Goring's thread YOU posted on

 

[Woodchip]

Ah, I didn't read the entire post. I saw a mention of Huddersfield, followed by someone moaning about more cyclists in Sussex and thought a map was needed.

woooosh

Look at that other thread again Woody.

I watched it last week.
I was sure I'd seen it before, but obviously not.

I really enjoyed it, JLM looked creditable as Obree which helps.
I'm left with a bit of a dilemma now.
Merckx by Fothers, was going to be my Tour accompanying book, but now I want to read TFScotman.

The Flying Scotsman is £2.74 on kindle at the moment. Not as good as having a real book, but at that price...

If you've got an android phone you can download the kindle app, so you don't need to buy the hardware.

All transferred up for tomorrow. Playing safe and leaving a couple of transfers in the bank too. Have put in a cheapish dom gamble for the break away/possible stage win though.

My team for today: Purito, Hesjedal, Basso, Henao, Pozzovivo, Cataldo, Slagter, Rabottini, Bandiera

Plus I get to watch it all today.

Good stuff, I'll be here, although I feel like shite at the moment so am going for a lay down.

NSC's finest, Henao, J-Rod, Flecha, for the win.
Rabottini, Galos, Tiralongo, Cabedo, Brandle.

I think I'm the only person to bin off Possovivo.

He won't be doing anything today any way. Tomorrow, Friday and Saturday are his days, especially Saturday. If he wants to win the Giro he is going to have to attack over the Mortirolo then smash them all again up the Stelvio. I'm so looking forward to that stage.

 

[Woodchip]

Breakaway for the win. That's me with naff all points.

 

[Stat Brother]

I've got a man, in there, Brandle.
He could be pretty quick at the finish, if he makes it that far.

Humph!!!

I wish I could say it was inspirational, but I stuck him in early as Paulwels was a none scorer and this fella can time trial. Knowing full well I'd forget all about him.

I'm surprised nobody has rolled out a picnic.

Read that on Eurosport commentary. Daft gits

I didn't think Brandle would have the goolies to get up there.
Shame as he would have had a chance at the finish line.

7th and Flecha sprinting for 11th.
Plus all the big boys hoovering up the minor place, and jersey points.
All things considered I don't think I did too badly, today.

Sounds like a decent score. I considered Izagirre last night, then went for Bandiera instead, cost me big that decision has.

I don't for the life of me know why I have stuck with Cabado.
It's always nice to have an EUS rider when the race goes uphill but this fella is nowhere to be seen.
