Yeah, finally a GT. 

Looking forward to this. Lots of unknowns with form and injuries for those riding and many fallen by the wayside before a wheel is turned. 

Buchmann and Schachmann both named officially as starting despite their injuries…nice….or is that Nice.

Missing the deadline isn’t

Missing the deadline isn’t always the disaster it seems, especially as it seems to be alternating sprint and climbing stages in the first week. My son missed a deadline and is still ahead of me with a few extra transfers squirrelled away. My downfall has been a stubborn refusal to believe that Sonny Colbrelli really isn’t going to sprint this year!

Just realised I made a comedy error too.  Somehow last nights transfer didn’t go through.

I was pleased with Bol and Bennett, now found out that I had not brought them in.  Still, I have saved two transfers for later.

Brill. Tomorrow is a tough call…might be as well saving again. Do you think the break tomorrow?

Yeah…time to drop him for one of the sprinters the day after maybe. What it does is make him a more flexible in/out pick. I fancy TJV to push for Yellow tomorrow and the the breaks become more realistic propositions once TJV are in the box seat. They’ll be quite happy for the bonus seconds on the line to be won by Pierre Rolland and Hugh Carthy after that.

20 second penalty for Alaphillipe….crikey…

You did alright, he came 5th

You did alright, he came 5th on the stage and takes 2nd in the youth jersey.

In other news, with France still considering a full lockdown because of rising cases, with Alaphilippe in yellow now, will that speed up their decision….I’ve spoken to friends who are staff members on a couple of teams, none of them expects it to get past the first rest day.

I should have bought a watch.

I should have bought a watch. But Higuita shouls score a few pts soon

Ah we’ve all been there. I

Ah we’ve all been there. I have no power to do anything about that unfortunately. Possibly just chalk it up and hope Higuita works out for you today.

[JAndrewHill]

Aaagggghhh. Can you help? I

Aaagggghhh. Can you help? I just made a transfer before todays stage (it hasnt started yet) and realised too late it was too late. Any chance that I can undo the transfer… I dont think Higuita will do as well on stage 3 and Id like Sam Bennett back.
