    Geraint just tweeted (6.30pm Sat night) that he's got Sunday off – track work starting on Monday.

    He said: "Still would have liked to finish it off with the boys. What ever happens tomorrow its been a Top week and top riding from the whole team!!!"

    So, just in case you have him in the team or were thinking of bringing him in…

    Well I stuffed up and missed
    Well I stuffed up and missed hitting the 2nd confirm transfer button, so my team is
    Wiggins
    Valverde
    Boonen
    Haussler
    Westra
    Spilak
    Irizar
    Simon
    Gretsch

    So unless it starts snowing in Nice in 20 minutes time, look like I will lose 30+ points to my colleagues and drop outside the top 20.

    Yeah Stumpy, as i said in the
    Yeah Stumpy, as i said in the other thread, 2 things could have happened being –

    1, All hammered into the Lampre rider who was on the deck and being shielded while he got medical attention

    2, Quickstep would have tried to avoid him and gone flying off the corner, which i think they would have done without any hazards there

    But i think they would have been in trouble anyway the angle they entered the corner, I think thats what happened to Matty Lloyd, just overcooked it

    In relation to Levi’s crash
    In relation to Levi’s crash and the comments made about the position of the motorbike – having watched it again on Eurosport did anyone see the other riders coming after him around the bend ?

    Yes he was trying to catch the peleton and as such was motoring but every other rider went past without even coming anywhere near the accident.

    It seems that the team overcooked the corner which then led to the pile up. Just my opinion if anyone else has a view on it.
