Probably? Fingers crossed?
If a team gets sent home with two positive tests it may end up being more a test of avoiding the 'rona than cycling!

Well THAT was a good stage! Not seen the business of cross winds demonstrated so quickly and so sharp. And loooovely scenery.

Endo - you're back in yellow I think. Chapeaux. Bike

EndoplasmicReticulum · 08/09/2020 17:19

Ooh no spoilers - waiting to watch highlights later. Let's hope Christian Prudhomme kept his distance from riders!

I hope it's not a spoiler but... whoop! whoop! Yay!!!

Very happy at today's result Smile

prettybird · 08/09/2020 19:56

I've dropped to 2nd last in Mumsnet Mayhem Hmm

IDontMindMarmite · 08/09/2020 20:02

i'm tumbling down the league

EndoplasmicReticulum · 08/09/2020 22:54

I'm back in yellow despite not having the stage winner on my team, don't know quite how that works, but happy to be in the front away from the road furniture - some nasty crashes.
So if they don't test again until the next rest day we should have another 7 days?

They're going to have to do some more testing I predict, how could one team send someone out feeling so rubbish they need a wind jacket on a warm day? No temperature apparently despite feeling chills. Pfft.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 09/09/2020 22:34

Yes Mr Slant - maybe there's a bug going round?

IDontMindMarmite · 10/09/2020 07:28

Or something Grin

FelicityLemon · 10/09/2020 13:48

I am now down one rider, my apologies for jinxing Davide Formolo

Pan2 · 11/09/2020 23:38

Overall Rank: 704 of 2998 - At M-A, where I've got the Yates Bros picking up a stage and the blue jersey, well done them!
Took eye off the le tour and I've been pipped for 2nd place, I see.

We're into the brutal stuff next week aren't we. It's nicely open.

Has anyone actually seen Calmejane yet? I'm beginning to wonder whether he's there at all.

prettybird · 12/09/2020 16:02

Yes - he's been the disappointment in my team. He was mentioned once as they went through the region he was from (lived?) but he remained invisible Hmm

I also seem to be a jinx on others, like Bardet, of whom I had had high hopes Sad

Well he was....but not for a while. He abandoned on stage 8.
IDontMindMarmite · 14/09/2020 07:30

Well that was a game changing day yesterday. I wonder what is wrong with Bernal?

prettybird · 14/09/2020 07:59

I've lost 2 (or is 3?) of my team Sad And Bernal is seriously underperforming. No wonder I'm now vying for the Lanterne Rouge! Shock

Olinguito · 14/09/2020 13:27

Thank you MrsAvocet - that goes a long way to explain his seeming invisibility Smile

prettybird · 15/09/2020 09:42

I think the lanterne rouge is within my reach Grin

EndoplasmicReticulum · 15/09/2020 11:06

Good news test wise today - no positives so looks like Paris is in reach.

OP posts:
prettybird · 16/09/2020 09:24

So I've achieved the Lanterne Rouge Grin

Pan2 · 16/09/2020 14:09

You're going to have competition. Grin

prettybird · 16/09/2020 20:57

I'm slipping even further behind! Blush

Bernal has abandoned, so my team is further depleted Sad My selections were definitely doomed Wink

MrSlant · 16/09/2020 22:02

WELL! The cheek Grin

FelicityLemon · 17/09/2020 06:05

I have now lost 3 riders, the only one holding me in 4 places from the bottom is Primoz Roglic. Did I mention he used to be a ski jumper ...

IDontMindMarmite · 17/09/2020 07:04

I'm 3 riders down now as well.
