    Opened relatively early cos solid startlist. But no doubt there will be changes. Something to think about all week. Remember that Tirreno runs next week also. Busy week.

    Me too, had planned to make no transfers first 3 stages. Packed team with tough sprinters. Colbrelli getting sick scuppered that but would still have been pretty close to top without yesterday’s mishap.

    The first three stages were almost made for him… and Colbrelli…I had them both.

    Trentin has been my only disappointment so far (had him in from start) but a hard fall is bound to impact on his performance.

    I was going with two transfers….Jakobsen and Groenewegen out and two of Ghirmay, Laporte or Matthew Holmes in…. I was awaiting Trentin news which could have changed things though.
    These stages should have been tailor made for Trentin but being on the deck obviously was a problem to him. 
    So I had the first four and Capiot…. I suspect I would have gone Laporte and Matthew Holmes…  Holmes may actually turn out the best pick of the three… eventually… or maybe not.

    I would have had the winner, Ewan and GC points from Ganna and Evenepoel.

    As you say, swings and roundabouts.

    But as I predicted, my T-A score would have been rubbish! Swings and roundabouts I guess.

    I was going to have a moan, but you woudd have done better than me.

    I would probably have been rubbish in T-A to balance it up! It’s a long old season so will soon be forgotten.

    OK , I’ll be first with the hard luck stories… wasn’t making any changes for P-N today & would have had 1,2,3,4,6&9 – plus Laporte would have picked up a minimum 10 for keeping yellow.! Bloody computers………

    It’s all bonkers stuff from them. One of the very top GC rides, one of the best cyclo crossers/punchers and a sprinter finishing 1/2/3 in a time trial drag finish. 
    How can anybody plan against that?… and sensational…

    Very unprofessional Stage 1 from Jumbo Visma. Don’t they know you have to finish a team time trial with 4 men? ?

    Jumbo?  Unpredictable?

    Jumbo?  Unpredictable?

    To be honest, I’m not sure if that was Roglic’s unpredictability.  They were just too damn good.
