No rider is safe to sit in the bunch if they are looking for yellow. Today's stage underscored the urgency and nervousness the GC riders go though. Team Sky capitalizes on every mistake. Fabio Aru looks like a one man team. If the "team" aspect of this sport is confusing for you, take a look at the last 20-30k from stage 14. Froome has riders to help him to the front and Aru looks like toast trying to find a welcoming wheel to sit on.
The sprint was something new too! The extra long celebration from a rider with the nick-name of "Bling" wasn't too surprising.
Slow day on the fantasy circuit, but we have a new name to the podium. Santa Barbara Sandbaggers managed by Alex Kurt have been close a couple of times, but finally made that last step up to third on a stage. Mr. Kurt also gets the community outreach award for bringing the most friends to the party! To my knowledge Ian Hill, Jared Smith and Lee Cox have all come to the league via Alex. I can only imagine the water cooler talk in their office. I am jealous (seriously).
Results below:
Stage 14 Podium
