    Have to say, given how big the ITV boys went on Gaviria I'm surprised at the lack of PTP love for him. The few who have are almost up for a combativity award no?
    He's the second most picked. Only the person who picked Griepel (BelgianBeerGeek I think) is up for combativity points today.

    Lawson Craddock has rolled over the line, with what looks like the broom wagon behind him - presumably today's Lanterne Rouge despite the desperate attempts of the so-called bigger names in front of him.

    Probably as much as French tv is the Bardet supporters club or Dutch tv is the Dumoulin supporters club. Always amazes me that people are surprised by this.
