I'd be happy if G had a good performance a whole lot less so if Mr Peaks 365 has a good one. Unfortunately for you I am not talking about Gee... but you never know, he might go long like he did at the Dauphine and hold them off. To be honest, there are so many options on day 1. But it is hard to look past MvdP as the favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVDP will be all out to collect as many stage wins as possible in week 1 (or for the first 10 days) as it seems he has already pre abandoned after that... probably go out out to wear all the jerseys he possibly can ????

Easy strat for Alpecin Fenix: Give MvdP the "all clear" to go for stage 1 and 2. But then they seem very willing for him to lead out Tim Merlier in the sprints. I can see Alpecin Fenix having a very realistic chance of wins on the first 6 Stages. DQS will obviously have something to say about that with Allaphillipe and Cavendish respectively. Can't WAIT!

TNT1 Posted June 24, 2021 Share I don't get all the Valverde hate. That Italian that finished second in the Giro also served a doping ban, and y'all lick his behind. Edited June 24, 2021 by TNT1 babse, Akon, Jewbacca and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow jersey has a few challenges - Riders he can swerve in front of (relegation) - Getting nosh and drinks in the wrong place (relegation) - Motos he can ride into (potential DNF) - MVDP's wattage Basically, the one-man clown-circus has his work cut out Wayne pudding Mol, Sid the Sloth, Underachiever and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I use my user name then all is good. It’s a gremlin in the system. So sometimes am forced to go in with the less used, if this makes senses? you don’t seem to rate the official fantasy from TDF? dunno. never done it, assume they are new in the game. but hey let's list them shall we Bikehub fantasy - great prizes, hosted here and works well - just wait for 2022 Superbru - tried and tested, across many different sports - great league component Procyclingtips - easy peesy single day tip - for the lazy out thetre Procyclinggame - probably the best and most realistic one. you need to be ON YOUR game 24/7 if you want to do well as prices drop faster than caleb ewan from the peleton on an Alpine cat2 the are others out there too, but ja well no fine. betaboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betaboy Posted June 24, 2021 Share Valverde for me is an incredible guy at his age to be mixing it with the new wave of talent, look his been a naughty boy in the past, and my first question was that performance at worlds in Hamilton. I think his grown as an athlete and accepted his limitations, his a clever guy who can read the races. I really want his team to win the overall team competition again! ✅ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, amazing to think the media thought he's past his best and he still managed 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 24, 2021 Share My annual wish: I hope all GC contenders are fit, stay upright and they all make it to Paris in their best possible form, without losing time for non race-tactic incidents, eg. held up in crash, or crash as a result of someone else's stupidity. Bring on the crosswinds and rider's errors in judgment, like not paying attention to their positioning on a final climb, etc. Do bonus seconds count this year? Haven't looked. Hope they do and they all race each other for those precious seconds. Should be a good Tour, on paper, let's hope it lives up to it on the road.

J Wakefield Posted June 24, 2021 Share Valverde can ride a bike but he is probably the best race reader and anitcipater ever. You cant dope or train your way to that. TNT1, Javas X, Jewbacca and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
