When I saw the route for today's TT I wondered how riders would cope with a flat windy 20kms followed by a steep finishing climb. Theo Bos has tweeted that Lars Boom did a cyclocross style change from his time trial bike to a road bike at the bottom of Mont St. Clair.
Clever tactics and probably what got him the win.
Very glad I had him in my fantasy team.
Lanterne Rouge Badge for Pinotti
5th on the stage
cant complain, had 1st, 2nd, 5th, 9th, 10th and 11th
On the bright side, Pinotti gave me my fifth badge of the day. I don't see myself having another day like that this season
Really pleased with my Purist Team today - 151 points ! 8th best score of the day and top Purist for that stage
41 for my standard team
and 10 of those came from Pinotti. But... 138 for my purists 
Scores are up and Pinotti has been listed as last finisher so gets the Lanterne Rouge award.
2,3,4,5,11,14. Didn't get the badges I was targeting, but I might have fluked Lantern Rouge if Pinotti isn't hors delai.
Well, your penalty point system worked quite well
I meant to put in Monfort but forgot and put in Pinotti instead who ended up with lanterne rouge, the second time I've fluked it !! I'll be glad if the whole race is cancelled as I've been crap at it so far. Could have had 1-4 incl. in the Tour of Qatar if I hadn't taken out Hut last night and got the badge you were looking for. Not my day 
2nd,4th,11th,13th and 18th is not great....I'm bringing in the youngsters Jungels and Goncalves for Pauriol and LeMevel giving Rogers a reprieve for now
Hmmm, 5, 11 & 12 +5 bonus points. A totally rubbish day...

1,2,4,7,8 and 17 for me with Nizzolo and Roelandts to come
Back later after work
Talansky provisional sixth.
Plenty of talent still to come....Roche,Mollema,Kreuziger,Lofqvist even the God of Thunder may put on a show?
Either way he should do better than Boom on the slope of the last 3k?
not sure as its only 3km and Boom is much better than people make out him to be. It will be close
Either way a 1-2 for them is good for me
talansky is either 3 sec behind or 3 ahead at the intermediate split
From Twitter:Marco Pinotti must haved crashed at #TourMed as he is 13 minutes down at the finish
Ouch, that's a poor time, I assume he crashed? Potential for Lanterne Rouge?
Dunno about LR, he's probably HD with that time
Unless my French has deteriorated it appears that Pinotti 'has not crossed the line'.....whether that means start or finish I'm not sure but he was due out just before Ramunas?
PINOTTI Marco BMC 48'30'' He's not going to be happy with that.
48 mins for Pinotti
Roux has gone 2nd, he is in my purist team
Marco Pinotti appears to be MIA. Started at 14:07 (CET) and according to the ticker he hasn't crossed the line yet.
Marco Pinotti (BMC) n'a pas passé la ligne...
Its safe to say he wont lead anyway as Boom started after him
