Stage 8 La Vuelta

i would leave mollema in for today he might have a good showing , and i would put either marzio bruzeghin in or frederik kessiokoff because i think they might do something today.

NOW, do i take in macaroni for mollema? and who will i put in as my DS cause i think Bakelandts would have done something today if he had the legs, but no show and i dont think he's going to be around tomorrow, i know my TT guys so dont need to work the team for them

J-rod out Wiggo in and Dan Martin for either Tony or Cancellara

OOOOOOOOOOOPFFFF! Joint 4th in the stage! New PB

1/3/12/13/15 for me. No idea of what that translates to n points.

As for the underpants, they are indeed for underneath work clothes for commuting, just bough a pait at the H shop, bliss..

You know what my wife just said when I showed her my shorts?
"What the lord has forgotten you fill with cotton." No tea for her then.

136 points for me today i think :D!!!

Crap, i only just noticed Scarponi was in the climbers and not leaders, lol, hmmm i wonder what my change will be after the ITT

First Vuelta score over 100 for me.

Sod it! That was such a good result I'm going to break with tradition and publish my team...

Sutton
Scarpa

I'm calling this a good day for me, a winner again with the points and leaders jersey aswell

Got a whole heap of riders up there too

Cycling underpants?? Personally depending on the kit i'm wearing i go commando or a pair of lyrca shorts with a bit of padding

I think no-one is talking about Sivtsov because he's not been showing himself at all, never up the front and not getting a mention on the TV

I do hope its J-rod then Moreno 1-2 cause i have them both and will be joint top, lol

JRod for me, if Moreno chips up fine. Why is nobody talking about Sivstov? But I personally think Moncoutie, because he was gutted he didn't win stage 4.

PS are cycling underpants any good?

well how would i go about setting up a stream? I have that Sky Go thing now, so could stream Eurosport for you all if i knew how

Dan martin is a good call, but i think J-Rod for today with Moreno not far behind, then a bunch of other GC like Nibali, Nieve, Sivtsov (if he's up for it) Wiggo, Fuggleysang and Van Den Broeck

I hope Van Den Broeck, not cause i have him in my team, but if he wins i'll win a team kit from Evans thanks to their facebook page comp

ITV4 is crap, they don't know the difference between Dan and Tony martin. "It's a pity that Wiggins missed Grenoble, but Dan martin is here, so the showdown could be here" Crap commentory and too many adverts.

Dan Martin to win today......

I think Rodriguez sore hand might mean he takes a rest today . . . . and mollemas somersault might slow him down, so i predict Kessiakof to win today.

42 Edet (FRA, COF), Abandoned
153 Freire (ESP, RAB), Abandoned

Oh well, another couple of guys out

191 Farrar (USA, GRM), Abandoned

A few more trying to get into the break

Hmmmmmm cause its you i'll let you off, had a sleep in this morning

Golas didn't start this morning and there is a break with 1.25 up the road

193 Haussler (AUS, GRM) +41:14
18 Montaguti (ITA, ALM) +56:30
