My TDF team pretty much all crashed out. So I've put the kiss of death on some quite popular guys here too. Sorry!

I've dropped down the table and Dick Brown has lost top spot, but it's very close at the top

One of my domestiques didn't start. I'm annoyed as I checked my team the day before and it wasn't obvious that he had pulled out some time before.

Sill my team is looking good in 12th. Shame I have the wrong Nibali ๐Ÿ˜†

Mid table mediocrity for me, was at the finish yesterday hoping for a Blythe win, unfortunately his team fell apart before the sprint. Back to normal service for the rest of the week with lumpy stages and finishes akin to riding up a wall. Off to the Basque company week after next, stage 17 looks brutal, could be the decider.

Crikey,how did that happen? It can't last!

Definite mid table mediocrity in the the Tour and in the fantasy Giro I think just about everyone in my team crashed/withdrew/had the shits ๐Ÿ˜†

Been running in stealth mode before remembering that there might be an STW league. Now joined and ready for a slow slide down the table.
