why not? thats abit rubbish, knock 10 off my score then
Yep, I have same team!
That should win just, but does a combination of Valverde and Contador outscore 7 points from froome in the GC + Cataldo, dont forget cataldo got 10 points for most combative too. Its gonna be tight but we shall see. ( the thing that will save you is the fact the finish line climb points dont count otherwise im certain cataldo would score enough)
forgot you had clarke too, you will win
3,4,5,8,9,16,19
I really think I have 17 aswell with Majka, but they are listing Hernandez
could this team win the day?
Rodriguez
Froome
Swift
De Gendt
Bouhanni
Quintana
Palomares
Talansky
Cataldo

If all that is right, 7 of my guys are home
venga,Allez go on de gendt!!
Someone give De Gendt a push......
Something i've NEVER seen on the road before. In amongst all the names it kept coming up 39x28.....fan's giving the riders advice on gearing??
Cataldo pulling away!?
I hope de gendt gets the win. 5 point bonus would be nice!
Oh shit, I knew I was meant to transfer someone in today.....Quintana
Me too
Well If De Gendt win's he'll be level. But I don't know how they will work it out. Maybe whoever has lost the least time?
Also, Contador distancing Valverde and Quintana, looks like another Contador/Rodrguez showdown for 3rd.
Bad news for all you Froome fans:
Gap under 10 minutes and falling plus:
which hopefully puts and end to Clarke's scoring for today. By the sounds of it the gap is coming down quickly, it could be a close run thing between De Gendt and the likes of Contador/Rodriguez for the stage win if it keeps falling.
I assume it'll go to whoever's got the highest points on the highest cat climb but don't bank on that.
Anyone know what happens if they are level on points?
Slim.
Clarke on 38 after cat 1
De Gendt on 13
with max 25 more if he is over next cat 1(10)and Stage win(15)
I think he can only equal Clarke on 38, and that is only if Clarke doesn't get any more points today.
What's the chance of De Gendt taking the KoM jersey today?
Top of cat 1
De Gendt
Cataldo
Clarke
Weeping
Moncoutie
Hmmmm, My post didn't post......
De Gendt scooping up all the points and the win would do me nicely. Go skipping back up the purist table. But not having any sprinters have left me well out of contention.
My ideal? Valverde and Clarke to both abandon
the purist comp is just too close to call, I need a big day from Contador today.
Make that 13 and a half minutes..
De Gendt for the stage win, Cataldo second and I reckon Moncoutie third (having broken off the front going for the HC KoM points) then the GC contenders.
that'd suit me down to the ground
De Gendt and Cataldo have around 8 minutes now, they could be on for the stage win at this rate!
