Guess who got some points today. Andy Schleck scored a whole 3 points, he's clearly on the road to recovery...

On another note, my day didn't go well, my punt on sprinters didn't go well and left me well behind, I should have played it safe and stuck the climbers. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

Yes. I noticed that. Intermediate sprint! Did think about him for purist, but got one other cheap rider who's not even in the race now.

Which sprinters did you take a punt on? There are only two in the race Gerrans and Impey. That would've worked well.

Ratto was one I picked, plus Impey, Gilbert and Geschke. Also picked Albasini over Gerrans.

Just to double check- are there no young rider points for this one?

No, I'm not aware of a young rider competition.

Also, there are officially two sprint jerseys, one for intermediate sprints and one for finishing positions. Only the intermediate sprint standings are being scored as this is consistent with previous runnings and also the Volta Catalunya.
