Velo Ratadog at the top of the Singletrack league and just outside the top 100 overall. Never happened before, never to be repeated.

Well a minor slip back today from 450th to 4500th!
It all starts tomorrow though.

I've slipped, but not so far. I was about 250th I think, down to 1831 of 14040 now. Still dizzying heights for me though ๐Ÿ™‚

My lads are taking it easy until the final week (or possibly after!).

I'm climbing again, Overall Rank: 660 of 14040. Pretty chuffed with that given that I have only superficial knowledge of the scene, I'm sure I'll get found out at some point

I am with slowoldman, scenery is far too good to be cycling around fast.

Oh dear, Mr Kruijswijk earned me 6 points before the bollard incident. Still much more painful for him than for me.

So far the only team member I have earning his keep is Valverde. The rest will be up for sale at the end of the season at this rate.

Not Too Shabby have had another (surprisingly) successful day. They've had their nutri-bullet juice recovery drinks & are now all tucked up in bed wearing team issue leader jersey PJs. Getting used to the view from the top step.......

Still sliding down the leader board and just to rub it in, Simon Yates, who I left out on a last minute whim to include Gesink, comes away with a win!!

Great racing today though. Sombrero.

Totally by accident Not Too Shabby snuck Yates in as a last minute replacement (cant recall who for now), so yet another day on top step. They are starting to get vertigo. And to think I'd been routing for Moviestar to pull the race apart up until then. Agree - very good day racing. Sombrero indeed.
