    Rozzer32's mind games appear to have hit red.rider hard, resulting in a pick beyond the deadline (would have been Philipsen for anyone tracking late picks) - Rozzer32 also had a late change via DM (11:52) to Roglič and today's stage could decide the season if it goes the way of the Slovenian (barring a Froome-esque return by Mas).

    Sorry TheBigBean, I am always feeling generous but the orange man in the white house is showing us all how important it is to stick to the pre-agreed rules in the final tally - 3 minutes here, an hour or two there becomes no deadline (I'm sure shockedsoshocked will appreciate the consistency, if not the implementation).

    I know I know.

    Sure there's another thread in the first one, riders protecting 7th or 8th etc.

    And will take the second as stage 18 :)

    Well, since hedging bets will achieve nothing I may as well go all in.
    All or nothing, probably nothing. S17 - Carapaz.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    B-A-L-L-S! Should have known red would become wise to that trick.

    I chose the alternative approach of picking blindly last night and staying offline :#
    You really overestimate my reading of the game :D

    Sorry obviously I mean the Irish sprinter. Not the guy from down under and has a girlfriend who makes amazing custom shoes.
