    well gembo the moment has arrived

    to froome or not to froome

    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...

    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?

    I had picked Konstantin Sioutsu who crashed this morning and has withdrawn.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 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.

    massive day at the giro

    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.

    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.
