well gembo the moment has arrived
to froome or not to froome
that is the question
Lot of points for top two. As you might guess I dodged them as too obvious.
not many takers for the spring grand tour then
goes without saying that the best Fantasy Giro is one that appears daily on the doormat due to a DSS computer error
but failing that, this one will do nicely
I went Froomeless and Dumoulinless. I'm probably onto a hiding...
Me too @paddyirish.
I hope to select a team but I'm waiting for a couple of "who to look out for" pieces that are out tomorrow.
@cyclingmollie, good strategy. I just avoided obvious drug cheats
@cyclingmollie, it is of course possible to change your team right up to the Jerusalem start. Does anyone do that?
That's all the encouragement my team needed to hoof it down to the local disco. Beseder!
I'm in with a a pretty random team
In. I've taken the drugs cheats - and thrown in some randoms.
I had picked Konstantin Sioutsu who crashed this morning and has withdrawn. Just got a change in in time. Froome crashed too, but says he is OK. Lopez crashed as well
i picked Lopez
so we can view each others teams now
i can't see you on the list tho, gembo
@bax, I gave a team but maybe forgot to join the league, can do it tho I sudocrem nil points
i didn't pick a team to win this tour either
it would have to have included dumoulin or froome
and i didn't have the ruthless heart for it this time
Yes I am loving Dumoulin calling Froome a drug cheat, given what he was on at the Vuelta where someone had a quiet word wth him to explain big guys could not win by such wide margins without enhancement
gembo-san you've picked two sky boys
trading on the froome stage win points coattails there
@Bax-San I love it when the other sky boys are instructed to hold back even when they are better than froomey despite only getting the EPO he hasn't used.
Though these coat tail johnnies have scored nil points
Impressive scoring from the palestinian territories team...
and nice to see three of the younger CCE generation joining in...
Good grief, Team Banana Suggestive Fruit are in second place! I don't even know who half of them are.
fantastic stage finish today
Smiler that I used to pick was fortunate on Etna
massive day at the giro
monte zoncolan
Froome had huge number of ticks in his interview afterwards. Looked like he was coming down off some kind of stimulant?
Has been a great race. Yates looked knackered. He needs to put more time into Dumoulin again in hills today. Dumoulin can take two mins from him in a time trial which is a poor way to win in my book.
another awe inspiring stage today
the giro never disappoints
My fantasy Giro would be one without Carlton Kirby’s ridiculous commentary. Simon Yates is “picking his lines all the way through and he’s writing them as well. What a script it’s his choice how dramatic this is going to be. “. I am going to scream next time he says it’s a very select group or that a rider is taking a toot(a drink). Ned Boulting and David Millar on ITV4 for the Tour are just so much better.
