Tangerine dream - Howard Waller takes the first yellow Jersey. Im in second so I think that means I'm in green 😉

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon

Lol happy with my sprinters, it's my marathoners I'm worried about 😉

Thanks SPR. Looks like I got lucky with both Cav AND Sagan in my team

Loved the ITV commentary for the run in. A Brit winning definitely helps.

Oranj
Oh yes!
Every year I pick a balanced team that comes good in the final week, usually finishing in the top 5% of Velogames, just around the time everyone else has given up looking at how their team's doing. This year I've gone a bit mad with the selections for more later jeopardy.

I like ITVs commentary, happy to be rid of Liggett and Sherwin, not sure when ITV stopped using them for the Tour but it couldn't come soon enough.
I notice Chris has Froome and Quintana so may do a late charge as you used to do Oranj. Despite having two top sprinters, I think I have decent guys for the mountains but not having Froome or Quintana might mean trouble.

It was weird not hearing Liggett & Sherwin but I thought they did well. You can't beat the good old days of Duffers on Eurosport though - those were the days.

Boulting and Millar have been doing commentary together since last year's Tour de Yorkshire, but this is the first year they've done the TdF. I like them as a duo, and Millar's rider knowledge and insight is excellent.
I'm a big Cavendish fan but didn't believe he could do much at this tour, especially having lost out in the national race last week (though I didn't actually see it). Happy to be proved wrong. I'd love him to win the Olympic medal to add the missing piece. I predict he's going home before the mountains, unless he has loads of green jersey points and Sagan crashes out

Oooh the cats out of the bag, and I would have got away with it, if it hadn't have been for those pesky kids...
