    I was so tempted to pick Costa for this stage but didn't - think I may have made a mistake?

    Fun finish, decent stage.
    Fraile is going to do another lap apparently. :P

    Thomas gives back most of what he gained yesterday.

    Fraile is anything but. Nice to see him rewarded for his ride in Yorkshire.

    Hat - that's a great shout. I saw your pick and was actually tempted to go with Fralie as well, but plumped for Yates as I thought he'd give it a right go today

    My PTP advice would be to take a look at who I've picked, and then pick someone else...

    Yeah, but if we follow that advice through into everything and do the opposite of what you advise (because the implication is that your judgement is awful), then we end up looking at who you've picked and pick them. Then we're all stuck in a paradox: like I haven't got enough problems after choosing the wrong bloody Dimension Data rider?

    Would it help if I suggested you DO pick the same riders as me?

    So perhaps "Gruppo" is the right word.

    Isn't "Gruppo" the word for the Campagnolo fitted to your Italian frame?

    Thought Pinot's attack was really interesting.

    Off topic slightly but does anyone know if the Stelvio stage (tuesday) is going to go ahead as planned? I saw they had lots of snow there so wanted to make sure before I book the afternoon off!
