“Mark Hirschi will be bitterly disappointed with that”

You think?
YOU THINK?

He’s disappointed?
What about my fantasy team :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Who is “3W/kg Pussies” and why did they have Pogacar as their captain today?
With KWiatowski and Hirschi in their team, too!

Well, I did better than @wheezy today. 129 woot.

Edit Flo took some time to do the math, over 600 Pts but still 17th

Hirschi got the red number, so that’s a nice little 60pt bonus for me.

I think the jersey is as good as mine now :wink:

What’s left in the sprinters jersey. Does Bennet need to race tomorrow?

Me.

Because I threw those 2 in at the last minute and didn’t change my captain & I’m in 12th or something (and clearly don’t take these things anywhere nearly as seriously as you do). How do you have time to run through everyone’s teams?! :rofl:

EDIT - that wasn’t supposed to sound as arsey as it does. I thought it was a GC stage (didn’t loom properly) so threw Kwiato in and H was the best I could get with Kung withdrawing

I just checked yours out, as you did well today :+1:t3:
I finish working around 1630, then spend half an hour pissing about before my wife finishes at 1700.

I couldn’t be arsed to go for a run today, so had a quick look at others teams.

Far easier on a laptop

Hmm. WvA or Trentin for tomorrow :thinking:

I got a tad lucky. I ditched Alaphillipe after stage 15 and bought a high placed GC rider looking solid in the mountains, which was Angel Lopez; Uran was actually cheaper and in 3rd at the time, but clearly I made the right decision!

Has to be WvA and hope he’s not knackered from the previous days efforts.
It looks too much for Sagan at this point.
But again, Trentin could end up making another stab for a win.

Yeah i went for WVA. but we’ll see.

I think Bennet wants to clean uo today

Clean up what?
His dirty kit? :wink:

Far too undulating for him today, plus, he’ll be keeping his eye on Paris without burning too many matches

Nah - if it goes into a sprint I’ve got my money on WvA to be there. The bigger sprinters, Ewan, Bennett, will be off the back.

I’m also really interested to see what WvA can do in the TT. He’s pretty handy and with it being an uphill finish, the pure TTers might lose a bit of time to those can go uphill. Then again that does make it quite suited to to the GC guys. Pog and Rog should go well.

Pog will be confident for a final hoorah of this year’s tour, surely, .He beat Rog recently at the Slovs didn’t he. He’ll get nowhere near slashing the deficit, but i think he’ll nip Rog by a couple of secs.

Are there any other closet TTers that are hiding in the peloton? Obvs it doesn’t suit the new versions of Tony Martin etc (whoever they may be), but there are normallly a couple of lesser known (to me at least) names that slip into the top 5.

I dunno; it’s the end of a 3-week Tour, I’m not 100% convinced Pog has the gas in the tank to take the win. Like you, I do wonder if there’s a ‘sleeper’ who’s been keeping their powder dry for tomorrow’s TT; it happens quite a lot. Although being uphill it will make that harder to do.

I said this about two weeks ago, MATE :wink:
Judging by yesterday’s little sprint for the KoM points, I’d say Pog definitely has something left, plus, I think he will be really keen to get the KoM points on offer and maybe take the jersey back.
