Yes.
Screwed my team for the day, maybe longer, but sod that!
This could be an epic stage.
Will they not be totally FUBARd tomorrow?
Pyrenees and on your knees

Is Sagan in the main Bora group at the front. Or did he get popped into the green/polka dot jumper group?
Nope. At the front mopping up points.
That was the whole point of the move, to stick him back in GREEN
16-17 minutes will be the cut off at this pace.
And Trentin had lead it out for a long time, Sagan must have really lost his motor.
Just found him.
I always think he look really uncomfortable on his bike in the Tour (s). In the classics he seems much more dynamic.
Where’s de Gent off to with 100km to go?
He’s going to win from the front as I dropped him from my team a day or so ago!
Who said this was going to be boring?!?!?
I’m loving today, best stage so far. You can never predict a day like this.
brutal in those front three groups!
The gap to the second group is going to grow to something fairly substantial I would say.
The gap to the green jersey (and where is Ewan now?!) is also shooting up. The time cut Boardman predicted really could come into play
EDIT - it’s stabilised a bit to the green jersey group, so probably ok
Carapaz is stuffed
Yep. If they can at least hold off the white jersey, he’s at least still ahead of a good chunk of GC contenders.
Gotta fancy WvA given the stage has been tough, and he’s already beaten some of the genuine sprinters. Jumbo Visma have not done a huge amount towards the front of this echelon from what I’ve seen, so he shouldn’t have been totally burned
Wheel change - tough luck
FFS - it could be WVA’s day again if he can beat Sagan in the sprint
Yeah super glad I got rid of wva as well! I’m the kiss of death right now.
WVA takes it.
Brilliant. 47.5kmh average
Shit day for me
I’ve still got him in my team but Ewan is captain… It looks like a drag race to the sprint, only Bora knew differently.
That’s also me.
Trentin is the annoying one. Clearly has ambitions on the green jersey based on what he did at the intermediate sprint having not got dropped by the Bora early effort, and then falls asleep in the cross winds. He was my original outside chance pick of scoring highly
I had the majority of my team in the front group, and still only bagged 101 points!!! FFS
There’s some kind of quiz on Sunday and you can bag extra points to make changes. Might do it for a laugh, but can’t see that I’ll use the points I’ve got anyway. Going to stick with my team a bit longer then might change once real mountains start. Or not. Too much like homework!!
