Need to apologise to the sponsors
Lofty position of third from bottom.
At this rate, Iāll take top spot by the Vuelta.
There could be some shake-ups in the leagues this week. Italy has been basking in glorious sunshine until now, but as the proper climbing starts bad weather is forecast.
Carapaz is normally solid in poor conditions, I donāt have him
Hindley is showing great form, I donāt have him
The Shark loves a wet descent, I donāt have him
Almeida shits a brick going downhill, Iāve got him
Yeah Iām slipping down the league and canāt see the personnel on my team to reverse that unfortunately.
Looks like a tough day as well. 200+ kms and the day after a rest day. Weāll see whoās legs are still on the massage table
Carapaz isnāt the best going downhill, could be interesting
Almeida is out with covid now
Ive somehow managed to get up to 5th and two people above me have Almeida.
I also had Yates whoās said āarriverderciā
Iāll have Cavendish for at least today
Bollocks I had Yates also
Errrr
I have Cort
Nope. No I donāt
Now 4th from bottom. Be scared.
Seriously unimpressed with my team
Yeah Iāve a few duds in mine too. Thought Cort was going to finally come good yesterday, but he was wet on that final sprint.
Big day today!
Hindley has to try EVERYTHING today
Although, the final stage is a 17.1km ITT.
Can either of them time trial?
You can EASILY lose 3s in a TT from a lapse of concentration
JH not beaten RC in a TT before, they were saying the other day. But that was only out of like 3 and they reckon JH had got better in that time. So it could be a really close fought battle if they canāt be separated today.
RC ābeatā JH by 6 seconds in the opening TT. This one will be interesting with the hilly profile.
Hindleyās got to go for it today
Hindley lost the 2020 race in the final day TT. Surely heāll not want to risk that happening again and will want some daylight to Carapaz
