All the flat sections between the climbs have killed this race. If only they designed the key stages better that as soon as you descend you start another climb. Having 30-50km valleys between climbs is just daft.

Liggett needs to go. His mistakes are getting worse.

Good luck tonight everyone. Hoping Rodriguez can somehow get the polka dots but I think that's going to Bardet. He'll do enough to get it.

This rider is going to remain nameless, as this was told to me in confidence, but I know of a professional rider over the last few years who rode professional and gave up because what he had to do was against everything he believed in. Regarding what I said about how riders don't talk. One...

Yeah, I had Lambert as emergency too, so all is not lost there. Well the thing is, is that cycling is a sport where it's physically hard to do what they do all the time without assistance. Some things they do is physically impossible even if you have the best dietitians, exercise...

I had Ablett as captain in Supercoach. I have 2 trades left in Supercoach so Ablett's injury doesn't hurt me ahead of finals, but, now I have to burn a trade so if I get more injuries, i'm screwed. But this is how I play every year. I go a high risk approach. I usually burn trades by round 16/17...

I will elaborate on this. When Floyd Landis was in Melbourne in 2010 for the World Championships, I looked after him for the week. I had dinner with him and other every week. I also did an interview with him which was published. Anyway, the stuff he was telling me was quite insightful. I knew at...

And about Evans. He finally won a Tour de France when he was more aggressive. No coincidence there.

Fuck Dayne Beams isn't playing? My RDT is fucked anyway. 0 trades left. Hope I have an emergency so I can still put out big scores for the league.

It's definitely not going to a break tonight. Rodriguez and Bardet will attack to try and get the polka dots. But the break won't get a big lead. Trust me. Froome, Quintana have both said they want to win this stage. 0% chance someone from the break winning. Maybe an early attacker could win...

Unfortunately I don't think they are ever going to catch Froome unless they set him up like they did Landis.

Evans yes Nibali no I've always thought Nibali would win one.

Quintana wants to win the stage and he cares about that more than the overall win, so he will attack a few km from the finish and drop Froome and win by 30 odd seconds. I don't get what has happened to Quintana though. He won the Giro and he attacked and attacked and attacked. Ever since that...

Quintana will never win a Tour de France. Neither will Van Garderen. You don't win Grand Tours with the negative style of riding they have.

Quintana is a negative rider who has no balls. He should have attacked earlier and he might have had a shot to win. Don't wait until 2km to go and be a pussy. Be prepared to lose 2nd to win by attacking a long way out.

Everyone is using them. Sky just have the better program. Astana were majorly doped to the eyeballs in the Giro d'Italia though (Tour of Italy, the 1st Grand Tour of the year over 3 weeks). Although, maybe it was the lack of competition that made them look good because they have been shit here...

We're being ripped off. We get Tomalaris and McEwen or bighead McKenzie, then 5 minutes of cooking. The french get Tony Gallopin's missus.

Keep: Sagan, Valverde, Froome, Gesink, Bakelandts, Gallopin, Sagan, Simon, EBH are your sprinters for the final day. I would keep Rodriguez for now, and then trade him out for Quintana after Stage 19. He won't score as much as Quintana would on that stage and he will give you extra points for...

I've done my trades for the next few stages leaving me 3 for the final stage. Sagan, Froome, Barguil, Rodriguez, Quintana all stay in. Demare goes out for Pauwels Arredondo goes out for Gesink (watch Arredondo finally get in breaks now) Sicard goes out for Yates Contador goes out for Riblon...

Hopefully today is a day for Romain Sicard
