    So kind of lumpy day today, but plenty of miles to bring it back for another Episode of the Sagan Show?
    Can he climb………. will any of the favorites attack or stick together and save themselves for the ITT?

    Don’t reckon he will finish in the top ten. So he’s gone from my team. Used my 4 transfers for B-)

    Anyone else as gobsmacked as
    Anyone else as gobsmacked as I am that, in the land where they basically invented the internet *California*, the AMGEN website can be so utterly shite at producing stage results? I mean, WTF are they thinking?

    I have checked their website in the morning, hours after the end of the race, and they still haven’t put the results for that stage up. I’m sorry, but that is utter incompetence. I have had to look at and rely on wikipedia to get an idea of what has happened in the Top 10.

    I will say one thing. I think the UK, and Europe, has embraced the internet as a source of information more than than the USA. Giro, TdF and Vuelta results go up quicker. FFS!

    Sagan, Haussler, Matthews,
    Sagan, Haussler, Matthews, Boonen, Kluge (then i know Howard was 9th, Mondory 10th)

    Another less than impressive day

    The big question is, is it a risk to drop sagan tomorrow?

    Am I right in saying the
    Am I right in saying the category of the climb doesn’t affect the number of mountain points scored? Therefore as 5 riders score points, you still get 5 for first in a cat 1 and cat 4?

    Cyclingnews says that Talansky has abandoned. That is unfortunate if it’s true.

    EDIT: They corrected that it was Nocentini who abandoned. OK, I’m much better with that 🙂

    Apparently climbing in 90
    Apparently climbing in 90 degree heat is hard. 5 riders have abandoned and we’re not 50 miles in.
