Well to quote Hugo from yesterday,

He can, but Matthews will win anyway.:cool:

Was very surprised to see only two had Matthews for the stage win, very happy about that! Now to see if he can double up, that would make me very happy indeed...

Was pretty worried how many stages i was going to waste with Sagan in my picks, then upon inspection i wasted... none! Didnt really plan it that way as i deliberating about him for many many stages. Shocked i didnt pick him at least once.
Same for Pinot. Originally had him sneaking him in the top 20 with Contador, but looks like i pushed him out for Barguil and Niemec. Good on me it seems! Didn't even know about his ambitions, just figured the tour would have to take it out of him for a young fella.

Anyway im off to a flyer! Mainly as i picked very much with my heart for Orica, firstly thought they would maybe top 6 for the TTT, then figured Matthews would be pumped for the Vuelta after missing the tour.

Anyway, im shocked at my standing at this point and felt like i had to say something as it wont last long i think!

Go Greenedge! Yeehaha

Well, Sagan is riding, and yesterday was a tailor made finish for him. Matthews was probably 2nd choice for many :)

Yep, cant argue with any of that.

Probably my bias for a fellow countryman blinded me a little i suppose...

Ugh... Sigh of relief. Really feared to look at the guys who lost today.
Actually my guy Tschopp was off since yesterday anyway (so no big deal anymore), and today "only" VDB joined the group of "training riders". Other players are hit worse. So I am ok with it.

And Sagan... well... he is on my shit list since this Vuelta. I know he was on many others before, but I still liked the guy... not anymore. He just stole a roster spot from a guy who would have give it all to be in the Vuelta. :mad:

Otherwise: No stats today. Too drunk. :D Would only lead to errors in the stats... back to party. :)

Made a mistake for tomorrow. :( For some stupid reason I have Moreno for tomorrows stage win. With a profile like tomorrows I know I'd never pick Moreno for the win, so I guess I accidentally put him there. Congrats to all who picked a strong punchy sprinter.
 
Well I'm keeping my TDF form intact and still tipping riders one day out from their win. Oh well at least I get half a point for Bling yesterday

Have him again today so hopefully he comes through

Aye, don't worry. He'll most likely come through. He'll at least get you half a point.

Based on his perfomance yesterday, he shouldn't have any problems fighting for the win today.

Even with Degenkolb winning, a day to forget for me....

Talansky and Hesjedal already way far from the top-20, already have 3 victims counting with Pinot. :eek:

Looking at my division I think I'll be happy if Rodriguez misses top 3
Valverde winning and Rodriguez off the podium would do nicely

and a lot of people would be disappointed!

Had a quick look at my division as after Losbrolin posted about his awesome pick Gilbert for todays stage i had a horrible thought i had him too (got him for tomorrow)... Anyway pretty much all in our division had Rodriguez so i had a look at all divisions and i think at least 75% had him today.

Much like the TT with everyone (> 90%) picking T Martin... i on the other hand chose Fabian 'lets have a whinge' Cancellara... Why? no idea...

Probably the same reason i chose Betancur to sneak in the top 20.

On another note what has happened to our GGTG fearless leader? Was pretty much hoping for some general updates and stats... Like has anyone scored on each stage so far :cool:????
