We're off, final day that Froome can grab the win, expect something special up the cat 1 climbs as he tries to shack off Cobo, today i think he can

http://skysports.html.infostradasports.com/asp/lib/event/tour/index.asp?...

I'm off to sleep, been up most of the night watching the rugby, got my computer showing F1 qualifying, so wont be doing updates on here 4

My team today

Bradley WIGGINS
Manuel QUINZIATO
Juan Jose COBO ACEBO
Maxime MONFORT
Luis Leon SANCHEZ GIL
Christopher FROOME
Benat INTXAUSTI ELORRIAGA
Matteo MONTAGUTI
Daniel MORENO FERNANDEZ

I listened to my own advice, a break shouldn't win today because of the 50km from the top of the final climb to the end, So if Froome can trouble Cobo, he could just get time bonuses aswell

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Got Bennati but not much else. Dropped Moreno for a long-shot but didn't make a lot of difference. Still in top 50 though!

Mollema might just get green because he's going to go for a bonus sprint, BUT should i risk him for Cobo?

I had Barredo in the break, who picked up a few points, but I finished with only one rider in the top 20! However a classification-weighted team got me 70 altogether, which I'm reasonably happy with for a weird day. I believe the Mountains classification is now secure for Moncoutie? but unless J-Rod can outsprint Mollema, Mollema will get green.

Gkam, I noticed Quinziato was a bit crap, Haedo is usually a better bet at that sort of price but got dropped today, I think.

Pack def. 2m12s

Down from 4.10, they need to pull it in sharpish before the final climb and the run for home after the Urkiola at 138km leaving them nearly 50km to go, If Froome can get a couple of guys to help up the final climb and try to shake Cobo, he might just be able to get to the finish line for some time bonus and grab the win

Could beat this

Smallest margin of victory: Eric Caritoux over Alberto Fernández in 1984, 6 seconds

Also, looks like Moncoutie will take his 4th mountains jersey in a row

Ok my mate has just arrived with a FLASK of starbucks white chocolate mocha, dont you just love her 4 i'm 45 miles from my nearest starbucks

Seems i picked the wrong riders from the right teams

151 Barredo (ESP, RAB) +1:28:39
115 Lastras (ESP, MOV) +1:31:20

But there are 26 riders 2 mins clear, i'm not liking Geox's tactic since Cobo got the red, they dont bother chasing breaks or anything, a very lazy team in my eyes the last few stages, they just sit behind Froome and watch, yeah a great plan, but its not really cycling, its just playing follow the want-to-be leader 14
