The Fantasy Tipping machine is back in business and the results page has now been updated to reflect the results of the ITT in stage 19. Iceman has closed the gap a little on Fatboy but both sit nervously at the top with precious few points scored. Bicyclettes Anciennes proved there is some life in the old frame yet by moving up two spots from fifth to third, while running the tipping mill has done me more good than it did for O’Dirty as I am back up to fourth from seventh. Is it foolish to suggest Two Phat 2 has done her dash, slipping two spots to seventh?

Blinder is the big mover of the day, moving up 14 spots, but who really cares if he’s 30-odd spots from last or 30-odd spots from first? Meanwhile Srampagno keeps a firm grip on the Lanterne Rouge, but needs to keep a careful eye on Sicknote who is still in easy striking distance of the coveted title of last winner.

I will maintain the suspense briefly by taking a rest now and saving an update incorporating the stage 20 results for later today. And then the jerseys…
