I seem to have lost Sohrabi from my team. I hope I've got points despite this, since he was available prior to the race.
yup, he got subbed out. but you'll still get yr points
Phew! Still drumming your fingers?
I am not sure this is fair - I found out a few days ago that Sohrabi was out of Oman and so removed him from my team. It wasn't *that* last minute a withdrawal. I had Farrar in a few stages ago - can I have some points for him for today please? (I joke).
When i went to bed last night he was still listed as being able to be picked on this site. If whoever replaced him got points i think it's only fair that they get those points for Sohrabi. A lot of us dont have the time to search websites for entry lists and expect this webiste to be correct especially less than 10hrs before kick off.

According to velonation.
I'm loving this site's results http://www.xoo-cycling.ch/en/news/89/2518/
Look at the right hand side for optimism under "extra's"
Quality!
Fair enough.
At the speed they travel getting run off the road with 1200 to go means your out of it. Better luck next time, going to keep him in for tomorrow.
buggar cav stupid guy, would have score better with my team that didnt have him
looks like im gonna use both my changes tomorrow
Has the Iranian withdrawn?
Laughing at all the people who picked the Manx Express.
LOL
Bit of a transfer headache for tomorrow then
Nope, from reports so far, he finished out the back
Looks like his tumble in Qatar was worse than people let on
Cav just tweeted: Yep, not the best of days today. Ran off the road by Alexander Kristoff with 1200m to go. Shit happens. Well done to @AndreGreipel.
So Cav wasn't sprinting?
11Greipel
Galimzyanov
Farrar
Kittel
Sagan
Greipel, Galimzyanov, Farrar, Kittel, Sagan
Thats the top 5, happy with that 1st 2nd and 4th
Plus i think Sohrabi should get 5 bonus for the Greipel win and short notice withdrawl
Greipel wins the first stage.
I'm waiting for complete results...
Tv Coverage is a bit pointless if you ask me
Eurosport 2 Schedule:
Stage 1 highlights: Wednesday, February 15, 12.00-12.30 PM GMT
Stage 2 highlights: Thursday, February 16, 12.00-12.30 PM GMT
Stage 3 highlights: Friday, February 17, 11.00-11.30 AM GMT
Stage 4 highlights: Saturday, February 18, 11.00-11.30 AM GMT
Stage 5 highlights: Sunday, February 19, 10.30-11.00 AM GMT
Stage 6 highlights: Monday, February 20, 11.00-11.30 AM GMT
there was a couple of other last minute changes in there too... sorry folks!
id say stage 4 isnt exactly flat either!
sohrabi's in my team too
Rider list is there
http://www.letour.fr/2012/TOO/RIDERS/us/partants.html
wish i'd checked this sooner!
Cheers Dave, and you was doing such a good job!
Wow Giff, you know its flat until stage 5?
Possibly not a good idea to make a selection in the wee hours with a couple of malts. Either that or sheer genius
Right, this will be me to start off with:
Tyler Farrar (GRM)
Tom Boonen (OPQ)
David Millar (GRM)
Denis Galimzyanov (KAT)
Adam Blythe (BMC)
Gert Steegmans (OPQ)
Jeremy Hunt (SKY)
Aleksandr Kuschynski (KAT)
Pier Paolo De Negri (FAR)
Everything crossed.
Mehdi Sohrabi isn't there, he's off to Malaysia for the Asian championships, nice to let us know yesterday and by the time i heard it was this morning and it was past deadline
Also doesn't help that the "official" site lists NO riders http://www.letour.fr/2012/TOO/RIDERS/us/engages.html
Then there is NO tv coverage in the UK, could be very interesting if we get any scores
