Thanks SIGO, wish they were all that easy. Tomorrow could be a Kittel day, but let's see what they throw at us first.

 

[P-Unit]

Nice call on Sagan. Tailed you on that one.

 

[captjohn67]

Glad to hear it P-unit, let's try and pick up one today. Going with Greipel -140 Kristoff for a half as well. GLTA

Will be interesting to see what race officials do with that clusterfuck of and ending of stage 12. A motorcycle had to stop ( I'm guessing because the crowd had the road blocked) and Froome was caught up in the wreck. He should have waited on a bike and not ran. I honestly have no idea what they'll decide on this, but him running will probably cost him.

 

[captjohn67]

I understand shortening the race distance because of the winds up top, but all the fans pushing down made a very dangerous situation happen. Race officials are fucking idiots, and I'm not saying this because I have Froome. There were no barriers for the other idiots (fans) and you have to think of the safety issues first and foremost.

what will the ruling be?

what will the ruling be?

I would think they would freeze the field when the accident occurred, but pure speculation. They didn't have any numbers up this morning and I'm glad they didn't or I would have probably been involved in some capacity. I've been waiting to see if Quintana could make a move on Froome, and he can't.

oh yeah, watched almost every minute of it. Froome is still in yellow and second place is 47 seconds back. They at least got that right.

Reichenbach +125 Van Garderen

De Gendt +105 Rui Costa

 

[captjohn67]

7-2

Meintjes +115 Martin....just think he has a little more left in the tank

seriously considered Porte +250 Froome, but couldn't hit submit

 

[captjohn67]

8-2

Valverde +100 Poels....wrong man favored. Couple of others I like, but this is the only one that jumped off the page.

 

[captjohn67]

Froome is only -130 Porte, but I could see Froome giving him a little time on this one and not caring. But on the other hand, he's a freeking machine. Certainly as cheap as you'll see him, but pass for me. Will be a rough day for some of the tired legs tomorrow.

7-2

Meintjes +115 Martin....just think he has a little more left in the tank

seriously considered Porte +250 Froome, but couldn't hit submit

Another nice hit. thanks again.

 

[captjohn67]

Another nice hit. thanks again.

You buy the first round and I'll buy the next twenty. Interested to see who wilts today. Hopefully they will give us something for tomorrow. Cheers P.

9-2...luck counts big time ...lot of skin left on the pavement today

Majka +165 Pantano

 

[captjohn67]

9-3

Coquard -160 Degenkolb.....been a good run however this one shakes out. Good luck with whatever you have on the board today. :cheers3:
