Oh for the simpler things in life:- 1282961170652069888

One for Triggaaar

35 bloody points. Just 35 bloody points, I'm so :angry: I'd resigned myself to losing by 3 figures, not 35 lousy points. At least me and PB had the honour of fighting the battle for top spot for most of the 3 weeks. We weren't skulking mid-table like some snidely shyster waiting to somehow...

I've been sweating on this all Tour. As much as I know 8ace is a big boy and can do what he wants with his money. The fact that I wouldn't bet that 'big' on Le Tour, on my say so, means I was somewhat concerned. Not helped by the fact the Matthews didn't even come into the reckoning until stage...

Make the most of him, irrespective of Froome's Tour greatness Sagan is the era defining cyclist. He's the rider we'll be watching 'old' footage of in 50 years time saying 'I actually saw him ride'.

Stage 21: Chantilly - Paris Champs-Élysées, 113 km This day is only about one thing, and you don't need a map for that:- Once again one of the greatest rides ever, by a rider who didn't win. Prognostication:- Kittel Kristoff Sagan :bowdown:

nuts nuts nuts. I hadn't taken into consideration the points awarded for final GC. Nuts Made all the worse by knowing who will be sipping champers. Nuts :nono::angry::angry::nono::tantrum::tantrum: :down: :lol:

Ok chaps, so I can relax in front of the cricket highlights I'm going to give you all a nice heads up for bets to avoid tomorrow. I left £7 in my account and that has gone to:- £3 win Brain Cockhard @ 8/1 £1 ew Matthews @ 50/1 - He's hoovered up alpine points - why :shrug: £1 ew Groenewegen @...

In a change from the norm, just because it made me laugh:- 17 Wouter Poels (Ned) Team Sky 18 Geraint Thomas (GBr) Team Sky 19 Sergio Henao (Col) Team Sky 20 Christopher Froome (GBr) Team Sky 21 Mikel Nieve (Spa) Team Sky 22 Richie Porte (Aus) BMC Racing Team Richie really...

Unsurprisingly Sagan received the 'most combative rider of the tour' award, today.

Don't worry G will pick up the slack.

Tomorrow, should I be posting while drinking champagne and riding around the lounge on Lil Miss Stat's bike? #finaldayfantasycliches :lolol:

Hopefully Team Sky can snatch Pantano out from Trek in order to strengthen their chances of a 4th Froomey yellow.

I think you're nearer the mark with money Ty. The other GC riders just couldn't put the likes of Poels to bed, before they could even attack Froome. I'm not holding that against them. If Bardet had half an eye on the top spot of the podium he would have been alone riding against 9 men, and...

Just a quickie today. Stage 20: Megève - Morzine, 146 km Prognostication:- A lesser version of yesterday, some squabbling for places but no big moves. The remnants of the break will stay away.

I just had to check I was looking at today's on-board footage, as it's dishwatertastic. 1 Romain Bardet (Fra) AG2R La Mondiale 4:14:08 2 Joaquim Rodriguez (Spa) Team Katusha 0:00:23 3 Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Movistar Team 4 Louis Meintjes (RSA) Lampre - Merida 5 Nairo Quintana...

Just enough time to blow my own :vuvu: 'I pity the fool' that takes on 'driving' this thread next year. Prognosticating Stat hasn't missed by much all race*. *I know all that proves is it's been really predictable.

and I'm £40 up because of it. :lol: Great riding today, in with a couple of nasty crashes. Wout Poels did a fantastic job 12 months ago, and has done even better today. One of the reasons I love watching cycling is for that kind of selfless riding.

I've had a couple of quid on Bidet, today. As well as 3 long priced e/w'ers. No this is Porte we're talking about, he'd have screwed up somehow. I'm picturing him being plucked off the mountain by a eagle in stage 9.
