I meant to do this last night but I was drunk so I forgot. Annoying because OGE for stage one was an easy one to call. But I'm allowing myself a late entry anyway because it's only the TTT.

OGE love a TTT, smash them *almost* every time in a GC

Stage 2 - Kittel

Today's prediction (other than my previous one for Bouhanni to win the stage) is that my feet will have more blisters on them! Ouch.

As an aside, I note that my LR pick is in la maglia rosa

 

[smutchin]

Giro today is officially a wet stage. As was stage 2 of the Women's Tour. Points bonus for 5th placed riders apply.

(I realise I may have overlooked previous wet stages in other races lately. If anyone thinks they're owed points, let me know!)

Stage 2 - kittel

 

[themosquitoking]

Stage 3 Kittel.

 

[Crackle]

3 viviani

 

[smutchin]

Stage 3: Kittel
Stage 4: Swift
Stage 5: Kelderman

 

[smutchin]

no worries if too late...

No, fine by me unless anyone complains. Bold prediction for GC there! You must be disappointed about poor Dan Martin?

3: Kittel
