Dunbar saved my day. Ended up

Dunbar saved my day. Ended up bringing Van Aert in as a purely defensive move rather than going more aggressively with Narvaez. I got FOMO regarding Van Aert! Memories of Evenepoel scoring big on successive days last year!

Pretty easy ride in the break

Pretty easy ride in the break today Israel Premier Tech doing the pulling for everyone.

That didn’t work out for me.

Lots of people with Dunbar but I was waiting to bring him in.

That really hurts! Great play

That really hurts! Great play by you though. Plus he is favourite tomorrow…….

There were a couple of others

There were a couple of others had WVA in the top 10.

I make it 86 points he scored.

It’s funny how you can’t

It’s funny how you can’t enjoy a great ride because you haven’t got a particular rider. I hated every minute of that! To add insult to injury, the peloton rolled in so not even minor points to be had.

No WVA for me either, I am

No WVA for me either, I am hoping there are are not too many that picked him.

Van Aert is the big one….

Van Aert is the big one…. 70 odd points and likely combativity to take it up to 80. My overall lead taking a huge hit today!

I read an interview with van

I read an interview with van Aert on the Danish site Feltet. He said the 3rd week suited him better but he would still try and get in breaks this week.

Soler was a late change for O’Connor, Soler was almost certain to get in the break in one of the next 3 stages and probably out-score O’Connor as a result.

Although O’Connor could pick up extra points if the breaks are small like today.

Peloton has given up by the looks of it and you should score big points. Fortune sometimes does favour the brave. I did think of Van Aert but he said the last week suited him better….

I took a bit of a risk today

I took a bit of a risk today and praying the break makes it.

I am quietly very excited

I am quietly very excited about being top of the Spanish riders only! I’ve never really bothered spending much time picking a team and only occasionally look at how I’m doing, so was surprised to be joint top. Won’t last I fear! 

[MinardiM189]

But you are doing very well

But you are doing very well in Spanish Riders only competition

I entered, picked a team and forgot to edit it.

I hate weeks like this in the game. Just rolling the dice. I know Dick Dastardly will scupper whoever I pick!

Ready for the breakaway lottery ?

So many top riders not concerned with GC race it will make it difficult for the regular breakaway riders.
