Although mud adds extra weight... On mountain stages I'd recommend not being muddy. Also don't wear clogs.

the two sky riders did well, but it was disappointing for virtually everyone else. Valverde's attach was audacious, but his time loss shows he probably doesn't have it in him any more. Yates hasn't repaid the faith that MS have shown in him, and Caleb Ewan must be pretty pissed. Dumoulain was the ri...

Notice a few people with the new kit on Twitter which appears to lack a sponsor... 6/10 for a sponsor less version

edit: children can't have gambling sponsors I guess.

Worst blue, socks appalling, good font on the names though, mind is a nice touch... 5/10.

who holds a phone at that angle?

Fairly routine win against Sweden... Although hard to escape the thought that the team hasn't really been tested. Croatia looks like it could be decided tactically before they kick a ball...

I don't really buy that either side were trying to finish second. Why would Cahill clear off the line? Why would Januzaj score? Why would Rashford bo...

Can't speak for transfermarkt, but CIES do some pretty good work on this stuff. Having access to confidential information doesn't really come into it... it's all about crunching data, looking at market trends and publicly available basics like contract length. How do they measure up to reality? Dif...
