But for Navardauskas it would have been a perfect day for me.

Fantasy wise I had Visconti & Mezgec. Considered working Pozzato in too as he's from Vicenza but couldn't justify it long term so covered him and Mezgec on e/w bets instead. Mezgec at 16's, Pozzato at 25's. Nothing back on Pozzato for 4th

Also had Cav in fantasy team so lost there, but fair play to him for giving it a bloody good go.

Still a way to go yet. If they mess with those mountains because of the weather it could throw a right spanner in the works.

Can anyone help please?

I'm looking to get a front rack for my old road bike as I'm going on a short trip to France and want to be able to load up for some day trips out on the bikes with the kids.

Anyway, a brand new one will look crap on my beat up Holdsworth, so I am looking for an old simple black version to fit my forks (pic attached). Even if it's just a borrow, I don't want to rush into getting the wrong set, but do need them - we go on Saturday! (yes left it late)...

.com sent me to a dark place!

I bet you could survive the stage, no problem.

I'm such a twit, I meant tomorrow's stage.

Good to see stat has opened another 'can of worms' thread on drivers v cyclists!

I have just enough Tesco vouchers to get that 200 without spending real money! I appear not to have marital approval though. Squeak.

That woman deserves some porridge. Surely plod could run quite a serious charge there?

I was thinking, bar the odd nincompoop, and lets not forget where the debate is being held, and Londonistas, this one seems to be ever so slightly more possitive.
Probably more to do with the stupidity of the crime than the beginnings of a culture change, but hey beggars can't be choosers.

£2 win on Uran @ 25/1 for today.

Nibs evens - No value
Cadel 11/2 - Each way money to be had.
Kangert 8/1 - hmmmmmm
Visconti 16/1 - Surely not.
Scarponi & Nav 20/1 - Nav has to be the more likely of the 2.

I think Kangert has a good chance today, providing he isn't knackered from all his Nibali protection. There is no value anywhere though in this market, so I am leaving well alone.

£5 E/W on Uran here

Haha, I caved in, Time Trials need a bet to liven them up. So 50p on Dowsett at 250-1 e/w and 25p on Mourey at 400-1 e/w. Uran looks a decent bet, really fancy Kangert myself but 8-1 is way too short.

My thoughts exactly.

Added to that, I put down £4 in total on Pozzato & mezgec yesterday and all I got back was £5 fpor Mezgec. £1 up but not really worth it, and today's odds on the one's I fancy are the same or worse, so I will be leaving well alone.

I'm wondering how well Dowsett will do today. Seems the course may not favour out and out climbers and weather conditions could favour the early starters too. Maybe he can top ten here?

As soon as I thought about it, I realised E/W was THE bet.

Sadly my cavalier all or nothing approach, may well have cost me 2 squid.

Wide roads, gradient not too steep most of the way. I think a TT rider will win it, as they have been resting up for the last few days.

I think I messed up two of my transfers here. I could have brought two in that I think will probably do better today than the two I went for and, more importantly, could have set myself up a treat for the next 3 days. It's so close at the top I might have thrown it away today.

I'm still very interested to see what's going to happen to Friday & Saturday's stages.
