What a finish! Hope Caleb Ewan can carry on tomorrow.
He looked OK. Great first stage end .... There'll be some really paying for that effort tomorrow. That was anaerobic for a long long way.

You have picked Yates which not many have done. Think that might even out the fact that you don”t have MVP.Well, not entirely predictable. My team is selected for the backloaded GC but I do think not picking MVP was a mistake now.

It’s a fascinating game. For a three week tour it’s all about picking up points consistently hence choosing two sprinters for my team. Whether they are the right sprinters is another thing Oh and finding the ciclimino jersey winner!True. I hope he manages to avoid his customary melt down this year. The last time he had a great opening ITT he flopped. My other regret is going for Ulissi instead of Tullet ... but I figured Tullet would be on full domestique duty later. I expected Ulissi to do better in the ITT. Arensman was kind of my "secret weapon". One or two others have him as well.
I expect to fall further behind today but to start climbing the table from Etna onwards as the daily GC starts to have an impact.
I like your team. Think your choice of Yates is the key because he looked supreme yesterday in the ITT. He has improved immeasurably on the TT bike. Indeed I read he was even fastest on the first part of yesterdays course which was flat!True. I hope he manages to avoid his customary melt down this year.

Not sure of the circumstances. Seems like he didnt start. Illness?Miguel Angel Lopez abandons on Stage 4 on Etna.
