Team 210 are down to one man. George will continue solo after Duffy had to scratch with Achillies injury...

They should be available from today.

Ah right......

Do RCC members get first dibs?

Don't waste your money, or your time in loading phases.

Pauwels has looked pretty capable so far and in that group i'd say a tow to the climbs could see another stage for Dimension Data.
Or so i would like to think....

Valverde just needs to get on with it and push on.

I think someone mentioned this on previous pages, but the one thing that stood out for me yesterday was that neither Porte of Froome threw a hissy fit when they went down. Kudos to 'em.

i'd like to see Martin take a massive gamble for the stage today.

@Velocio yeah, it really does pack down to nothing, and provides enough warmth that you dont need arm warmers. The double zip is what makes the temp regulation work for me.

Groenewegen gets my vote.

The insulated gilet is one piece of kit that i didn't think i needed, but use soooooo much. Its amazing.
That doesn't help you at all @velocio. Apologies.

There is no 'one' solution for cramp, and that's what is so goddamn frustrating about it. If i switch from road to mtb, i get savage cramp in the adductors and it has nothing to do with hydration, fuel or stretching... On other days, i'll cramp up because its hot and i haven't taken any electrolytes.

I think Cav has a good few years left at the top level, but in what races seems unclear. Imagine though, if he did take a medal in Rio......

If Cav does get another stage, i will be over the moon.
I think i heard it on the Cycling Podcast, but i did find it interesting that its quite common for riders who takes the first sprint in the Tour, often go on to take 3 or 4 stages, possibly because of the confidence that is gained from taking the first scalp (Greipel took 4 last year, Kittel took 4 in 2014)

I may actually have to have a conversation with my other half tonight, although there will be some highlights on tonight, right?

Rolland will have a crack today i reckon.

Sutton resigns.
Who's stepping into this shitstorm.....

Jon at On Your Bike. The 'Oracle'.
Ring ahead and chat to him about your needs, and i am sure you'll be looked after.

Rapha have a 'pop up' sale coming to Birmingham on Friday, setting up for 3 days at The Market Hall in the Custard Factory.

If anyone is visiting Birmingham during the weekend of the Rapha sample sale, i'll be heading up a ride on the Sunday morning if you can make it. Departs The Custard Factory at 8am on the Sunday.

The pro team stuff is sooooooo good.

@sumo - saved that link, and you'd be well within your rights to give me the 'let me google that for you' dig. Thanks!

Thanks @sumo, i've just traced that journey. I'm staying by Highbury Fields for a couple of nights, and then in Highgate so i can use your route. i'm grateful.

I was at the track yesterday to pick up my accreditation.... wow, that whole area has changed a lot since the Olympics...
Whats it like cycling to and from if you are coming from North London?
