You’re barely middle-aged…you’re a youth!
I flipped flopped between Roglic and Pogacar for captain and went the wrong way in the end. Still my first 1000+ point day so pretty happy. My team is built for these GC days.

So…now what are we thinking???
Poggo looked ace yesterday, as did Roglic, but, can Tadej really keep that up over the last week?
It is now Primoz’s tour to lose.
Top 7-8 all look good for a shot on the podium after yesterday.
I’d love Porte and Yates to get on that podium 
Bonus seconds to be had on Stage 16, then it’s a double HC day for Stage 17…then a HC with bonus summit seconds on Stage 18, then 19 looks like a breakaway or Sagan’s last shot at green.
Stage 20 is Poggo’s, if he’s not finished cashing cheques his body can’t pay.
Stage 16 (Tuesday) is a tricky one?
But Sagan will deffo want that intermediate.
848 points for me yesterday, but again only 9th on the stage! That’s what happens when you have Rog & Pog, but have the wrong one as Captain.
Is there anyone who’s a good climber who’s far enough back now, and could be allowed to go for a long one in a break perhaps. If I were Carapaz or Barguil, I’d certainly be putting my case forward to get in a breakaway now my Leader is cooked; maybe texting a few fellow riders on my burner phone 
I think Rolland might fancy that Polka Dot jersey too; a breakaway (or two) would net him some nice pts.

They may well let Kwiato loose for a breakaway or 2. I’d bet on him rather than Carapaz just now.

Yes, I certainly think a few riders are off the leash after yesterday.
Johan Bruyneel suggests Tuesday will be a definite breakaway win.
He was also remarkably sanguine about Pogacar actually winning. Thinks it will come down to Saturday.
Going to be interesting
Don’t knock it, the Panda has a certain cult status about it; especially in 4x4 guise.
Nothing beats the Lada Niva for ‘cult’ of course.
Has anyone abandoned today???
Any other nuggets of information anyone would like to share?
Quintana was on zwift at lunchtime in Wataopia. Hope that helps

Neilson Powless rode further than Daryl Impey for their rest day rides. Does that help?

So, I’ve swapped 2 riders today; one swap left. Anyone else having a re-shuffle?
I’m all out now, made my last switches for the Grand Colombier :-/
I’ve gotta hope that luck prevails now…
… Meanwhile Lachlan is up to his old tricks again!

Same as last week, getting announced at 0900.
Can’t see any news yet… 
Ah man, what to do. I have Rog & Pog, and now have Rolland as I sense he may target the mountains jersey, and be allowed to crack on with it.
…so do I go for ‘bankable’ points with Pog/Rog as Captain, or put my faith in Rolland being in a Break today or tomorrow?
