The combination of Nibali, Santambrogio and Battaglin clearly coming out on top at this stage.

There's time yet, plus these points only apply if the riders make it to the finish. If Battaglin fails to finish the race then all of the top guys at the minute will be out of the running.

Well, I guess whoever's got Nibali, and a mix of Viviani, Paolini or Pirazzi must be doing well !  1

Just curious, how has my score decreased since last week? All three of my lads are still riding.

I assume its a function of you having Giacampo Caruso. I threw all the info into a spreadsheet and its quite possible that your most recent score includes Damiano Caruso by accident.

I did it at work so don't have the spreadsheet to hand but I'll check it and update scores in the morning.

Don't worry about it, just saw it and wondered is all, don't go too far out of your way just to satisfy my desire to not quite be last.

Well Modolo and Aru have been flops so far. If Modolo's going to get anything it'll be today - on home turf.

As has Garzelli. It has to be his last Giro at 39yrs and he thought he might have done a bit better to be honest.

Aye, non finishers don't score so that knocks all the top scorers out of the running for now.

3rd now then. All I need is Di Luca to give up and I might win something.

Say what, I'm second?!  43
I certainly didn't expect that! I only hope that my three boys can keep it up!

Not to tempt fate, but what happens if both me and Neil come first, seeing as we have the same team?

Think Dave has said somewhere above it'll be a coin toss/random name pull from a bag if it's a draw.

I thought I saw it somewhere, but neglected to read the whole thread again - I was too shocked by my team's success.

Di Luca is out for a positive EPO test  2
His results should still stand though (I think the rules are like that), so it really is tooth and nail now, what with today's stage cancelled as well!

Surely his points are cancelled. He's out the race. Rider has to make it to the end for points to count.
