No doubt. I know you said you like Pinot mc, I hope you had him. You deserve a win for the effort on the threads.

True. Same as Nibali yesterday. You still need the class to pull off the win though.

I guess that's what MC sees in Pinot when the Frenchman can come out on the big stage and suffer like that. Impressive stuff.

So was the flat/windy stage 2 the difference in the end?

think Valverde got him on the line anyway

I tipped Pinot on stage 17 and 18 and he didn't come through so I thought I better stop tipping him. Obviously too much pressure for him.
Thankfully I didn't stop backing him. I'm just dirty because I would of had more on him if I hadn't backed him in the 3 stages prior to today.

what made me go for Pinot was the fact that there was 2 climbs but only 1 descent

That was an absolutely amazing stage and this has been a cracking Tour.

lol, nice one.
Big effort from Pinot because he was dropped early on the Croix de Fer. I had Quintana, Pinot and Barguil in a head-to-head stage bet 3-leg multi today and both the French were in difficulty on the first climb. Barguil was one of the first dropped, does anyone know where he finished? I remember Jens Voight saying he will probably get back on but the other commentator was saying he was gone.

Have to agree mc. I was a bit down on Movistar's tactics and I still think they could of done more to get the yellow jersey, but 2nd and 3rd on the podium and winning the teams classification would probably be seen as a success for them. I think Valverde could of won a couple stages and rode more like Richie Porte, a proper domestique. It was obvious however that Valverde really cherished that spot on the podium, good for him, I didn't think he had that in him. 2 classics and a podium in the TdF, not a bad year.
