I'm almost tempted to set the alarm for the last couple of hours. It is the weekend. Is this sensible behaviour?

I'm going for all my team in the top 9 today and surge ahead of everyone.

Entirely.
That's precisely what I'll be doing. Only got up to watch Corkscrew Hill so far but I'm well up for this stage tonight. I know it's only TDU but it's turning into a really exciting little race and after all the waiting for the season to start, it hasn't disappointed.
On another note, Gilbert is turning out to be a right pain in the arse for me fantasy points wise as per usual. I put him in when he looks to be odds on and he lets me down. I take him out when he should be having a rest in the bunch and he goes and does things like he did yesterday
Now I've no clue how he's going to approach tonight's stage. If I leave him out he'll proabably win the bloody thing, put him in and he'll probably crash!

Only 2 riders from the same team is what kills it. If you could slip a third team member past the organisers without them noticing I reckon you could pretty much have all the serious bases covered.

I've had the same problems with Phillipe, and am ignoring him until the Spring Classics - they are in the Fantasy Cycling calendar, aren't they?
And I've already set the alarm.
Ok chaps, I'm lying on the sofa and about to nod off.
So against my better judgement, I'm going to bed now, and will see you @ 3.
Nighty night all.

Sky Sports 4 show a rerun at 8:30. Better to get up for that then at crazy o'clock to watch it live.

Thanks. I've now switched the alarm off. Bacon sandwich and TDU at 8.30. What's not to like?

That won't be available as a stream though will it? No Sky for me, strictly Freesat & Eurosport Player.

Be thankful you have that. I'm left with streams. Cycling isn't a very big sport over here (but lots of people cycle)

So THIS, i will try and do Super Bowl in a couple of weeks but normally wake up early hours in a Homer Simpson pose. Still hats off to you, especially with the Cup tie the same day. However I love G, one of my all time greats, but still going to get my shut eye first.
