Criterium du Dauphine 2016 *SPOILERS*

[Pro Tour Punditry]

And just for interest, there are no intermediate sprint points and all the points are awarded for stage finishes.

Stages 1, 3, and 4 attract more points (25 point max) than the other stages (15 points max), and points are awarded to the first 10 riders.

I really should win more punditry competitions than I do

Pinot stated that the end of the race is his focus. So take note punditeers!

I have just noticed that he said this at the end of the prologue

Just been reading that Tinkov fired the team chef a couple of days ago, and the management team have been covering the food preparation - hopefully for Bertie's sake they can stretch themselves to more than steak and chips...

Going on that it's looking like a right ding dong between Froome and Bertie is in the offing

Thanks for the download. There is not much incentive for the sprinters or breakaways unless you're after the KoM

It's great to have Carlton commentating. Everything he says is relevant and makes sense

Natch: I don't mind him. Boulting and Millar have lost their shine recently on ITV4 and sometimes Ned's rider identity make Phil and Paul look good.

Froome all over the place then.

Oooh, argy bargy at the finish there.

 

[smutchin]

Will be interesting to see if that result stands.
