    Going to start setting this one up. Just wanted a judgement call on profiles. What do people prefer, official profiles or PCS profiles?

    Big drop from 19th > 34th in

    Big drop from 19th > 34th in Paris Nice….pffftt….still 6th overall for now though. 

    Somehow, in some races, I don’t actually seem to be in control…this has been one. Other times I know exactly what I’m going to do two days in advance…Very odd.

    Got to be one of the Quick step boys now their main sprinter is out of action. I fancy Ala will have a go for a stage from range on every day that is left….sadly I had to take out Asgreen to balance my team with another sprinter on such an uncertain stage…but he may also have a pop. Dithered on TDG or Hivert but in the end resisted…TDG said he thought this may be the last day when I researched his interviews….and Hivert could just as easily put a team mate in to hoover up pts.

    Looks like we’re getting one more day at least.  Have gone for a sprint finish today, but wouldn’t be surprised if TdG or another baroudeur fancied a long raid.  Politt would be a candidate if he wasn’t so close on GC.  Jungels?  Calmejane?

    Official site has both

    Official site has both Grossschartner and Alaphilippe in 17th, so I’m giving them both 4 points. They must have recoreded the exact same time.

    Higuita did well today…he’s

    Higuita did well today…he’s gonna be a big feature in the TDF if we get to it…

    So, guess who dropped Sagan to put in Ackermann? :doh:

    I had high hopes with 5km to go….Bennett, Ewan, Ackermann, Bol, Nizzolo, Stuyven, Schachmann was looking like a golden ticket.

     

    Doh, I’m sure you did right had it not been for the mechanical.

    Stuyven quoted as saying that 90% of the peloton think that this race won’t get to Nice. Looks bleak all round for cycling this year. It’s hard to reconcile managing the spread of a virus with a sport that moves from place to place daily even if you remove spectators from the equation. 
    Still trying to play the game as if it goes till the end but, as UAE tour showed, it is tempting to use those transfers early!! Who’s for  8 TT specialists tomorrow and to hell with the consequences?!

    I’d assume the riders will have heard whispers and/or rumours…could be a good gamble with the TT picks.

    Watching the news…Gonna

    Watching the news…Gonna have to say the Giro isn’t looking at all likely now. Pffft.

    As for this race..I think Higuita is looking fantastic. I have a few friends who like a flutter and wanted a good outside e/w bet for the TDF. Higuita was my pick for them at 300/1 a few weeks ago…he’s now around 100/1-150/1. No ITT at this years tour, apart from the uphill one on stage 20, plays out well for him. He might just split the big favourites the way he’s going.

    Bigger winds today than

    Bigger winds today than yesterday.  I’ve got too many sprinters for it but I blew three transfers to get back in the game after a first day disaster…anything could happen.

    It is a minor point, but it appears that today Pierre Barbier was moved from finishing last on Stage 1 to OTL. Does this change the 10-point bonus for last place finisher to Ackermann instead?
