    Re: Cycling 2017.

    Those are some interesting picks. Sagan could really win a lot, but I'm skeptical of his teammates. I did switch from Aru to Greipel. Too many sprints to just have one sprinter. I'm surprised no one is picking Fuglsong.

      I won't pick riders I hate, just to have a possibly higher scoring team. So no Froome or Porte.

      Thibaut Pinot FDJ 14
      Simon Yates ORICA-Scott 10
      Fabio Aru Astana Pro Team 14
      Johan Esteban Chaves ORICA-Scott 12
      Peter Sagan Bora - Hansgrohe 22
      Philippe Gilbert Quick-Step Floors 8
      Marcus Burghardt Bora - Hansgrohe 4
      Scott Thwaites Dimension Data 4
      Arnaud Démare FDJ 12
      What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

          Welp, so much for Quintana's premiere mountain chauffeur as Valverde is out. And joke already going around here that Sky and its new white skin suits have mastered "Marginal Rains." Pretty sure no one anywhere believes this ****, save for maybe a couple of clowns like Matthew Syed.

              Me either, I guess it means showers and wet roads. Those skins suits make a difference for sure. I'm just glad my guys are upright still. Sorry Valverde is out though. I like him. I did notice sky had I think three guys the top 10. makes you wonder. or maybe not.
              I didn't see how Cav did.

                Looks like I guessed right with Thomas. Hoping this is parlayed into a yellow jersey for a couple days like Martin a few years back. Hoping, but not optimistic.

                Got lucky with Thomas. Was actually hoping for Martin today. Worked out well. For now.

                  This may refer to the new skinsuits that Team Sky was wearing that they got from the Norweigan ski team that lowered wind resistance by 38% or something like that. Basically an advantage a big $$ team has over the smaller teams. Basically Tony not winning and holding the jersey for a few day probably makes my pick of him worthless unless he darts out in front to gain some seconds in the next week or so.

                  Boy the analysis is bad to listen to Bobke and Christian since Froome gained so much time, the race is almost over.

                    Specialized sells a skin suit. it's about 500 dollars. i guess it's worth it, just not to me..

                      I know it's only one stage but to me Sagan looked a little off today and uncharacteriscally sat up in a misstage sprint and at the end of the stage today too. Hope it's just a one day thing and he rebounds or is saving energy.

                        Yes, it's an obvious play on the mythical "marginal gains" concept Sky has been touting for years. So now the magic unicorn jerseys that supposedly allowed them to match a feat only ever accomplished by the impeccable and upstanding 2009 Astana squad are rightfully being derided as "marginal rains."

                                Ha, the legality of them is a whole 'nother deal. Legal or not, the comedy lies in the fact we're all supposed to believe a few bumps shaved off 30 seconds over 14km. Just more nonsense and lots of people jumped all over it.

                                In brighter news, 500+ point day for me in velogames as, after all, not every sprint stage is a true flat sprint. I'll take it. Now, if I can get my pseudo-sprinters to defy science and climb well, we'll be talking...
