Fingers crossed for an uninterrupted Giro.

I was wondering if being down

I was wondering if being down to 3 in my purist team (Ganna, Demare & Masnada left – lost Thomas, Yates, Matthews, Ciccone & Gaviria) would be some kind of record, but you have outdone me Gkam!

Oh that’s rough, don’t think

Oh that’s rough, don’t think I’ve ever seen worse luck in a purist team ever.

Evens it out though, 3 Covid

Evens it out though, 3 Covid and 3 crashes. Now what will Ganna and Fuglsang do to themselves in the last week? Does everyone want a heads up for Vuleta of who to avoid…

I’ve gone for something different as I CBA with racing at the moment, it shouldn’t be happening. I’ve got my purist squad and my standard the same, so both will run “as is” until someone isn’t there and I can replace them in my standard. See how I get on.

[Dr Winston]

Ouch. I once was down to two.

Ouch. I once was down to two…but at least that was only on the final day of a small tour. 

[Gkam84]

It could only be Gaviria,

It could only be Gaviria, here is why…I’ve only got 2 riders left in my purist…

[Dr Winston]

Well that was a mess. Avoided

Well that was a mess. Avoided Ulissi after the news of a positive test for UAE. Turns out it’s Gaviria AGAIN.

Looks like UAE are still continuing.

I’m really not sure. It looks

I’m really not sure. It looks like ASO/UCI are just going to plough on as usual and the Spanish government seem to be allowing them so far. Teams and officials are mainly on the ground in and around Irun now ready for the race to begin on Tuesday, whether it or Giro gets to finish their full compliment of stages is still to be seen. 

I’m not sure Madrid Challenge will happen, womens teams pulled out of Flanders because of the lack of protocols being followed, both by the race and other teams. There was no way to call it secure.

[Condor Andy]

Yeah just seen that on

Yeah just seen that on Twitter. Race jury apparently manually set the time limit to 16 minutes so Molano can start. Guess that means he got last place.

[Dr Winston]

Any news on the Vuelta?…

Any news on the Vuelta?….what’s the views from where you are now?…obviously starting but will it finish?

[Gkam84]

Don’t know what obscure rule

Don’t know what obscure rule they have pulled out, but Molano is still being classified in the official results from Giro…Might need to update the game

[Gkam84]

Ganna 42:40, today’s stage

Ganna 42:40, today’s stage winner.

Now over to see what the GC guys can do, but that isn’t getting beaten

[Gkam84]

Correction, they’ve said it

Correction, they’ve said it will be 30% for the cut today. Still means Molano isn’t making it, but his hand was in quite a mess. Don’t know how he managed, but he hit the inside wall on a corner.

[Gkam84]

Molano will not make the time

Molano will not make the time cut after his crash and delay for treatment. It should be 25% today, with a 43min, that’ll be around 10/11 minutes. So 54/55min limit. He’s come in over 58

[Dr Winston]

Ciccone not starting.

Ciccone not starting.

How quickly things change, I

How quickly things change, I’d forgotten about Evenepoel! You are quite right though, it was meant to be his first Grand Tour test.
