Rumours Jonas is using his TT bike. Which seems mental to me.
Maybe he is thinking, screw it, Pog's going to increase his lead either way today?

Not sure if it will make a difference but it says points will be added 48 hours after the relevant game.

Pretty shoddy if someone doesn't get points for a single home game.

Not sure about that.
