Sorry mate, my fault, i scored 145 but i had a 10 point penalty so ended up with 135 and came 222nd on the stage. I had worked my score out myself without looking at the results and forgot i had the 10 pointer.
I've had an extra portion of humble pie
It was really good stuff from Swift - there were a couple of attacks, and Movistar were driving a pretty hard pace from quite a long way out (40-50km). Lots of decent climbers didn't manage to hang in there, but Swift did. So no unusual explanation, we just have to assume that he's got really good legs at the moment (3rd in San Remo remember) and is maybe better uphill than a lot of us thought. I could imagine him hanging in there in a larger group, but to be one of a group of just 20 surprised me too. Excellent to see.
