Chrisull Jun 2015 11:28pm, 30 Jun 2015 7,509 posts	0 Chrisull A great ride can always win me over, Quintana's on the descent off the Stelvio and his attack on the ascent is a case in point, Horner's breaking of Nibali on the Angliru.
Dai Bank Jul 2015 2:36pm, 2 Jul 2015 4,152 posts	0 Dai Bank Right I'm back. Picked up on the Fantasy League thing about a dozen pages ago, think I've pressed the right buttons but doesn't seem to have changed in my header. Can someone please have a look at theirs. If it's not changed I'll have to find out how to do it correctly. Team presentation tonight on Eurosport about 5-ish iirc. Good to see young Luke gets a ride but can't believe how he left the door open on sunday for Stannard to squeeze though 50 metres from the line, should have put him in the barriers lol.

The Teaboy Jul 2015 2:57pm, 2 Jul 2015 13,056 posts	0 The Teaboy Quintana's descent on the 'neutralised' Stelvio?
Dai Bank Jul 2015 3:12pm, 2 Jul 2015 4,154 posts	0 Dai Bank Good spot T. Yes the infamous Giro organisers struck again when 95% of the riders slowed and the front group, including Quintana, descended like it wasn't raining or sleeting, claimimg no-one told them there was a neutralisation. Porte is currently 3rd ranking rider on the World Tour, just a tad high for someone who doesn't seem to have much support from a few on here. I think I said on the 2014 Tour thread that he would a "jour sans" on one day and that turned out to be so. It'll happen again, probably on the Tourmalet stage, he doesn't do high mountains all that well. I picked Pinot last year for the win, i'm going to do so again although the TTT will do for him. OGE will romp that stage. Dan Martin for the Huy stage. Cav for Amiens as his first stage win although I hope for the first dutch stage too but he does take a few days to warm up. Vanmarcke has been talking himself up for Cambrai, he might do it but if he gets let of the leash I'm going for G. I did in 2010 when he got 2nd and last year when he had to shepherd Porte, I hope that others will have the job of looking after Froomey, specifically Rowe and Stannard. Bretagne will be Valverde. Sagan for green again, Dots open to a few, young rider to one of the Yates boys. Tommy V to gurn his way around as per. Think I'm safe on that one.
Meglet Jul 2015 3:17pm, 2 Jul 2015 16,054 posts	0 Meglet They've changed the points allocation for green, weighting stage wins more than intermediate sprints. So I think Cav has a better chance than Sagan this year.
Dai Bank Jul 2015 3:21pm, 2 Jul 2015 4,155 posts	0 Dai Bank Yeah I saw that M but I still reckon that Cav will lose out, sadly.
Dai Bank Jul 2015 4:04pm, 2 Jul 2015 4,156 posts	0 Dai Bank telegraph.co.uk Here we go again, mechanical doping made easier and the UCI will have to check more bikes in the next few weeks. I have enough trouble keeping up with Norman and his mates on electric bikes on the Taff Trail, they engage warp drive and do 22mph on a narrow trail while i'm doing 120rpm in 38 x15 tucked on their wheel. What will happen when Porte is smashing it on 36x 23 and engages another 250 watts. PS Norman is 84 and his mates are late'70s Seems like the Telegraph is proving that a newspaper it is not, truly pmsl.
Gobi Jul 2015 4:22pm, 2 Jul 2015 56,442 posts	0 Gobi Oh I read this the other day and it is truly impressive the big plus is it still makes a noise so others may detect it. Of course you jump the peloton head up the road and then use it to keep you there .......
