MURito with bandages on his fake injuries!

Who was laying Rodriguez at 7.0 when he hit the front?
|
|
By:
Yellow? Froome?

By:
Wow Froomey on fire. Storming ride.

Discounted Rodriguez because of his injuries. He plays a good poker game!

Froome making the first week look like a walk in the park

By:
The one that backed him at 10s, perhaps...

Froome by a second over Panzerwagon.

Gutted I discounted Purito because of the fall yesterday!
The early indications are that Froome is going to take some beating here, he looks super strong and in yellow already! Could be the last anyone else sees of that yellow jersey this tour! |

Dont forget tomorrow's stage, everything can change!

Really need to find a bookmaker for cycling betting. Vuillermoz would have earned me a few pennies there E/W.
Any decent ones for cycling that aren't the usual suspects? Limited at most of the popular ones. |

Vuillermoz 3rd was a good ride -- fighting stuff from Dan Martin and Tony Gallopin made my short list but discounted him on the basis of his best being 16th in FW, but he nevertheless went too early, actually an amateur mistake on this climb as Is freely accepted. Looks like Kwiatkowski just didn't have the legs and was working to get the Panzerwagon into yellow -- my mistake and my apologies if anyone couldn't offload those 23s.

Couldn't believe Froome was still near 3.0 yesterday, thought he'd be closer to evens.
Good point though EB, I'm still waiting until after stage 4. |

Lovely stuff from Froome, I'm not complaining, but wouldn't be getting too excited about him sewing this up already.
|

By:
Gallopin 5th wow. He'll win a stage this tour.
S.Yates 8th and went down in the crash. |
|
By:
That wasn't the Nibali of last year ,and Quintana too never looking comfortable.
Contador looked drained at the end of the Giro and I am not surprised he struggled. Froome has planted a big doubt in their heads . And Rodriguez on the type of finish is a joy to watch ,and was my favourite pre race. |

Yeah I backed J.Rod at Fleche Wallonne this year and I swear he sat right on the front of the bunch on the Mur and didn't even try on purpose. He was 3.5 fav at Fleche and was 9.0 today so maybe he backed himself today. He probably didn't even crash yesterday, just wanted a better price. lol. MURito. Glad I was able to get on a saver live with about 30km to go.

Mollema was disappointing, was there amongst it, but was pedalling squares quite early on, and there was no launch mode whatsoever from him. The Sagan talk was crap -- I knew it -- never suited over this ground -- I should've smashed those 6s. Yes, nugget, have Gallopin penciled-in for a suitable stage already after that ride, might have fought it out if he was more patient, just by brute strength instead of finesse, I guess.

That's a good point, and a good way of looking at it 626, Froome has won a big psychological advantage there -- if he can make his rivals think they can't match him this year than that'll be half the battle won right there. Now we'll see if it has affected any of them and to what degree. And can Froome stay upright tomorrow -- it's going to be dry looks like, that'll help!

Showers for tomorrow it looks like. So hopefully the pack avoid the worst of it.

Market still likes Quintana's chances, still at 4.0. Froome at 2.3. Thought there might be more of an overreaction. Froome 1'56" up on Quintana is a nice gap. I struggle to see him making that up on MTF's alone, he's going to have to go for a long one, the Tourmalet perhaps.
Froome looks really switched on right now, he could even do well tomorrow. Fairly windy tomorrow by the looks of it and a chance of rain but not until after 6pm. |
|
By:
Thomas, Stannard and Rowe for Sky are excellent cobbles riders, Froome shouldn't lose much time tomorrow but is still yet to ride across the cobbles himself in a race I believe. Quintana is going to have to be on high alert as his team looks the least suited to the cobbles and crosswinds.

Bad luck for OGE, Gerrans broken wrist. Matthews, Impey and S.Yates all hitting the deck. Hopefully they can regroup as I think there is a few stages they could really target.
