keeping all options open or it’s just a perception from poor picking of teams recently?
