Can i get a clarification? My picks for the VSP get 9 (3 placed wherever) But my pick for Giro stage 10 – got 7 Were these independently added and the total on here just the score for the overall. Anyone…..? »

@the Engine I hope you were wearing Assos F1.UnoS5 shorts then, as your chamois memory is brilliant. (memory foam?) Shoes are Bont A1 if you were wondering! »
I would assume that my display of leaning- and incidental hanger of damp cycling kit- would not be approved? in my defence it is a cramped NHS office and safer than anywhere else, no changing facilities either! Ah the joys of public service »

No room for Gilbert- bit of a risk! Not that he can’t, its just poor support from BMC team i think VSP PICKS: 1. J-rod 2. Henao 3. Valverde 4. Nibali 5. Dan Martin »

Random win generator picks these. I sense a further slide down the VSP VSP PICKS: 1. Porte 2. Valverde 3. Sagan 4. Gilbert 5. Dan Martin »

Not sure about this one. VSP picks are getting so tight now, I’m conscious of needing to pull out a big win (like Gilbert) otherwise i’ll slide further into the also-rans. With everyone picking nearly the same riders it’s hard to gain points, my last tact… »

@Dr C Agreed, if Stannard has any company he’ll be out sprinted. He rode so well in MSR that I think given the right luck he could be well placed on the run into the velodrome. It’s have to be a Faboo, power TT effort to get there first though. Here’s… »
Got to have a sneaky thought that one of teh Sky boys might come good this year. To be fair though, unless he’s been playing a particularly clever long game Eddy the Boss doesn’t seem to be where he was two years ago, so i’d have to back either Thomas or … »

32k to go and Sagan in group still away from the Peloton by 1.28 The gap is getting bigger too. So unless the peloton turn on the power soon, it could be all over bar the shouting »

And I really wanted to include Geraint Thomas, who I think will be the leading Sky rider, he may just sneak top 5 »
Too many good riders, too many options; I think Andy Schleck has made a mistake missing this one ;-) an early solo attempt could have won it! in lieu of him, 5 wild guesses VSP PICKS: 1. Faboo 2. Thor 3. Nibali 4. Sagan 5. Goss »
Frank, Once again i’m confused. Did you attribute 2 points on the VSP here as I had Rui Costa in 2nd place. One reading of the table says yes, one say no. as i’m now sliding down the table (or back into the peloton after being dropped by the breakaway),… »
Give these a blast, I need some big points to drag myself up the table VSP PICKS: 1. Van Garderen 2. Rui Costa 3. Hesjedal 4. Dan Martin 5. Spilak »
