Tour De Farkin 2023 - Starts Sat 1st July

Sprint finish. They won't let the breakaway stay away because it's probably the only chance the sprinters will get all week.

Pure sprinter tonight or all rounder?

I've went sprinter.

Halfway point and Sleek Buns still in the lead.

I've only kept one sprinter after the rest day (dumped my money man Phillipsen) and invested heavily in the GC dudes.

I'm keeping 2 trades up my sleeve to get rid of poor performers, 1 for a potential dropout and 1 to put Phillipsen back in before Champs.

 

[rockmoose]

My money would be on Mads tonight.

Lucky I've got no skin in the game.

 

[ozzybmx]

Cavendish might be back.

7w/kg is the new 6w/kg. Records that have stood since the darkest, most blatant days of doping are getting annihilated. Nothing suss, move along please.

I kept him, made him cappy-tan and scooped double points

Only 57 points seperate 1st and 2nd now.

It's a 21 stage race, you gotta have a plan.

Thought in my other league with the exact same team, my mate is 1200 pts ahead.

Breakaway lottery for Stage 12, or will the GC riders be involved?

Yes. could be either.

Pick one then go with the other

 

[ForkinGreat]

Pick one then go with the other

Or... whichever one you pick, it's going to be the other. burn those transfers, people!

I think the break will be caught before the top of the last climb. Pog will want the time bonus at the top

I like seeing one of my old Euskaltel Euskadi, Basque riders get a win. Ion has a brother Gorka. Wish my mum had been that inventive.

Cofidis on a blinder this year. The epitome of cheese eating surrender monkeys, now have 2 wins.

The SBS crew noted that the Cofidis DS had done a massive overhaul of the team. Fkd off the dead wood and got some non-surrender monkey riders, one assumes.
