I really messed up. Was going to make my picks today without realizing Hungary set their clocks forward a day.
I feel sorry for anyone who picked Caleb or Tom Dom.

More competition is always good. Even better when they pick poorly.
Mark it down now. July 2!
For all the Dumo fans, Froome should be value priced. And I sincerely hope that works out.

Kudos yourself, ooga-booga . Top 3% of the Gen Pop and 3x+ my score. Ouch.
I am only in the bottom 10% so the maglia nera is a stretch, but I think I will cling to the maglia marrone for another day before I [hopefully!!] start to claw my way back. It's a long way to claw the way you and Gallo got started.

still waiting to see what rule #87 has in store for us. would like to dismiss him and he seems to be subject to all the (self-created) immediate drama but still haz undeniable talent.

I am looking forward to Etna as it may be the first relief for me from having you MVDP / Girmay folks kicking me in the loins. I'm playing the long game but may need to drink more to get there.
I won't put it past Landa taking over that job and screwing up my Bilbao pick with some interim team obligation prior to DNFing in the 2nd week.
I think Bora is going to make it interesting. Mrs. slcbob is a fan of Dumoulin and our Simon; let's see what they've got.
Deep pick: Bardet.

I think this is the earliest that I've had so many point scorers on my team...even Craddock picked up a few points for me yesterday! If Lopez has a good day on Etna tomorrow, all 9 riders will have points!

Oh, Tom.
Hugh, I canna have you pedaling in at the end of the bunch. Velopoints are the coin of the realm here, lad. Don't give me this "no time gap" nonsense.
dstrong , oops, wrong Lopez. Que lastima. El se quedo allá. Quizás la Vuelta.
I hope to survive another day or two of the MVDP / Girmay onslaught before we get steep again, and then eventually have the end of tour ciclimina points make up the very painful early deficit. It's no consolation that my stock picks aren't doing any better. For now.

Tough crowd
Stage winner and I drop a couple places
Cant complain one of my best performances in Velogames for me
Tomorrow should be interesting really hilly No predictions as far as who is in. Should be a stage hunters paradise.
You have to believe that GC teams want to save for Sunday
Sunday we should find out who is contending for Verona
Today we find out is Ewan has anything.
Looks like Cav to me
Rooting for Demare

It is a tough crowd, Gallo. Our little BF league is like Lake Wobegon -- most of the children are above average. I know this because I see that I managed to creep back to just below the 50th percentile of the Gen Pop (~9500 out of 18,000+), but I am still staring at the back of the BF peloton.

I await to see how my fortunes change the next few days with Fortunato. Not hopeful considering they sent Rosa on a random outing today. Great to see Eolo's mountain help soloing out front on a flat stage!?
