I find it odd that no one in the top 8 has Valverde. squarepedalers( Dana )does.

Overall i am sort of happy with being 20th/ Kessiakoff is a dud so far and Quintana has to help Valverde.

Nice pick by @Armchair Cyclist: On Clarke- Someone who is known but not very well known.

6th at the moment... Kessiakoff finally delivering, but without Piti or Degenkolb there is not much chance to progress unless he starts properly riding.

I have the feeling his climbing is not where it should be, but he is looking strong and breakaways are a possibility.

Additionally on the bright side, Swift cant get any worse than he is now and Bouhanni seems to be on the verge of a win.
