Heard an interesting stat on itv4 last night. Apparently on stage 15, when Pog did another of his specials on Ving, that day 6 riders went up the plateau de beille faster than nasty uncle Lance ever did. Pog has attributed it to a wider talent pool and greater investment in training resources.
Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent
Only 400 points in it.
I'm coming for you!

So the final score.Originally Posted by Witton Park
At the end of week 2 the standings are as set out below.
1/ 4737 voiture balai - Pierre Moliere (PeteS)
2/ 4466 Guess who`s back - Oracle
3/ 4379 Save the Forum - your's truly
4/ 3736 Blockheads Oi Oi - Llani Boy
Pete has lost Bilbao an Wright. He should be OK as his main players are still well in.
Oracle still has all 9 which might stand him in good stead come the final reckoning.
I've lost Roglic, Pederson and Morkov - not looking good
Llani is also still intact so will get me sooner or later
Llani's selection of Thomas and S Yates for GC backup has proven costly, especially considering Healy and Carapaz have done quite well for him.
Looks like last day for the sprinters today.
1/ 8353 Guess who`s back - Oracle
2/ 7878 voiture balai - Pierre Moliere (PeteS)
3/ 7381 Blockheads Oi Oi - Llani Boy
4/ 7331 Save the Forum - your's truly
Oracle gained by having 2nd, 3rd backed up by Carapaz and Gee.
I'll pass on our congratulations to Mike on behalf of the Forum.

Thanks WP for setting up.
I was snookered by picking two compatriot's who badly let me down scoring only 167 points between them.
Roll on the Vuelta!

Anyone seen Evenepoles squeaky bum moment in the olympic road race? I have to wonder if the Frenchman would have waited for him if he had passed him stood there waiting for a bike change...
