TDU Stage 5
Good morning..
We have a break of 7 today
Jens Mouris
Klaas Lodewyck
Manuele Boaro
Thomas De Gendt
Tomasz Marczynski
Koen De Kort
Calvin Watson
The first sprint went to De Gendt ahead of Boaro and Mouris.
Thankfully I took in De Gendt overnight as I knew he could cope with Old Wullunga hill, didn't expect him in the break though.

Just made my transfers for the final stage and my one question is - how the hell did Tyler Farrar end up in my team yesterday? I certainly didn't pick him
@Gkam
Glad the ticker-tapes working faster than those carrier pigeons last year
You're doing a grand job
Thanks folks. It is only up so early cause I don't sleep much at the best of times.
What I will say, just because the scores are up when you all roll out of bed, doesn't mean it was any quicker than last year.
It still takes a few hours from stage finish to me updating them.
So don't expect me to be the same with Qatar. It will be a couple of hours and because its a bit closer, you will all be awake moaning that I haven't done them yet
Dammit Gkam, stop setting the bar so high!
yeah your doing well gkam!
every morning i have woken up and the scores are up, vast improvement on last year.
no offense to the people of last year lol.
Gkam your doing an excellent job with uploading the scores. Thanks v much
I'll second that
Im annoyed i dropped Gerrans for Gilbert last night, but my best score yet of 137
Argh! I had EIGHT scoring riders... Balls.
I did get KoM badge though and even with 30 penalty points managed my 'High Stage Score' badge too with 183 points, just damn annoyed I missed out on the Full House badge by one rider.
Also had two of the top three AGAIN
Gained my fourth badge(KOM for Gerrans in purist)and up in to 240th place overall afetr a shocking start.
Bought in Guardini and Fenn for Kerby and Hansen for the last stage burn up:
Greipel
Guardini
DeMare
Fenn
Moreno
Thomas
Pietropolli
Slagter
Hermans
Just uploading scores now.....
I'm up now, might aswell just stay up, make a day of it and early beds to catch tomorrows stage
Im with you ter
Anyway back to bed now for a bit!
Gerrans
Slagter
Moreno
J Izagirre
Machado
Kelderman
G Izagirre
Valls
Pietropolli
Kelderman
I didn't put in either carrots today because I want to shoot them, they come out all guns blazing this tour, but did my teams nothing last year.
Time for a coffee, then onto the scores
Not too good for me... I even picked the wrong brother in orange....
My Purist team is loving the 2nd place rider
Well I took gerrrans out last night for gilbert....Fail! at least he is in my purist team
I was on a bit of a delay......
whats with the lets just watch the leader when they could watch the rest off the riders
Slagter has got this race
Gerrans wins
Here we go, hit the bottom of the climb 3.5km to go and its anyone's stage
Or not
I think those riders may stay away
1st KOM at Old Willunga Hill: Eros Capecchi, Jose Herrada, Guillaume Bonnafond, Jurgen Roelandts, Andrey Kashechkin, Andrey Amador
THAT will be the only scoring KoM today because its classed as a summit finish
I'm awake, been here from the start. De Gendt was my pick.
Im awake now Gkam, to see the finish, I couldnt have stayed u for all the coverage.
Break has pretty much been caught now
I guess no-one else is awake, I should really create another account and talk to myself
35km to go and the gap comes under a minute
Blanco really pushing hard on the front to reel them in. De Gendt trying to stay away in the break, but no-one else seems to have the pace, he wants to hit the climb with a gap, so that he can stay with the peloton
Through the second sprint and the gap is down to 1.49
Result of the 2nd Jayco Sprint at Snapper Point.
Tomasz Marczynski
Calvin Watson
Koen De Kort
Time gap now 2:22. Peloton averaged 56.4kmh between km 86 and km 91
Now the peloton have backed it off a little to not reel the break in to quick
