Stage 3 - and taking over in the final meters it's ... who?


So Ricky Henderson won the stage today, not surprisingly he was on nobody's team. But the ever-ready-to-pounce SnakesonaChain boys took over the stage and took back the golden fleece from Taylor A.

Stage 2 - A Tale of two Taylors


You say Ciolek and i say ... CHOKE. Ciolek missed my lineup this week as i believe he did back in the Tour de France. I'm sure he'll drop out on stage 8. Anyway, two Taylors (the djw and the sister-in-law-by-another-mother varieties) fought out the stage but then Taylor A and her Chausseus d'Oro dislodged the SnakesonaChain from atop the GC. From the profiles, this is looking like it could be a real topsy-turvy week. Stay tuned.

Stage 1 - Spartacus rules in de nederdans


Watching Fabian crush everybody yesterday on what looked like a car race track was well about as exciting as watching a bike race on a car race track but i was happy to see him win.
One thing i love about fantasy cycling is how things never turn out the way you expect them to. One look at the teams yesterday and i figured that Bennati was the pick that would give somebody the win, and more than one team had him, but in the end, the secret ingredient that put Conrad atop the leader board was Valverde! So without further babblage here are the results...
