    5 stages of the Forum’s
    5 stages of the Forum’s Scorum’s Dauphine gone and drheaton is still out in front with a 32pt lead over backflipbedlem whose hunger for badges since going premium knows no bounds!! Julie Danson continues her good form and still leads the purist section mirroring the surprise yellow jersey’s for Veilleux and Dennis…….Nata1ia leads the Squeakers(non-premium) showing enrique that once again it’s not all about the banking of transfers in the premium game overpowering standard players(he’s 15th amongst squeakers!!).

    The Forum Scorum’s Overall classification has seen Alan Tullett fall off the planet…..going from 2nd place just before Giro stage 13t to a lowly 11th with many pundits saying his non-entry into the Criterium Du Dauphine is an act of solidarity with AG2R who miss the race thanks to Sylvan Georges positive dope test? Oh yeah…..that teeny weeny speck in the distance id Wig_Billy who has a whopping 912pt lead in standard and 820pt lead in standard.
    nickobec heads the Squeakers(enrique back in the top 10!!)

    2 surprising winners(for me
    2 surprising winners(for me anyway) in Veilleux and Viviani of the first 2 stages have seen quite a low scoring Forum’s Scorum’s Criterium Du Dauphine abd its the Good Doctor(drheaton)who leads the charge from the young neo-pro backflipbedlem.A new name to us FS’ers is Julie Danson and she’s made herself known by leading the purists and having her 2 teams in 3rd and 4th.

    The Forum’s Scorum’s overall has seen Jonas Lorenzen climb into a podium place and drheaton gain 4th spot(both at Alan Tullett’s expense).NeilG83 has climbed 3 spots to 6th whilst I have gone the other way on an inexorable slide out to 9th :&

    Tempted to just have riders whose surnames begin with V today!!

    I’ll be honest I think without the shortened and cancelled stage I may have closed the gap a bit more , as it says above I was almost 200 points behind at 17 it was then I decided the last 4 stages would be gambles ….unfortunately that turned to 3 stages , still c’est la vie đŸ™‚

    I’ll be looking out for you in the tdf đŸ˜‰

    Well said….not even 20weeks of racing under your belt and a Forum’s Scorum’s grand tour podium and 20th on Forum’s Scorum’s Overall GC so far is no mean feat!!

    Jonas Lorenzen finished
    Jonas Lorenzen finished safely in the bunch on stage 21 to win the Forum’s Scorum’s Giro D’Italia……surely this eclipses his Volta A Catalunya win earlier this season.An alarming show of speed by chiv30 saw him fly into second place from being off the podium but the time gap to Jonas was just t-o-o big to make up….TERatcliffe was relegated to the third step(a good performance though).

    northstar took the purist division as expected when it became clear that he was the only one of the contenders with ‘Cav-Power’…..a selection I advised against pre-Giro(Doh!!).

    There was no change in the top 10 Forum’s Scorum’s Overall and the much hoped for ‘Giro-Slump’ never materialised for Wig_Billy who holds commanding leads in both competitions but we shouldn’t feel so bad…….he leads the ENTIRE game by 400 standard and 300 purist!!

    To keep good old enrique happy nickobec holds the lead in the non-premium a.k.a The Forum’s Scorum’s Squeakers League with enrique 1700 points behind in 10th!!!! Still….he insists he knows his cycling?

    Man this league is
    Man this league is strong…….192pts scored on stage 20 and STILL dropped a place in the Giro!!

    Strongest of all and barring disaster Jonas Lorenzen will win the Forum’s Scorum’s Giro D’Italia today….a magnificent performance in such a wet and wild event after taking Pink w-a-a-ay back on stage 8.Meanwhile A Cavendish win would be more than enough to wrap up the purist division for northstar as his nearest competitors don’t have him.

    Alan Tullett moved into the podium spot in the Forum’s Scorum’s Overall rankings previously held by Jonas Lorenzen whose defensive posture in the Giro may be causing him an overall GC problem(unless he was just prepared to suffer a bit in stage 20 for lots of sprinters today?),whilst myself(6th)and stevemarks(8th)swapped places

    Cancellation of todays stage has knackered my purist chances of a top 10. Plus I work for myself and have organised my whole week around being sat infront of the Giro today and tomorrow. X( :”( X( :”(

    1)Jonas has got to be happy
    1)Jonas has got to be happy about today’s cancellation bringing him one step closer to Forum’s Scorum’s Giro honours…..104pts is a hell of a lot to make up in 2 stages unless snd place man JAndrewHill has 2-3 more transfers than him.

    2)Can Wig_Billy hold on to the purist Maglia Rosa with only 6 men(DiLuca his third man down joining Gavazzi and Sir Brad)……sounds like chiv30 has been hit even worse so for me northstar may be in a good position having lost only Battaglin whilst letsgoup have only lost Wiggins but are ‘Cav-Less’.

    3)Will the 5th-9th placed guys in Forum’s Scorum’s Overall get any tighter together(83pts the gap now)or perhaps even bridge the 167pt gap to 2nd-4th group.

    4)Will Wig_Billy fail a doping control?

    Jonas Lorenzen goes into the
    Jonas Lorenzen goes into the uphill ITT and the Forum’s Scorum’s Maglia Rosa is his to lose….it would take more than one successful gamble to catch him and that may well be too much for anyone to get in this most unpredictable grand tour.A compact purist group of 6(Wig_Billy,letsgoup,northstar,NeilG83,chiv30 and drheaton in that order)seperated by just 82pts

    Just 103pts seperate 5th and 9th in the Forum’s Scorum’s overall so I expect some jostling for those minor top 10 GC spots…..it looks like a tough ask for any of those to bridge the gap to the 3 who are fighting for the second and third steps on the podium,if we assume that Wig_Billy(who is doing a simiar job in the purist) is too far up the road in first to get caught.

    Uphill ITT today and those words always get me checking Col D’Eze results…..and today that research is making me regret No Scarponi(although not enough to take a penalty!!).
