Tom D gonna take some shifting with that lead...

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Holy shit Cannondale won a WT race.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Tom Dumoulin. Awesome. Awesome.

 

[TimeyWimey]

To be honest, I love Dumoulin.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

BRAVE

 

[TimeyWimey]

Dumoulin just trolling them all now. Enough time to win the Giro and take a shit.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Is Landa just a bit thick or what...

 

[lordofthepies]

Fuck off, Dumoulin, you rotten bastard.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

 

[TimeyWimey]

Hatch saying it's due to another "natural break" for Dumoulin.

Booo Movistar, booo Bahrain, booo FDJ, booo Katusha etc

 

[lordofthepies]

Serves him right for being mean about Nairo

 

[Veggie Legs]

This is very finely poised, isn't it? Are any of the contenders apart from Dumoulin good at time trialling?

 

[Veggie Legs]

Kruijswijk is out, doesn't he know he's costing me valuable fantasy points?

 

[TimeyWimey]

Is this going to be the only/most exciting time trial in history?

 

[Veggie Legs]

It looks perfectly poised

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Giro has set a fairly high bar for this stuff tbf:

(the speed of that bike swap remains about #7 on the list of most impressive feats I have witnessed during a cycle race)

 

[Super_horns]

First Dutch rider to win a Grand Tour?

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

No - Zoetemelk and Jansen. First one for a fair old while and first at the Giro tho.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Welp. That was a pretty fucking entertaining race.

 

[lordofthepies]

Can you do us a fantasy update now that we're a grand tour down please?

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

are you trying to make me cry?

 

[TimeyWimey]

My team has been bang average so far. Highly disappointing and not helpful my brother is in the top 30. Been let down by Magnus Cort big time and Peter Sagan didn't quite boss the classics like he should have done. Also woz robbed of a few points when Movistar attacked Yates in the motorbike crash of the Giro.

Entire TdF rests on Sagan, back to Yates for the Vuelta. My Grand Tour options are actually piss poor.

Can you do us a fantasy update now that we're a grand tour down please?

[TimeyWimey]

Hammer series is kinda fun. I think.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Yep, quite liked it. Definitely a better experiment than that barmy GC method they tried out at Poland or wherever it was the other year. Betancur to win TdF now IMO.

That would be pretty good for my fantasy team...
