Stage 6 TdS

Gkam84, June 16, 2011

Thought i'd start is slightly earlier today rather than just posting the stage results because some people are asking for a thread during the race to discuss things in the stage

I know alot of you out there work, so wont be sitting watching it live, but i dont work just now, so will try and involves others watching it live

Sad news Juan Mauricio Soler from moviestar was in a crash and is in hospital with a fractured skull, so thought go out to him

4km to go and it could be anyone's, green and yellow are still there, 3 rabo and 3 leopard are there aswell

Any news on 11-20 yet? The official TdS stats page isn't linking to Stage 6 yet.

Today was not the stage to drop Mollema for Soler.

Seriously, though, hope he's OK. Head injuries are, as mentioned upthread, particularly scary. Anyone know how the spectator got involved in the incident?

I think the 175 points barrier could be broken today by somebody

posted by thefatcyclist [514 posts] 16th June 2011 - 17:50

3,4,5,6,7,8 & 9 on the stage! plus 5 for an extra Rabobank.

1,2,4,6,7,8 & 9 in GC.

Think Dave's abacus has broken counting up all my points.

posted by thefatcyclist [514 posts] 16th June 2011 - 20:01

Hah no sooner had I posted when they sart to come up.
143 for me my highest ever.

posted by thefatcyclist [514 posts] 16th June 2011 - 20:05

176 top score by ruthclimb... also highest ever i think

posted by Dave Atkinson [6070 posts] 16th June 2011 - 20:08

in other news, my team sucked today

posted by Dave Atkinson [6070 posts] 16th June 2011 - 20:20

Gkam, have a look in the Evans, stop fidgiting around and tow me along.

posted by thefatcyclist [514 posts] 16th June 2011 - 20:21

176 is almost the highest... but I scored 178 on Stage 15 of the Giro when Nieve won.

posted by rcs500 [60 posts] 16th June 2011 - 20:27

152. Also highest ever! Soler had only just come back from injury. Thoughts go out to him.
Following article I read today is relevant

Took me a min to understand what you meant

I have so many words, but ARGH will do

I've done enough work, time for you to lead me out, hurry along

On a bonus note, back in the top 100 and didn't even beat my top score

I'm sure you will jump of the front tomorrow.

Well i've made a couple of transfers and if they come off tomorrow they will be called "inspired"

If they dont, then no loss because the guys i transferred out dont have a hope of scoring

I want to be beating 139 my highest, if not then one day in the season i want to end up top of the pile

posted by Gkam84 [6442 posts] 16th June 2011 - 21:53

Did better today but I seem to be a step behind for this race. I will be even further behind come Saturaday & Sunday as I'm 'incommunicado' with no computer from tomorrow so there will be no inspired transfers after Friday.

My nearest rival in the league can leap frog over me and take the lead

MY wishes go out to Soler, Just as he was back in form!

"I'll be back!"

Are you sure your team is eligible? If you have 3 riders from one team it does funny things.

Yep, Team was fully eligible...will wait til Dave logs onto here this am for an explanation hopefully...

posted by worders [26 posts] 17th June 2011 - 6:10

I'm really pulling for a Lastras breakaway today after the disappointment of losing out on 33 points when I brought in Soler for Mollema. Still, 121 points on a mountain stage with no KM rider isn't too shabby.

I remember that day. Thought my score of 168 was a nailed on winner. Humbug.

posted by Timbo13 [208 posts] 17th June 2011 - 7:50

Well Timbo, that day has to be the best I'll do all season. I feel like my form peaked a bit early there, especially since I'm planning on doing the fall classics. Does that mean I'll have to take a dip in form right as the Tour is about to start? Uhoh...
