tirreno adriatico Stage 7 ITT

I am now.

Well i'm glad that whole sorry mess is over. A litany of mistakes of backing the wrong horse. Outside the top 500:

Nooooooo...snatched defeat from the jaws of victory

Top of the fs was tight 13 points between the top 3 ....a late surge sees me finish 22nd overall and 3rd on fs .....a vast improvement over last year(edit) 625 and 54 respectively

5th in Overall and 4th in Purist

strong tirreno. But that's a lot of points for no socks!

Damn, 6th overall for T-A. Was hoping for a prize!

Yay, my first fs win! Thought i'd blown it picking kwia for sunday. And a podium badge today for good measure.

Think I made 103 after my pens ....possibly hit a podium spot on fs

My bad, the list hadn't finished updating.

96th? Are you sure that is last?

LAST

96 Maxim IGLINSKY KAZ AST 33 +1:32

1,2,3,4 plus a few points for Contador and Arredondo. Might be enough to nick the Forum Scorum's, but either way its been a big improvement on the first few races of the season!

Who came last?

Gilbert and Sagan to come soon, wouldn't put it past one of them to put in a good ride...

...or maybe not.

Last I've seen on Twitter...
1 Malori 10:13
2 Cancellara +6
3 Wiggins +11
4 Martin +15
5 Dumoulin +19

20 pens for me, sitting just 12 points off the lead in Forum Scorum's Tirreno. Currently have the top 4, with Alberto to come, and the person above me doesn't have Malori. Must be half a chance!

Malori
Cancellara
Wiggo
Martin
Contador
Sbaragli
Tekley...
Arredondo
Goos
