Picked Thomas + nearly picked Kwiatkowski as well, so could have gone better.
Hopefully that's G's crash out of the way early...

Hopefully but I seem to remember him suffering post crash a number of times in the past? Not that he's alone in that but I don't think we'll see a Zoncolan/Fenestre like comeback like Froome pulled out, especially as it's only a few days before the crucial TTT and then MTF's.
Kwiatkowski's a tricky one - often steer clear as I'm not sure whether I'll get the fully committed flyer or the second gear cruising version.

With Sky in control at Dauphiné - not easy for team SkyFree.
Hope things turn out better in Tour de Suisse.

For someone who only follows women’s cycling once a season this will be a major challenge.  |

With the Velogames season championship now, there's automatically a Daily league for all games. So yes.
I guess the league code can be found early in this thread.

...and how pessimistically wrong I was but all good.
Anyway, congratulations to Peter Murphy for, what I think is, a first competition win and 15th overall too, nice!

I FINISHED 5TH!!! AND 99TH OVERALL!!! A record for me I think. However I'm currently second last in the Tour de Suisse so it's a very quick return to form.
Table will be updated shortly.

So Women's Tour is a bit of an education. Great coverage by the (free) Cycling Podcast if you, like me, fancy more insight (refreshing that all interviews are similar to those with Dumoulin i.e. it's novel to get the coverage so everyone is happy to talk and pretty honest) as well as highlights on TV.
The racing is so different (no break given any rope today (which apparently isn't that rare?) to the men's and difficult to gauge the likely outcome of stages as such, especially as it takes less undulation to break up the race.
First stage saw plenty of crashes in the last 20km, including Brennauer losing time and limping away at the finish line with an injured knee  Others involved in crashes included Wild, Rowe and a nasty one with a few hundred to go too for Van Twisk (lost consciousness but recovered okay in hospital and racing today still!).
Pieters, Rivera and Rowe going for intermediates for time - so all thinking of the long term GC.
D'Hoore took the eventual sprint by some margin, not a surprise normally but she hasn't even been sprinting in training since coming back from a recent broken collar bone so I overlooked her, pretty remarkable comeback! She went on record afterwards saying she would now revert to team duties as even from stage 2+ she thinks the racing will be too difficult for her to be competitive!
