Paris Nice Stage 3
So who we all thinking will be first home today?
I'm hoping for something better than my last two days, but as with anything in this race, its so hard to pick on because everything changes with the wind direction and the weather, they are even talking about snow redirecting the route this week

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

91 points. Pleased with that
.
1st and 3rd but nothing else, hmmm is that good or bad? at least meersman came good for me and at least my transfer of valverde for kittel last night was justified.
so what that gives me is i dont know 80ish points?
Jaroslaw Marycz was your last man home today
Vladimir Isaichev jumped off and i think there are a couple more who will pull out tonight, so hold off on transfers, a couple of nasty crashes today which could claim a couple of riders that limped home
Just checked the last home for the previous stages, i'd had 2nd last home in the ITT and 2nd last home yesterday, my riders are extracting the urine, at least GET last for me
Ive already made my transfers.....they all made it home as did the rest of my team
Im baffled by tactics in this race....Boonen is talking up his Milan-San Remo ambitions...well surely today was a tester for that....Oh well at least Wiggo is looking good for the overall..... And Taaramae is doing my head in....
OMFG!!!! 35 points... I think that's my lowest score EVER. Mind you if I hadn't put Teejay in (my risk free boring switch) I'd have scored 14 points! I've made 2 more safe type changes for tomorrow. Finally got rid of Phinney - what a total disappointment and changed him for a much cheaper DS who ought to start scoring from here on in. Next few stages should be a bit more predictable although might get a break staying away soon!
Swings and roundabouts Squiggly, I'm back above you in the regional
I'm not making any changes today, i think my guys are good for tomorrow again
75 for me today, which is actually quite decent (on a personal level, that is)
116 pts today wa-hey ! Even a blind hog finds corn now and again eh.
Oh sod it. That did not paan out well at all. Transfers all done and dusted. Here's hoping I do better in the mountains.
31.....make sure there are some sandwiches left when I arrive.
Shocking day today
23 points, dropped 282 places in the Paris Nice comp from 51st to 333rd! Haussler and Hushovd just didn't perform and I really don't know what to do next.
@ drheaton - 28 points, so just ahead of you... good job I made that transfer that got me the extra 5 points... made all the difference
up 769 places today!
Decent score. I only got 37. Thinking of Valverde for 4 and 5 but he does have a lot of time to catch up. Hoping for better from my DSs tomorrow. Still 2 above you in overall but that might change tomorrow.
You beat me by 1 point so its better than i did. That is my lowest score ever, not to bothered as my transfers were for later in the week.
Taaramae either isn't bothered, doesn't have the legs or is planning a big day soon.
124. TAARAMAE Rein 51 COFIDIS LE CREDIT EN LIGNE 4h 39' 59" + 03' 40"
Whats he playing at, if he's going to drop right down, he might aswell come in last and give me 10 points, still waiting for the last guy home 142/173 - any who jumped off
68 for me, my best of the Paris Nice, will catch you all later
i think boonen realies he wont win overall when it starts going uphill. but montfort needs a domestique to help him, and Andy S has pulled out. ##shame
4th 8th 12th 20th +5 for win bonus, then 2nd in points and 1st 8th in GC
Better day, still not good enough
I wont be catching anything on Teej and Boonen, Because Boonen is still up there in the points and Teej did not get dropped, so he'll be a high scorer being in the top places of everything
