Not sure, but I think I could've beaten you both today courtesy a certain Mr. Andy Schlek's escapades on Telegraphe & Galibier.
Which means neither of you is overtaking me in the standings today
Cav still in green, Rojas came in along side him a HUGE group 30 sec outside the time limit
F*CK OFF Contador as combat today, cheating sons of bitchs
Wa-wa-wee-wa! That sounded like an amazing stage. The rider who closest resembles what just happened to me is Tommy V!
I have Mr Rolland Gkam so you may not catch me today
I think it'll come down to who your GC is? If the LR stays the same, i think all my bar Mollema will be scoring
Still waiting for TdF website to start listing things, its slow tonight but i guess they are all to excited about Rolland
I dont know what my scores for this game will be, but Halfords today is going to be huge
What a way for a Frenchman to finally win a stage in this year's tour.
Couldn't have been a better stage. Could barely have been a better Frenchman. Chapeau Rolland!
Mr Rat, i love you, stage win, 2nd in sprint points, white jersey, Combat?? gotta be ANDDDDDDDDDDD 10th in GC
Even better only 2/10 teams have him
COME ON ROLLAND, i've been singing your praises throughout the tour, now return the favour
Hmmmm Contador got a minute on Schlecks and Evans with 7km to go, if he could get another one, he's back in there i think
I hope Rolland aswell, but Contador most likely, although Rolland is french
Combativity prize - Rolland or Contador
I hope Rolland
i went for malori rather than costa
bad choice. Also jelle is nowhere 2day and same for uran 
My team just took a HUGE leap back uo there, Rolland is away off the front, 2nd in the sprint points and Voeckler has just made it back to all the big guys
Also, Rabo have at least 4 guys in there, so hoping Mollema is there
Seems like Rolland is gonna earn a few more points for me from the intermediate sprint
Oh well, Evans group caught Contador, Rolland and Jeannesson in there, Voeckler group 1.20 behind, can the catch up?
Sanchez and Contador to work over Schleck up the final climb??
Yeah Jeannesson could have just been a nice one But i also have Rolland and Taaramae for white
, cause Izagirre got the 1st climb points but now is gone
Cav and the rest around 12min back
Movistar has a good tactic, but that was killed off when Contador decided he was off
If he loses points, its going to be a mad stage into Paris, HTC will be putting every rider in the sprint to try and block Rojas
I put Costa in for tomorrow but he's been making hay today. Well, four points' worth of hay at least.
IN:Rein TAARAMAE OUT:Arnold JEANNESSON
IN:Pierre ROLLAND OUT:Andrey AMADOR BAKKAZAKOVA
Could've earned a lot more points with Arnold but will hopefully make up with some from Rolland.
Still don't know if the decision to keep Andy instead of Cadel was good or now
You might have pulled a blinder with Jeannesson, he's in Evans' group at the minute so might be in for a good finish and a move up the white jersey table.
My changes yesterday
IN:Arnold JEANNESSON OUT:Gorka IZAGIRRE INSAUSTI
IN:Bauke MOLLEMA OUT:Rigoberto URAN URAN
I dont think its going to make much difference overall today, Just hope Evans and Frank can get back up near the front
Kept Andy overnight but dropped Riblon for Taaramae
Would have been better off swapping out Frank S for Cancellara or EBH ahead of tomorrow. Oh well, there's always La Vuelta.
Sh*t, i thought Andy would be dead today, so i kept Evans in, now Andy is away with Contador and he now has the polka dots, so thats even more points to him
The rider i took out lastnight went over the climb 1st, so lost even more points to add to my list of riders who spite me, lol
Voeckler is getting paced back up by Pineau, loving that
Evans and Frank back in the main bunch who are going great guns with Liquigas pushing on the front
Holy Jebus, Frank pedalling squares already
The break is 1.30 up the road and then only 4 men, Contador, Andy, Evans and Voeckler with Contador pushing it hard as anything to drop them and get back into the race
And we're attacking already
Contador, Schlecks, Evans all attacking with 92km left at the start of the first climb Voeckler is there aswell
Cav better get his pace up already else he could get timed out again, lose points and Sunday will be a crash fest
No but its a fair point, there were 88 riders who lost 20 points yesterday
I'm miffed already, i decided to make a couple of switchs lastnight after telling myself i should leave it be, but no no and now a guy i took out is away in the break
I feel that everyone who had Cav in their team should lose some points for yesterday, they get points when he does so they should lose some when he does. Of course that's purely because I don't have Cav and have been lagging way behind in the last week but still...
Also just noticed that 88 guys were outside the time yesterday, Cav was in there and lost 20 points to Rojas who made the time, only 15 points between them now, so unless Rojas goes in the break today and gets to the sprint i doubt Cav can lose the Jersey now
