    ok more bad choices looking ahead to the 4 transfers, but forgetting the 2 stages that sprinter may win on Tue/Wed So

    Kloden
    Hinault
    Moncoutie
    Gilbert
    Hoogerland
    Fofonov
    jerome
    Popovich
    Thomas

    Not good enough

    My predictions.

    Van garderen takes all the mountain points istead of Hoog. Hushovd holds on to yellow. None of the GC guys bother, Millar, Voekleur, Vino, Hoogerland, Casar, Gerrans get away. I get my lowest points score.

    Or is that just a bit sick….?

    Not sick, just silly

    Why would you put someone in your team you think is going to drop out? :O

    You’ve made your changes already? without waiting to see what happens on the rest day and who might pull out?

    I’M THAT CONFIDENT/ STUPID :D/ 🙁

    If any of my squadra pull out it’ll be because of rest day crashes/ illnesses.

    Now that Thor’s dropped out of the top 10 it frees up a lot of cash for other big hitters. 😉

    Aaarghh no no, not even in jest :”( I just swapped in TV and JH over the last couple of days after Brad fell out of the race.
    Apropos of which, anyone see his post hospital interview? “I feel on top of the world. They gave me some fantastic drugs on there” :jealous:

    I think you might beat me, i’ll get some for evans, hushovd is still 4th in the points, Taaramae in top 20 i think, plus 2nd in white, Jerome 10 points, still last and Mollema 4 for rabo’s win

    Hats off to Hoogerland
    Hats off to Hoogerland though. That he even got up and raced after that shove into the barbed wire fence was jaw dropping. But to still finish well before most sprinters was inspiring.

    Really, really hope he can start on Tuesday, even if for just a day.

    I think we shall be competing for bottom of the pile ranking today.

    Here’s who I had in my team for today:

    Kloden
    Thor
    Uran Uran
    Gilbert
    Chavanel (Got him in for Voeckler y’day!!)
    A Roux
    Galim
    Pate

    Hoogerland and Flecha both got the Combativity prize today. Nice touch by ASO.

    If you were watching on French TV, you’re probably wondering what all the fuss is. They didn’t so much as replay the incident apparently X(

    I see that 622 teams currently have Voeckler…I’m not one of them unfortunately…got that sinking feeling. Can I sue that car driver for robbing me of at least 20 points? At least they couldn’t possibly give the combativity award to anyone but Hoogerland after that!

    Seriously hats of to Hoogie (and the rest) who limped home broken and battered! What a mental day!
