    Not easy to drop the yellow jersey Greg from my team..
  2. @grootlem
    Couldn't sleep and its not because of the price of bitcoin. Losing Porte will cost me yellow by the second rest day. Hope a few guys (sky) eat bad meat today
  3. @grootlem
    Bernal came in 16 minutes behind
  4. @grootlem
    And now Groenewegen with a frame or fork failure

    When I saw the Quickstep TdF team I thought they would change the way the tour has been raced since Lance and now Sky. They will also cause havoc in the mountains with long range attacks, just going for stages every day. Going for a 2,5 hour ride now then TV time

    I don't care too much about the Gaviria relegation as most teams have him, but I'm one of few that has Greipel and his DQ hurts like hell. 40 points gone. I'm very curious to see who turns up on the climbs next week. If its Sky I'm toast. Hoping for a Thomas puncture today

    I thought, hoped BMC would take the TTT and he is the fastest finisher for day 1 and 2 in their team to then get yellow. Took 5 sprinters for obvious reasons, will drop 3 of them plus GvA on the rest day, if nothing goes wrong on Sunday. Greg will not have the jersey on Tuesday night. If Thomas goes into yellow i will be in trouble. My dark horse is Valverde

    Looking good so far, but as its against my policy to pick a Sky rider i will probably go down the rankings from Tuesday. Hoping on Alaphilippe and Valverde today

    Michael Matthews

    If BMC wins this Team TT I will have a brand new indoor training thing advertised next month. Only reason I have Porte in for week 1 is yellow for a few days from today. Against policy to have a Sky rider in my team, thats why I lose every year

    I am just as proud of Meintjes racing in the top 10 whom CSA send on R5000pm to stay Belgium as a 19 year old (when he had offers from local teams to race locally for more money) as I am of Jay T that hardly wins a race but the commentators talk about him as one of the strongest domestiques out there. Or Jaco or Jacques or Ash amongst others which CSA supported to try and make the dream a reality.
  12. @grootlem
    a very small % of riders become WT pro's. And of them a small % are or are allowed to be winners. Maybe Willie becomes a super domestique for Zakarin in the GT's or work for Kittell in Classics. That is also great. And maybe once a year he is allowed to get into a break and get a good result. Im ok with that, HE IS GOING TO LIVE HIS DREAM.

    Siberia here we come
  14. @grootlem
    Imagine he signs for a Russian team and he has to do training camps in Siberia
  15. @grootlem
    And the most difficult stage to predict is the last one when some wants to just finish and others want to end offf on a high
  16. @grootlem
    Lekker
  17. @grootlem
    My picks for the day Scott, CBC Meerendal and Brentjens need to work on their sprinting.. the 25 points lost in tight sprints can make that I can go on a beach holiday in December
  18. @grootlem
    And Stenerhag is on another level than before. She was really focused and peaking at the right time. But its only stage 2, expect a fightback from Ascendis
  19. @grootlem
    Well done to the 13 of which 1 was lucky. I hope its not going to be a random draw if more than one person finish equal after Sunday? Or what does the fine print say?
  20. @grootlem
    Im picking up mistakes on points allocated. Checking cause its going to be tight For instance team Rainbow Jerseys got 20 points for team RMB Change a life in prologue when Diepsloot won the exxaro competition Hope there's not more mistakes
  21. @grootlem
    Well done, dit was close
  22. @grootlem
    points updated. now to keep an eye on GC and start training
  23. @grootlem
    my ladies team of Stenerhag/Suss moving up
  24. @grootlem
    I cant get onto the site to see results but there could be a mistake in the points. What was top 3 for African jersey and Exxaro?
  25. @grootlem
    some catch up to do
