Punditry-enhancing devices?

Yeah. I'm clearly not on them though and I've never tested positive.

I have even got a new pad of paper and pen, with a page per player.

This is epic.

Will one pen be enough?

Will one pen be enough?

On past efforts I reckon the pen will last beyond this decade...

On past efforts I reckon the pen will last beyond this decade...

But you've tripled the picks per stage, the pen is in serious danger of drying up before a point has been scored.

I still think the pen will be fine....

Your eternal optimism is a source of great comfort to me.

Is Quintana still eligible for the white jersey?

Fekk knows. Poxy jersey. Is there even a list of eligible riders?
Have I whinged about this before?
Yes

 

[smutchin]

Is Quintana still eligible for the white jersey?

Article 25, paragraph d: "Le classement des jeunes est réservé aux coureurs nés depuis le 1er janvier 1990."
http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2015/docs/TDF15_Reglement-BD.pdf

Quintana was born on 4 February 1990, so qualifies by a month.
