Did anyone just see that?
The farnesi vini guy had a problem with his bike, jumped off, a guy in just boxers and trainers was holding it while the team got him another bike. A spectator pushed him up to speed while the team jumped back in the car and left the naked guy holding the bike even after him waving it in the air. Nice souvenir or will someone pick it up??
The little lord of the rings extra Rujano is offski on his own
Keep missing out on this Tour - dropped Kristoff the day before yesterday, and dropped Barta yesterday, having had him in for about a week! Silly me.
Just what i thought. Astana drilling it on the front as Liquigas drop back into the pack.
Some mad descending going on. Cunego and Rujano still off the front chasing the break. But Rujano losing time on Cunego because he can't go downhill for toffee
No time gaps being show, But Amador has exactly 5km ahead of the peleton as they went through the 30km banner just as he went through the 25km one.
Cunego going to be caught as Astana still hammering out the pace on the front. I think Rujano may have been swept up on the descent
No Hesjedal or Pozzovivo in the maglia rosa group???
Oops, 2010, sorry.
It's just that I've only recently returned from the future.
Let me tell you what happens in this year's Giro.
It transpired that Thor had actually been cycling really slowly behind the race caravan, sneaking into the roadside bushes for sleeps and nuts to keep him going. He actually finished seventeenth on the GC, cycling through the night to gain bonus time at the intermediate sprints.
Mark cavendish launched an attack on stage 19 on one of the descents, soling to the finish like never before.
Both Frank Schlecks arms fell of, but he still managed to finish.
Mehdi Sonrabi returned from Limbo to win three stages on the bounce.
Androni finished top of the team classification, by way of Rujano finishing First, Second, Third and Fourth.
So yeah, I basically got a little confused.
And oh yeah, Heinrich Haussler became the first person ever to win every single stage of the Tour and Vuelta.
Both of them still in there
13.4 to go and Amador has 7.15 of a gap, Looking like a break win today
De Marchi looking stronger than Amador which is good for me having two Androni riders in my team
But 11km with 6,39 gap, big enough? Hmmmm
5km 3.25 gap to De Marchi, Amador and Barta
Might just about make it to the finish
Sat in a bowling alley, any idea who's in the main peloton? All the main guys still there?
Rujano having another punt off the front......Come on you ugly little man
But FAIL, he's going no where
Going on your team drheaton
Rodriguez ✔
Hesjedal ✔
Rujano ✔
Henao ✓
Pozzovivo ✔
Tiralongo ✔
Caruso ✓
Rubiano ✓
Golas
I think the smaller ticks "might be"
3km 1.34 of a gap and Hesjedal is going for it
Its going to be a nice day for my points if they can reel in the 3 break away guys because there are only around 30 riders in the pack left and most of my guys are still there
J-Rod going to catch Hesjedal, Tiralongo, Scarponi, Pozzovivo and Kreuziger trying to keep with and there are two sky riders in there
Heano and Uran
SH*T i just noticed i didn't put Hesjedal back in, Come on De Marchi
Kreuziger dropped? Sounds like 4th for Hesjedal
1 Andrey Amador Bakkazakova (CRc) Movistar Team
2 Jan Barta (Cze) Team NetApp
3 Alessandro De Marchi (Ita) Androni Giocattoli
4 Ryder Hesjedal (Can) Garmin - Barracuda
5 Paolo Tiralongo (Ita) Astana Pro Team
GC now looks like this
Hesjedal
J-Rod +9
Tiralongo +41
Casar +1.05
Basso +1.06
Kreuziger +1.07
Intxausti +1.07
Uran +1.19
Scarponi +1.20
Pozzovivo +1.21
Henao +1.39
Cataldo +1.42
Pardilla +2.06
De Gendt +2.14
Schleck +2.20
Cav might be timed out today aswell
God damn
Amador
Barta
De Marchi
Hesjedel (now in pink)

De Gendt
Scarponi
Gadret
Schleck
Pozzovivo

4th, 5th, 7th, 12th, 16th for me. Surprised by Hesjedal, disappointed with Kreuziger.
I didnt do so well again argh
I didnt do so well again argh
Damn! Why did Rujano attack early when he can't descend. If he'd waited till the last 2/3k he could have done it as he obviously had some good legs, just no brain
Surprised by Hesjedal a bit as well, but the flatter climbs suit him better. Not sure if I'll change my team though. Might wait and see if Rujano tries again tomorrow as he obviously wants a stage win and he could do it if he uses his grey matter a bit. Might switch Scarponi for Purito tomorrow as it suits him better though. Glad I didn't put in Kreuzinger for Basso though, but De Gendt did well. Maybe going for the GC after all as he can TT very well. He's not out of it yet.
Going to lose ground today.
1 AMADOR
2 BARTA

20 CATALDO
For me 5,7,12,15,16,20 +5 for winning team
Rujano got 24th Was going to take Moreno over him, but only lost 4 points by not doing that
Cav in at 32.04 down, Inside the time limit??
Last man home might be good for someone
GUARDINI at 35.59 all on his ownsome
The Cav bus had 80 riders in it!
180 riders home
Sky have all 9 riders still in race
Have mountain points accidently been awarded for todays finish? I've got 5 more points than I was expecting.
130 points but only 253rd on the stage, must've been some pretty high scores today. Thankfully not fallen back in the overall but running out of stages to make up that 130 points. I think today might've been the day to do it with Amador and Barta, shame I went defensive with my choices.
