    Is open until, Saturday on the Velogames site, there is a CCE League and a City Cycling Edinburgh League. Looks like if you have been in the leagues before your teams will be entered automatically. But you will need a code if you are a newbie.

    Juan Pelota, Retired Circus Bear and Jambo Visma in so far.

    I can't seem to crowbar Carthy, Bernal, Roglic, Landa and Bardet into my Jambo team. Some serious trade offs required here.

    Yes interesting, you have to pick one or the other really. Rollicking should win if he can stay on his bike

    I think you'll be fine. I think Jakobsen will ride the whole 3 weeks. Not so sure about Phillipsen, who is young and already has 3 weeks of the Tour in his legs.

    Big story for me was the non appearance of Demare. Have heard a theory that he has lost his nerve around the pointy end.

    @paddy Irish , Is Arnuad Demare not still in the race? He has given you 30 points which is 30 more than my sprinter will get given my cynical hedge betting (I forgot to change as I was out cycling )

    I had Jefferson Cepeda in the Giro he went right round, maybe even until the last day and scored nil points.

    @gembo, I was expecting Demare to be on the podium for the sprint.

    Can't even remember if I picked him or not... I wasn't sure if he was going to figure. He has the class, but something isn't right.

    Doing a league with colleagues. 9/10 of us picked Rog.

    He is high risk due to crashing but we all picked him?

    Kuss was off the pace today and Carapaz

    I just wish that Tom (Pidcock) was doing less of this and more at the pointy end of the race as he is giving a very poor return on the ten points he cost me. :-(

    It's a flag of convenience. We're paying the riders in sand :-)

    Does the Polisario Popular Front have a road racing team? I think we should be told.

    Villanueva de la Serena - one of the ugliest Spanish towns I've ever seen. Remind me never to visit.

    Interesting result though, things getting a bit fluid in that stage, but GC pretty much unchanged for now.

    Lot of riders will be pulling out to concentrate on the Worlds rather than concentrating on the enormous hills coming up this week starting today. David Millar would be getting off and pushing and saying We are not animals.

    Jay Vine, taken out by taking a bottle from his own tweak car.

    Nice to see Roman winning.
