[Dave Davenport]

He does have teeth, but he takes them out for racing.

Marginal gains, they're all at it these days.

Works for me, even with Adblock fully on. It's heavily Javascript though (everything inside the body tags); might that be an issue?

Just seen Flecha's recce of the final climb - and descent... Crikey! Never mind the gravel on the ascent, those last few hairpins at the bottom of the descent look a bit 'technical'!

You'd think it would be strung out by then, so hopefully, a bit easier to navigate.

That was a proper stage - Brambilla wins it now why didn't I pundit pick him?

 

[mjr]

Now Brambilla has as many GT stage wins as ejections?

Why are Flecha and House wearing such gaudy trousers every day? Did they lose a bet?

Elia Viviani one of three riders DQ'd for being outside the time limit today. Whoops.

The other two being Iuri Filosi (Ita) Nippo - Vini Fantini and Boy Van Poppel (Ned) Trek-Segafredo according to cyclingnews. That trio came in at +55m26 when the limit was probably around +25m30 if the regulations are the same as the last copy I saw... so not even close! Did something bad happen?

https://mobile.twitter.com/AlbertoVigonesi/status/731513545117040640 says they were dropped in the fast-and-furious first 30km and never got back.

Arghhh! I bottled it on my bet last night and changed from Brambilla to Moser. Nobbing nobber!

House is a Posho, Flecha is a Continental. Flamboyant hosiery is to be expected.

You didn't bet on this as well. Nobber.
