ToB Stage 1
It's blowing a hoolie and hammering down up here. Gonna be a lot of crosswinds. Today's stage could be a total lottery - either that or Cav will win again as expected...
...'spose I should get round to picking my teams then after the kicking I took in the Vuelta.

I'm not sure the scores are right for this stage. According to official results ( http://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/results/stage1/gc.php#.UjbKuFNeyEI ) Wiggo was 5th on GC but he's only got 4 points, not 6. Dunno if anything else is wrong.
They have changed the GC very late after the stage. That's why there are errors.
Wiggins should have got 8 points because he was also 3rd in the third sprint (2 points) and was 5th on GC (6 points).
Haas should have got 11 points because he was second in the third sprint (4 points) and was 4th in GC (7 points).
No combativity, but there is a youth class
My purist will've been substantially more successful than my standard. Ah well.
2,3,12,16,19 + house and haas. Could have been better
Would i be correct that there is no combativity for ToB fantasy game?
GC
1 Elia Viviani Cannondale 6h 4' 33''
2 Alessandro Petacchi Omega Pharma Quick-Step 6h 4' 37'' 0' 4''
3 Gerald Ciolek MTN Qhubeka 6h 4' 39'' 0' 6''
4 Aaron Gate AN Post Chain Reaction 6h 4' 39'' 0' 6''
5 Christophe Laborie Sojasun 6h 4' 39'' 0' 6''

8 Peter Hawkins Team IG Sigma Sport 6h 4' 41'' 0' 8''
9 Sir Bradley Wiggins Sky Procycling 6h 4' 42'' 0' 9''
10 Marco Coledan Bardiani Valvole CSF Inox 6h 4' 43'' 0' 10''
How come Wiggins is 9th on GC?
He picked up a bonus second for the last of the sprints.
Thanks!
de nada
Siempre un gesto bien bonito contestarle a una persona en su lenguaje natal. Eres todo un caballero! Gracias!
Nice touch!
Seems he was 5th actually (although he hasn't got the fantasy points for it).
12th and 14th for both my teams as well, it could have been worse
It seems all my sprinters were there, just caught behind the crash

I would have had 3,4 but as it wasn't modolo, i need another
1,2,3,4 for my std so far
Don't make me feel anymore miserable
If it makes you feel better ter, my vuelta started badly and finished worse I don't think I managed to make fs top 20 which was my aim in all 3 gts this year
Edit
1,2,3, apparently it's wasn't Modolo in 4th
That went very wrong for my team!
Thought I'd picked House, turns out he's just in my purist
