Am I the only person genuinely surprised to read this? I'd assumed that it would be at night - but 10.30 in the morning???

They don't deserve any payment, but the rebrand was done before Ashley got his stinky hands on it, so they probably did.

There's a book that can help you with that! I can't remember if it covers traffic jams on the Via Appia specifically but I'm sure there are some...

Totally agree - that's a very nice route for walking along by the river when you're not forced onto Crews Hole Rd.

Swift - what a loser! Never picking him again. (He'll win the next one now). Should have gone Viviani. Had Chacon but he only got 12 points. We should have combativity!! Team pretty well set up for tomorrow, but if there are crashes, who knows?
Seems a bit harsh!hope your comment was tongue in cheek.
Ever contested a Grand tour sprint?
swift was on his own.
He is young and will have to learn how to use the other teams like McEwan did. If Sky understandably continue to follow the GC path.
He sat up, the first list had him at 18th, but now 21st
Ben Swift
he was never in contention for the win but he could've hung in there for a top 10, instead he gave up. And as I feared, not brining in Degenkolb was a stupid decision. Bleurgh.
Looks like there might have been 3 retirements today, but they aren't listed yet

I've taken a bit of a risk by ignoring Degenkolb, but I'm not going to make up any ground if I only pick the popular riders.
Similar to you TER, 4 sprinters for today and a few guys who could do something tomorrow. One transfer in hand, could've brought in Davis or someone but decided to save it for later...
