[Bonaparte]

What a gift, absolutely in it now. Go Ben!

 

[Ironhawk]

Should have held on to Groves for stage 7
Although as mentioned not a straight forward flat stage.

Groves crashed around 25 k's from the finish, so probably a good choice.

Wout won the stage, again.

Yeah only 3 leaders makes it tough... Particularly when most will have Roglic and Almeida as 2 of them.

Can't see O'Connor winning based on that stage, he lost nearly a minute on a relatively easy stage compared to some at the back end of the race.

Almeida lost nearly 5 mins, so he won't be winning either.

Tough race this one.

Almeida apparently has COVID... UAE not having the best race!

Gone to Mas in Tissot.
Only 1 trade left so will have to save for a big name casualty

Yeah I did the same... Still have a couple of trades left though.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Still have 5 trades left in Tissot. Found it hard to keep on top of when I was o/s. I missed cut-off by 1 minute tonight - wanted to get Del Toro and VPP to one of Mas/Landa

 

[Dravid]

Seems Yates and UAE are back!

So much for my lrft of field pick from UAE in Del Toro.

So much for my lrft of field pick from UAE in Del Toro.

Don't worry, he can get in the break in tomorrow's stage and gain 5mins on the GC field!

VAN EETVELT Lennert OUT

Been a disaster since the rest day on Monday in Tissot.
Bad picks and no trades left now.

Yeah I've been limping along too... my guys just haven't been in the break, so I'm not scoring!

 

[Ironhawk]

There does seem to be a lot of breakaways surviving, makes it hard to score well.

Now I've wrapped up my two AFL comps, I'll hopefully get more time to update this, hoping to get a full update this weekend.

 

[Dravid]

Can't see O'Connor winning now... Still in with.a shout at the podium though.

[Ironhawk]

I wasn't really expecting a bunch sprint in this stage, or a 46 km/h average speed. Bonus points for Bonaparte with Groves getting an unexpected stage win.
