Probably still on hangover effects.

Ha, must of been one hell of a party!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

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

I hope you use your psychic powers for good, not evil.

[Afrank]

For a split second while watching today's race and seeing the familiar red of a Katusha jersey surging forward I cried out in joy...then I cursed Valverde's name a few seconds later...

 

[Tigerion]

I hope you use your psychic powers for good, not evil.

Of course I'll use them for good. It will be good if I win this game right?



So it looks like there was only 2 people who went with Valverde so well done Olivera as well
Another 5 or so with a half point from Froome so I'm calling that a very successful stage for me

 

[ILovecycling]

ohh 17/20 riders in my TOP 20 right now, still ****ed Purito didnt make podium yesterday and Bouhanni was blocked the day before

Today vamos Bala

of course congrats to those who have Gilbert or Bling for today,great picks.

 

[Tigerion]

Well today is the true test of psychic power, I've gone with Tschopp

 

[ILovecycling]

Well today is the true test of psychic power, I've gone with Tschopp

lol if he tops3 today,im gonna quit this game

 

[Tigerion]

lol if he tops3 today,im gonna quit this game

He has a break, the only problem is they have Ryder with them so don't think they will get any leeway

 

[Hugo87]

You are really a freaking psychic

 

[ILovecycling]

**** I quit this

u.n.b.e.l.i.e.v.a.b.l.e

 

[Jspear]

**** I quit this

u.n.b.e.l.i.e.v.a.b.l.e

He might not get a top 3 placing.

 

[Hugo87]

**** I quit this

u.n.b.e.l.i.e.v.a.b.l.e

You are safe...

Tschopp 4th!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Well today is the true test of psychic power, I've gone with Tschopp

Oh bad... Tschopp couldn´t/wouldn´t go for 3rd. That´s hefty. A good pick goes for 0 points...

Barguil crashed. Not good for us who have him in T-20.

... so no one scored with the stage today.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Unlucky Tigerion. You didn't stick enough pins in your Hesjedal voodoo doll.

 

[Tigerion]

NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........................

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Fingers crossed that Bouhannis win stays...

 

[Jspear]

Fingers crossed that Bouhannis win stays...

I 2nd that! Wasn't even able to watch the stage live so I haven't seen it yet, but from what you all are saying I still hope it sticks.

 

[kingjr]

Why, oh why did Degenkolb have to crash yesterday...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

You missed a rather good stage with some splits. I guess some minor changes in the standings today. Hope for the better for all of us 33 who picked Bouhanni.

Why, oh why did Degenkolb have to crash yesterday...

... or he may lost too much power when closing the gap. I think I saw him pulling up front a few times.

Edit: OMG... lots of losers in CG today. Not only in the "53-second" group but even farther behind. I guess a good mix up in the provisionals today...
