auditioning a buncha guys for the tour and going waay under credits. my strategery should find me solidly enconsced in last.
I dunno about that. Gallo's 0 in stage 1 -- with all the assist and breakaway and misc points flying around, that is HARD TO DO. Any relation to the esteemed attorney Jerry Gallo? Or is that Callo?
My coin flips were between Valverde & Bardet, and a churn of the 8-10-12 pointers around Coquard-Brambilia-Kwiatkowski-Colbrelli-Talansky(cursed every time I pick him)-Roche-Kreuziger-Richeze. I saw De Gendt there for a bargain 6, almost used him to stretch the budget a bit knowing he'd be good for some mountain and breakaway points, never thought the bunch would let him get away with a stage win.
Good for De Gendt, he's a scrapper. Great to see.
