TdF Stage 5
Right, i'm just in the door, been out on the bike n got caught in a thunder storm, so took shelter for a while
What happened to Brajkovic? i just saw him being put into an ambulance, saw Contador crash, seems like a bad day

I'm keeping EBH, I'll get GC points for him, and I'm hoping he'll be near the front at the end.
But then that's what I hoped for today...
thats no consolation, he is out and gilbert back in for 2moz
He'd have won it if the stage had been 500m shorter
There was a moment when I was regretting swapping Voeckler for Millar.
Good stage to watch I thought, I get in at 3.30 and it's the first weekday one that I haven't fast-forwarded through vast chunks on Sky+.
Gkam, Boonen lost his intermediate points too
Woohoo, joint 13th. :0)
Balls, I swapped Gilbert for EBH..
Same
Damn, I lose points for Rojas and Boonen
*Shakes fist at race jury*
Rojas got declassified from the intermediate, game being updated in case anyone's wondering why they can't see it
Nice, because of that it moved me up 10 places, lol
Any word on Boonen's move on Cav
Right... thanks for that.
11th on stage (10), second overall (9), third in points (3) first in KoM (5)
Finished 11th, got good GC, Points and KM, dont know if he got in the points in the inter sprint? but it does seem high cause Gilbert only got 28
How did Cuddles score 27 points? Am I missing summat?
I swapped out Gilbert for Feillu too, really bad decision
Time to start swapping riders out for the mountains yet?
Phil Liggett and some other fella.. I forget. As well as the commentary, we are treated to the sagely words of Chris Boardman delivered via his programme sandwiching adverts. Apparently "Racing is not an activity - it's a mindset".
I'm going to try this next week and see if I can think my way round the cx course rather than pedal.
good stage that. I particularly enjoy the info nuggets from the itv commentary team, as well as the usual chateau-facts we also got cow-facts, oyster-facts and migratory-bird-facts. Something for everyone there.
I think i should maybe start watching them, but i dont like the team, is it still them who used to do the channel 4 coverage years again? Phil Harmason or something like that
Boonen looked in a bad way. Christophe Kern abandoned as well as Brajkovic.
That was one hell of a finish.
I was going to get rid of gilbert but couldn't make it work. Ah well
Ditto. All's well that ends well, eh?
Why did I get rid of Gilbert?
Tell me you replaced him with Boonen
No, Feillu :(. At least he picked up a few points at the intermediate sprint.
So did I! At least I've got the points to get him back in or do I go now for Cadel, which was my plan.
So 2nd, 10th, 12th for me today, i switched out Tony Martin for Millar, so quite happy he stayed outta trouble, but with Cav winning its only an extra 2 points
Gilbert got a bucket load today with his points
Its still showing Jerome in last which is good, Boonen came home 13 mins down, but i think he's done some major damage and will not be in tomorrow

Ah ha, they fooled me, Martin leading Goss, Goss sits up and i thought HTC had fecked it again, looks like a sneaky "you follow our dummy train" and Cav comes through and wins
At least 3 quickstep down, Boonen may be out
