Not sure if I can see julian Alaphillipe in the Game roster. Has he withdrawn?

Fingers crossed for some decent coverage today.... I so look forward to this race as I know the area pretty well and the route is pretty bumpy and yet they always struggle with the live pictures... and come on Mr de Gendt, I really fancied you for this one...

Keep it up Ghedebrav - doing great! (I'm sitting fourth so you must be doing it right...)

No idea what to expect today, I initially had it as a possible sprint, as Mezgec won there last year, but on further examination the climb near the end is a different one and much longer/tougher. So kept Rojas just in case, but the rest is climbers....

After winning yesterdays stage, just 1 change for me, Kelderman for Coquard, and hoping JJ and maybe Simon can make the finish, and Pat goes for Mountain points

You're in fine form, TER! Chris is sitting pretty, Franchetti is still at the top, Twy is up there, too! Bunch of familiar names at the top of this one! This going to quite a shootout! Even SSPRO isn't that far off!

Think the info we had when the comp was opened suggested there wasn't a jersey, therefore adding one in once the comp has started would be unfair

You might like the collection of all the race posters they have for all the editions of the Volta at the bottom of the page at http://www.voltacatalunya.cat/es/historia/ ("Los Carteles de al Volta"). How come you know the area so well?...

Thanks, TER... I've written the Volta organizers to complain about their lack of clarity and the need for a site with results in English... Oddly enough, last year dr thought there was no Sprint jersey or Youth jersey either for this race and that classification wasn't included in the game... Oh well... Thanks anyways...

The organizers returned my email last night and said, it's true, the Youth jersey was a new addition to the race this year...

I can't access the Stage 1 results, the site is just showing cumulative times for the YR's times up to Stage 2, but looking at PCS I can't believe but that they got it right...
