Interesting. The exact same 3 I've got.

There are only a few different combinations you can end up with for this Tour, I wouldn't be surprised if it is extremely close throughout this competition. Subs made for tomorrow already, there is not much to be gained in the TTTs because there are only ten points for the winning team.

6,7,9 and 17, although I have changed 2 of those for the TT tomorrow.

6,9,17, I might have 12 depending on if that's a typo or not.

I'm off Tuesday, shall be joining you with the exciting Qatar based chat. Is that a camel? Ooh look, sand. Another sprint finish, who would have thought?

This road seems rather straight.

I'm off tomorrow and Tuesday, so I'll be watching a fair bit of the action, if my computer can cope.

Oh I see, it's like that is it. In that case...

"You'll be a freakin mess come July, when you're watching 'proper' cycling!"

Sound familiar?

I keep doing that

I'll only be watching if I have nothing else to do, plus tomorrow is the TTT.
Which I do enjoy but only 15kms seems a little light.

I struggled today, I need to use an English language feed.

To be fair, I don't need no crosswinds to get get me sleepy, I reckon he's just having an early Stat nap in preparation to watch the Super Bowl.

I get what pantani is saying but I thought Kristoff was quite a left field pick. Obviously not.

The lazy fecker came in plum last, too.

There's no helping some people. See above. Mind you they were a bit out of synch so I heard the winner about 2 seconds before I saw him cross the line.

Very tight apart from totallyfreaked. I had a rider crash out so that's one transfer gone!

Poor start for me in joint 10th, but then it's quite tight apart from a massive gap for the leader.

Same points as SB though for me, which can only really ever go down as a major defeat.

 

[Sussax]

Did the 3 people with no-points, pick a team?

My daughter didn't, despite knowing the deadline well in advance. As I said...teenagers

I have absolutely no idea how that happened. This is about luck, right?

I did see that but, too late to make the change so I just stuck it out.
Yours is the link I'll be looking for tomorrow, if I'm about.
