Can someone in authority confirm if we get points for the final climb. According to a ticker i was watching Navwhatshisname got 9 points and Pirazzi got 3 ?

Does this count in our game ?

Good for me, 3 and 6 plus extras, and 6 free transfers for tomorrow. (will prob use 4). No Kom pts for summit finishes in this game stumps.

33k to go and the gap is 5.45 mins, looks like this one might stay away.

Pirazzi for the stage  4

Nah, Pirazzi is totally focused on the mountains jersey, I reckon he'll have eased off as soon as they crested the first climb.

Are we removing Georges' points scored in the Giro as we did with Frank Schleck in LeTour last season?

Tis' a valid question but he hasn't been booted out, he withdrew ahead of his B sample being tested.

Has he scored any points?

Di Luca and Pirazzi in the break for me, that's good because they're in my standard team but bad because they're in Billy's damn purist team  14

I'm starting to develop an irrational hatred of Rabottini for all the time I've wasted with him in my team. At least he might get 5 points today.

In case you were expecting Uran to take over the leadership from now on I don't think it'll happen just yet, this is a quote from him:

Quote:

"Henao and I are here working for the team. We've already shown that we are men who are willing to work for the team," said Uran, whose contract with Sky expires at the end of the season. "We are not Froome, so we'll just see what happens day by day. We knew our roles from the start of the race."

If i was a betting man i would take you on at that !

I like Nibali but just got this gut feeling he might come a cropper. There are to many riders for different teams who are there or thereabouts for his team and himself to control.

Personally if Wiggins doesn't win, which i dont think he will, i would like to see a Sky lad win followed by Nibs. However my money is on Santambrogio.

I agree that Nibali has far from got this race wrapped up. If Scarponi, Santambrogio, Gesink, Betancur, Pozzovivo & Uran all start attacking in the last week (after Astana have been leading the peloton for a full week) then I think Astana won't be able to handle it and I think someone will make up huge time on Nibali.

I also think Sky will focus days that suit Wiggins more and look to blow Astana apart on those days giving both Wiggins and Uran a chance to capitalise.
