    Ok, I’m early but we teachers are still off in North Yorks, and this is a good distraction from planning and marking.

    Looking at draft team options for Sunday and there are currently 23 Dutch riders listed as potentially riding. Whilst a Dutch rider hasn’t won since (E) Dekker in 2001, statistically they’re the most successful nation in the race, with 17 victories. Then it’s the Belgians with 11, Italians 6 and others 3 or fewer.

    With Sagan as the exception, I’m confident in fielding 8 Dutch riders who could do well. I’m sure they won’t all remain in my team, but could this be a year for a ‘home’ victory? Mollema, Terpstra etc…

    Good answer! đŸ™‚ You could always share your account password with someone you trust and have them update it for you! đŸ™‚ I know I’ve called up a buddy – who happens to be single with no children, no girlfriend, no dog and no hobbies – while I’m on the road and asked him to login and change my team around! All it costs me is a couple of beers every once in a while… Sad, ’cause it sucks to lose out like that! đŸ™‚

    I may be wrong, but, I want to say that I think you should add Nicolas Vogondy (Accent Jobs) and Klaas Sys (Crelan-Euphony) to your break guys… I’m pretty sure they joined the guys you have in the break before the halfpoint of the race…

    Don’t know if they all finished, but on Dave’s scoring, they all get 10….I would have the finishers only, but its Dave’s game đŸ‘¿

    Chapeau. I considered a lot of riders for this race, but Kreuziger was not one of them.

    Whats on PCS now is more
    Whats on PCS now is more likely – there was definitely a Sky rider right up there so the initial ten on the TV must have been wrong. No sign of 11-20 yet though. I’m happy with 2,3,5 – anything else will be a bonus. J-Rod didn’t look good – throws a tricky decision in there for Wednesday…
