    Bernal looks like Geraint Thomas with a mask on

    Sounds like Yates may have been a bit ill in the first week.

    The Danish cycling website 'feltet', although tipping Bernal as favourite for today, also thought the winner might come from a break which included Mollema and Bennett, together with a few other riders, one of the possible others being Lorenzo Fortunato!

    Can't imagine anyone else (apart from Bertie) would have tipped him.

    Glad they don't play PTP on here!

    They don't happen to have predicted tonight's lottery numbers, by any chance? :o
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    I had Bennett, would have been better off just going with Bernal again... rubbish.

    PTP tends to reward boring picks. It's unfortunate.

    Yeah I normally just go with whoever had the shortest odds, only occasionally exercise a bit of judgement when it's obviously stupid

    I'm going to be 'that' guy, but imagine this was Narvaez going back down to help Ganna get in before the time limit?

    Given Bennett is wearing a jacket and a towel, and Affini has his arm on Bennets shoulder, I doubt he is really helping... looks more like commiserations/apology for not capitalising on Affini's work.

    Not even sure if Affini was close to the time limit?

    But yes, technically not allowed.
