I think it's an opportunity missed. Sooner or later Labour need to start showing they are an alternative. The party voting should have been managed so that enough voted against it while guaranteeing it still went through. They could have issued a list of concerns and demands at the same time...

It was a toss up for me between Roglic and Dumoulin, I picked wrong, lucky for you lot otherwise I’d have romped it 😂

I hadn't checked any race reports for the last couple of days so missed this :LOL:

Great thanks! I was around 200th place before yesterday. Not a good day for me. Dumoulin needs to get his finger out.

I meant in the FMTTM league, I have a team in the general comp. Had a team for the Giro too, but never got around to joining the FMTTM league for that. :oops:

I vaguely remember reading that Manchester United during the Ferguson were the biggest advocate for equally shared TV money in the Premier League. They understood the commercial value of a competitive league. Under new ownership they don't care about the competitive league, they just care about...

Can I still join the league? Been trying to get online to find this thread and kept getting sidetracked!

There were some riders badly affected by the wind in the first TT, any idea if that was a factor between the 3 main contenders? Think Ineos have the better team too and have the riders to really hurt Sunweb and the rest on the way to the Sestriere.

Brilliant stage. Guess the GC riders will have an easy day tomorrow before fireworks on the Sestriere. Be interesting to see how TGH TTs too when he has to really perform.

It's obvious this is an American tempt to introduce the "locked door" franchise scenario they have for NFL, NBA etc. Invite only, no relegation, money kept within the league. Wouldn't surprise me if they propose to have practice squad type teams in the domestic leagues. This has been on the...

Haven't checked the stages, how are the TTs this edition? I took Dumoulin instead of Roglic, so interesting to see how that turns out. Guess we see Froome is there for sentiment now, wonder if they expect he will hit some form at the end and be able to function as a domestique, because as...

Will be very interesting to see how he goes in the high mountains, or if he saves himself for the TTs and possibly even some of the “flat” days. Yates make a tactical mistake today? Hanging around the back of the group is often risky.

Helicopter flying low blew barriers into the road and caused a crash. Wackerman might have “broken back” 👀

Lopez looked like he was moving from the tempo bars onto the main to change gear and then hit a bump. No chance to do anything about it when he comes completely off the bars and just had to accept the impact. Anybody seen anything on his injuries? He went to hospital in an ambulance. Yates did...

I would think that with the added pressure on the police with the current major issues (BLM protests, Covid) that stress levels are high and things easily overlooked. Another tragic loss of life. Should be life for the shooter if they survive, no questions asked.

Yes, thanks!

There are 2 guys at UAE with checkered pasts, I can't remember the name of the other one now though.

Depends more on the value to you. Farmers and land owners aren't daft and don't often sell at the "going rate" to private buyers. I paid a neighbouring farmer probably 5x the worth of the small piece of land I wanted to extend the garden. Land was useless to him too really.

I was surprised reading that yesterday, he certainly didn't look a candidate for doping with his performances in the Tour.

I like the TT at the end of the race, it's a good way to ensure teams need to try and win stages properly since even a relatively healthy lead can be lost. I would maybe have it as the 2nd / 3rd from the end though, with a couple of tough mountain stages after, just to give riders the chance to...
