Still only the two withdrawals listed, both of which were off that crash before reaching any cobbles.

He did, didn't he? I thought he was involved in at last one minor incident.

He's actually quite good on cobbles. He's won E3 and been top 10 at Paris-Roubaix and Flanders.

It was reported tha Geraint went off at the same time as Froome and Kristoff, but the Sky teammate on the ground definitely wasn’t wearing his trademark Racing Jackets.

Tejay crying now. Standard. I’m sure Michael Matthews (abandon) and Viviani (not even in the TdF) are crying somewhere too.

BMC have merged with CCC, so hopefully we get Molteni style bright orange with black bands jerseys.

It's not a merger:

quote:

Is this a merger of BMC Racing Team and CCC Sprandi Polkowice?

This is not a merger of BMC Racing Team and CCC Sprandi Polkowice. CCC has identified the exciting opportunity to assume title sponsorship of a UCI WorldTour cycling team and in doing so is partnering with the existing Continuum Sports organization.
https://www.bmc-switzerland.com/int-en/experience/the-feedzone/ccc_to_become_title_sponsor_of_continuum_sports_in_2019/ (Continuum Sports is Team BMC)

I don't think it's decided yet what will happen to CCC Sprandi

Help me beat my brother-in-law at fantasy cycling, who is a good shout for mountain breakaway wins this week? It feels a bit pointless picking GT contenders that will get marked.

Thomas de Gendt? Serge Pauwels? It's tough to find someone that won't be playing domestique.

Believe in Barguil!

But seriously, Caruso maybe after the BMC gc challenge imploded? He’s 9 mins back so might be left to get away, but that’s still maybe too close for the big teams to be comfortable with.

Everyone else is still riding GC placings until things change so there’s just too many to pick from.

Guillaume Martin?

Pick someone from Wanty or Direct Energie they'll be in every breakaway from now until Paris.

I hope it doesn't happen, but I think Valverde will be in yellow for the final TT, then Froome wins.
