yay that means I won :D.
still miles off the overall but it's still nice to win something.
Its a conspiracy. I'm going to call Lord Leveson immediately...
I gave up on this race last night and decided to make one throw away transfer for a rider doing ok overall. Just looked at team before bed to see how I did not expecting much. Had ISAYCHEV from the start of TDS and because of that I have won the stage today. So folks don't try too hard. I think I may opt for pins stabbed into team sheets for the TDF. Whenever I think about the game I do naff.
sadly you're only second now i've given rojas the proper points
Im just gonna let you stay in front till the TdF Alan, then zoom past (hopefully)
Glad I brought in Rui Costa last night. My break guy Kunzli did nothing. Just building for TT and mountains now, trying to keep ahead of TERatcliffe26 in both overalls. Gained a massive 1 point advantage today.
For the first time in a year watching more football than cycling.
5 points for my team today and managed to go UP 4 places in the purist league
I thought someone had declared today was a rest day for the purists.
Edit: Perhaps "Neutralised stage" would be the proper term.
Good decision on Puccio Wig_Billy. Hoping to come back at you tomorrow...
Rojas missing 7 points?
10 and 14 for me (and 21 and 22 typical). The organisers seem to be speeding up a bit in getting the results out at least.
youve got a good chance of winning this Wig
hoping you do.
I had 14, 15, 18 and thats it
nevermind
3,9,14 for me - I almost got rid of Puccio last night.
Managed to pick some points up from Puccio at least.

yeh gonna be a poor day for me too!! hoepfully sagan/rojas will sprint it out for 8th onwards and at least get me something!
Going to be nothing much for me today. Still had HH, break is 8:25 ahead with 15km to go and I've got nobody in it. Ho hum.
Today i am with:
Peter Sagan (LIQ)
Rui Alberto Faria Da Costa (MOV)
Jakob Fuglsang (RSN)
Thomas Danielson (GRM)
Robert Kiserlovski (AST)
Lars Petter Nordhaug (SKY)
Thibaut Pinot (FDJ)
Jacopo Guarnieri (AST)
Giampaolo Caruso (KAT)
no HH
depending on where danielson finishes i may have only lost 1 point by bringing in haussler, but its a waste of a transfer basically
Good news! About Haussler as I don't have him and others do (normally I'd be sympathetic but I guess thats what being in the top 10 does to a guy). And about the break, as although I don't have anyone in it, there are three other riders that I nearly went for and they're not in it either. And I don't think any of the seven are particularly popular choices. And Liquigas have Oss in the break, so that should save Moser's legs a bit, he's been doing a bit too much work over the last couple of days for my liking...
I'm sure it'll all go horribly wrong by the finish tho...
rubbish! i bought haussler in, fail!
