I think all of us who went for Cancellara have made a HUGE mistake
Porte just beat him EBH faster at 1st check
He was riding to show the lines to the Schlecks who were in the car behind
roy 6th
richie port 1 sec off at intermediate 2
saw this one coming too de gendt fastest at the 1st split, another DS id have liked
Not even Dave Millar's riding well for me!
da costa wont finish in the top 20 either, although malori could scrape a couple of points for me
or the spot prize for 21st
2 mins slower than the dauphine in similar conditions. money on martin.
Dave millar only 14th at intermediate
Jelle Schleck out
Martin Da Costa in
0.1 credits short to get Martin and Miller

koren now 2nd at 54 sec
Current
Canc, malori at 56 sec, Westra at 57 secs

ho Hum
Needed to leave credit for Sunday. My picks were canc, Martin, Westra, thomas, davy millar. Should probably swapped evans for schleck.
Based on expectation, I wanted David Millar, Tony Martin, EBH, Thomas and a few others.
Based on credits, I got Fabian
Is noone expecting anything of David Millar? I think he was last man over line yesterday not far behind Cancellara so he might be relatively fresh.
Yes i am, again i wanted him in my team but couldnt afford as i dont think he will beat TM or FC though
my other AR is voeckler. i couldnt generate enough credits to take him out and get in FC or TM.
All of you guys seem to have loads of credits
i have less than i started with
Today is gonna be a bad day for me
I've kept frank, but only because i didn't have three transfers to play with
Spartacus in of course, and Geraint's back in the squad. Tommy V had to go, sadly. But what a legend.
Right, you've both taken out Frank, who is your other AR??
I've kept frank with the money i swap for FC i can get Cav or Rojas, but will decide that tomorrow after i see the TT times, I dont know how Rojas TT's but is it beyond the realms of top 20? could he get some points, all i know is that 8 years ago he was under 17 tt champion
IN:Fabian CANCELLARA OUT:Frank SCHLECK
IN:Adriano MALORI OUT:Pierre ROLLAND
Brought in Malori purely because I needed some cash for Sunday's transfers and he seemed the best bet in those I could afford.
I agree with Gkam here, believe Spartacus will beat the Panzerwagen tomorrow.
Split about Sunday - should I spend all the money on Cav or spread the bets with Rojas and another rider who'll get a few points.
I took in Cancellara for Voeckler, but has to take Sanatini out and stick my old friend Hans D in
I think FC will win because Martin has been giving in some effort up the mountains where as FC has been in the "container ship" (the bus, but it went to train and even thats to small now)
I think Evans and the Schlecks will be close, between those 3 it will be Evans, Andy, Frank, but Andy keeping a tiny lead
Top 3 tomorrow
FC
Martin
Contador
Evans
Hushovd (if he can be bothered) if not EBH
Transfers
Frank out: Martin In
Vanendert out: Roy In
Based on the CD when cadel wasnt injured id have to back cadel to take yellow unless Schleck rides really well
so im gonna back cadel for top 10 and taaramae for top 20, but a normally bad time trialist to bag a top 10 slot.
Thomas to come close, so top 5 maybe
Also be aware of danielson, i reckon he could end in the top 10 as well
As for the win martin to pip fabian due to experience from the wet dauphine TT, with EBH in 3rd
