At least stage 4 looks like a proper mountain top finish....although knowing my luck with this event Cav'll fly up the mountain and leave His Nibs,Purito,VanDenBroeck,Betancur and Anacona in his wake LOL

If i get another doughnut on this stage I really need to have a rethink on my reading of stage profiles because 7 of my 9 were picked with this stage and stage 6 in mind!!

At least all 9 are still in the race!!

Yh your overall table is wrong, went from 25 behind stevemarks to 60, and he only scored 5 more!

Also I should have 6 points for Weening, and 2 for Diaz for the sprint

probably not, but at least I have Phinney, who will surely close the gap for me in the ITT? and Cav who he doesn't, He does have Gaimon, but I have Arendondo, so that will be 5 more points for me due to Nizzolo's win, which will make him about 10 points better off for the stage maybe. So he is still catchable should Cav do something later in the race for me and Phinney wins the ITT

And we're off!

Here's the profile (below) and a picture of Argentinian podium girls (also below).

There's a break of 6 riders with ahead with a lead of 3:10 over the peloton. The names are: Curuchet, Barrientos, Ramos, Maldonado, Koretsky and Almonacid. Don't think anyone will get any points from the break today.  1
