    Shouldn't have dry roads and corners in the Tour. Too dangerous.

    that's the main thing.

    Did you put something on Trentin?

    Minute lost. I'm bringing my PTP luck to Velogames picks too.


    Always was. Had a good 20km in a mountain stage and everyone thinks he's great.


    Just isn't. Far too overhyped. His team worked that out too. "Can pay for your own tow to the line - you're sh!t"

    Aye, hard to argue against that.

    JvdB also needs to crash less.

    Getting tedious.

    The attacking riding is good to watch, but if Sagan wouldn't have attacked on the hill, he would have won this. Again.

    Jacob Fuglsang agrees with you.

    What was your bet Turfle?

    Seen their heads giving the tarmac a fair beating in all the crashes so far. Talansky is not gonna be in a good mood for Stage 8 mountain stage!

    £5 @ 40/1 e/w on Trentin
    and £2.50 @ 33/1 e/w on Gallopin

    I'm having a nice week!

    Looked exactly the opposite tbh. Gerrans came right across Talansky and clipped his front wheel in the process.

    And Gallopin. I've done Trentin every day since Cav crashed out though!

    Ah OK, couldn't really see, was trying to take note of the top 10 for PTP.

    Disagree. Talansky looking the wrong way so can't react to Gerrans.

    Ok, it was fairly obvious, but I'm so rarely right about this sort of stuff I wanted to highlight it.

    Van Avermaet needs to talk with his legs and not his mouth

    'I couldn't have designed a more perfect finish myself'

    douchebag.

    Woah that's a bit much.

    He's right - no finish will suit him better.

    He just got the wrong companion when he went.

    Fame or self: Which matters more?
    Self or wealth: Which is more precious?
    Gain or loss: Which is the more painful?

    He who is attached to things will suffer much.
    He who saves will suffer heavy loss.
    A contented man is never disappointed.
    He who knows when to stop does not find himself in trouble.
    He will stay forever safe.

    Looks like Gerrans took out Talansky there, cut across his front wheel as Talansky was trying to get out of the way for the fast finishers.

    Did Leo Konig crash in that last-corner spill too?

    DD.

    Talansky would have stayed upright had he looked forward. You're entitled to go for a wheel.

    Vaughters is p*ssed with Gerrans.

    Toblerone Boy looks like he's absolutely loving life and has lots of love for Bernie.

    Flecha is good as a telly person.

    Thought he was awful when he first started but hard to disagree with that now tbh.

    Yes, he is entitled to go for a wheel but not to cut across the rider behind. Talansky was eyes-front when he got hit. What was Gerrans doing on Talansky's wheel anyway if he was really going for the win? Carlton Kirby reckoned Gerrans would have won if he hadn't bumped Talansky but that is BS.

    DD.
