end of the first wout...er...week of racing. in the tdf tissot league, team velocrank leads while in the tdf gbbg league, team slow (s)pokes is about to reap the whirlwind.
as slcbob would say, "it's a long way to paris" with plenty of teams in both games packing some relatively dormant heavy hitters. i think everyone still has their entire roster
intact in the tdf tissot game and two teams are missing one rider (gilbert) in the tdf gbbg affair. pretty remarkable considering how many crashes the race has seen and how
many rosters are usually destroyed by now.
stage eight looks like a barnburner but that's what i thought about stage six...team michelton has its work cut out for it. maybe they'll send nieve and force the other teams to share the load.
hoping everyone makes it through intact because there are some dicey, downhill sections. *horrible prediction alert!* since bora gets the sprint out of the way relatively early in the stage,
going with lennard kämna from bora to win the stage.
