Here’s an interesting conundrum… if Bernal continues to be unable to step up to the plate, will Ineos start to support Yates, so that they have reigning TdF winner in their squad next year, and all the additional PR that creates?
Intrigued to know on what basis you say this? So far, there’s not been any real major mountain day during which Bernal thrived last year. And today, he and the rest of Ineos were the key driving force behind the annihilation of the peloton and the gapping of some of the key GC players?
yes, sorry, poor choice of words. I should probably have said if Bernal proves unable to step up to the plate.
Trentin was my Captain today, and I have WvA
WTF is happening
Was a toss up as to have ALAPHILIPPE or POGACAR as my captain. I chose ALAPHILIPPE ffs!
His final bluff was proper jokes. Destroyed the lead group just for fun, as he knew he was about to blow.
Pogacar looks properly strong. Shame he lost the time yesterday. I honestly couldn’t see anyone sticking with him today had he still been on the same time as the rest
SAME!!!
Yeah, that move was great fun!
Why the heck just blow normally when you can rip them to shreds and leave them pick up the pieces.
Glad I didn’t have Pinot
Yeah when he attacked I thought I was on for some good points.
Such a pity Alaphilippe is off the pace now. He is very entertaining and a great bike rider.
On the flip side, I do wish everyone would stop banging on about Pinot every year. He is top level mediocre. He finished on the podium once. In 3rd. In 2014…
Yeah alright. I thought I’d put Pinot in and be a bit of an outsider. He can cock off!
I am doing bloody terribly!
However, Alaphillipe being out of contention means he will have more freedom if it was just a bad day.
I’ve dropped Demoulin for the turd he has become, in favour of Pogacar.
We now all have pogacar!
I have had Bardet from the start, and he looked alright at least
What’s everyone’s credit situation like?
Asking for a friend!
Horrid!
I thought I was going to just wait until week 3 expecting at least a few of the main guys to be COVID +ve. Surprising that no one had caught it.

I still have 300.
400 here. Strange that the apocalyptic predictions haven’t borne fruit. You’d expect a few players to have been ejected by now?
