    So who we all got tonight?

    I’m going for a bit of nostalgia today if Sagan has a heart, he’ll let the old man McEwen win in his last ever stage of his last ever race, so brought them both in.

    Peter Sagan (LIQ)
    Robert Gesink (RAB)
    Heinrich Haussler (GRM)
    Robbie Mcewen (GRE)
    Philip Deignan (UHC)
    Christophe Riblon (ALM)
    Juan Pablo Suarez (COL)
    Roger Kluge (ARG)
    Sebastian Salas (OPT)

    Must just watch and stay away from the web now.

    Good call, Any transfers made after around 5pm our time then, but then that takes away from anyone making changes after that time thinking the stage was being run at the time they have been all week and race finishing after the deadline. 😕

    combative is most aggressive, I believe. I really doubt they’d give 10 points to most courageous when that rider has some days just been a political pick more than anything (for example, Leipheimer won it for stage 1 just for racing; and I forget the rider from Radioshack who won it for being a cancer survivor). Worthy reasons for a jersey to be sure, but not worthy I’d say of 10 points 😉

    The race finished before the deadline, It finished around 11.30am their time, which is 18.30 our time

    If this is the case and people have benefited from that, I’ll not be happy. Will wait and see people’s scores before i make any judgements

    But if its the case that people have made changes knowing the race result, I’ll be calling for scores to be nullified as there will be an unfair advantage for people who were unaware of it being run so early

    I’m looking now and the deadline was after the race finished wasn’t it? because the deadline was 19.05 and the race finished aroun 18.30 X( X( X( X( X(

    I haven’t got a clue, as I avoided the web as i expected the Giro highlights to be on eurosport at 9.15, turned on and they wern’t. so i thought oh i will just look on cyclingnews for the result and noticed no live text for the ToC and then saw below Gesink has won the ToC. So was defo finished before 9.30, but how long before i don’t know

    As for your other question, I noticed that, and I haven’t been checking the points as to who got it yesterday, but i believe atapuma scored 48 points, of which only could have been for the stage finish, so guessing he may have got the 10? he was awarded most aggressive rider i think. Also cant remember how many points horner scored and whether he was given 10 as well?

    So it could well be, one, both or none being awarded it

    Also, i want to clear something up thats been bugging me all week with this tour. The scoring, because it will effect me today

    Most combative rider: 10 points awarded to the rider adjuged the most combative by the race commissaries

    But the race give out two awards for this

    “Most Courageous Rider”
    “Most Aggressive Rider”

    So which one is getting the 10 points?

    Is that actually your team, or did you see the result by accident like me?
