Fantasy Tour Stage 16: Contador Crashes, Costa Crushes

That's all the rest days done with then. There'll now be no let up till the race hits Paris. Feeling sprightly after taking it easy for 24 hours were a group of 26 fellas, who had quite the lead by the finish. Strongest/smartest was Rui Costa, who took the stage.

Meanwhile, back with the GC contenders, it all kicked off over the final climb and that dodgy descent into Gap. Contador gave tried to take advantage of the Froome-Dog's questionable descending skills, but ended up falling off a bit and not gaining any time. The Bile Beans had Gallopin in the break, only to be totally let down by him - I knew I should have gone for Kristoff. Mungo did better with his picks and took the best score of the day. While not much has changed in the overall.

Another time trial tomorrow. A Couple of fairly tough climbs and one that comes before a day with two trips up Alpe d'Huez. I hear it might rain, which could make things interesting.
