Sagan trying to ride into the green jersey, he just doesn’t look like he’s got the same fitness as previous years.

So two days of making last minute changes to my RC on the Fantasy game ended in disaster, today I almost did the same but decided to stick and I ended up with just about the worse captain i could have picked from me team, all but two others scored more.

But he doesn’t cry like a little baby when he wins

Into week 2 and the GC still looks really close 1.42 covering the top 10. Yes, I know the big mountains are yet to come but anyone in there has the opportunity to win it at this point. Even Roglic might have a bad day.

Pogacar has his eyes on the TT, you mark my words - I said it a few days ago before those lot started mumbling on about it :wink:
The stage before the Grand Colombier and that stage look absolutely savage, whoever gets the yellow after that stage, will be in yellow the next day…

15/16/17 all look like monsters. Completely backloaded routes. I agree that pogacar looks rampant but how will he fare in the 3rd week where it really counts. Martin will crack and plummet at some point. Yates will drop out of GC contention and try to win one of those mega stages. Who knows where Bardet will end up but he’s flying way higher than normal.

Me, I’ve already moved away from him once :wink:

Stage 13 looks like it could be tough. A strong ride from JV or Ineos could see any struggling GC guys shelled out the back. Alternatively a breakaway with a team mate or two up the road could help someone gain time. It has the potential to be a tough stage.

Stage 13 after the 218km Stage 12?
Total snooze fest.
Both of them…

…in a normal year!!!
Lord only know what’ll happen this year.

WvA, de Gendt, Alaphillipe all look good for those.
Maybe even Hirschi will have another go?
Tomorrow looks like one (not) for Ewan :wink::rofl:

I have had some terrible captain choices but luckily got it right today :smiley:
Still a long way behind you!

Oh yeah it could but it’s a long stage itself and anyone feeling good has the opportunity to turn the screw on any GC contenders suffering.

How is it I had pogacar as road captain double points and get 78. @Memphisraines didnt have him as captain and gets 70?

You got more in one race today than i get in three!

You only get double points on what the rider gets in the stage and not from the points in the various jersey comps.

If he rode for Sky/Inneos they would have pinned those lug holes back. They must be draggy AF

they’re keeping him at 3mins, he’s into a head/cross wind, too.
So the peloton isn’t trying too much.
