Yeah i did see they didn't start, which i think was wrong, the stage was basically void so they should have been let back in, Although its still a good race to win overall, i don't think its that good because most of the top names have gone
It looks like Albasini is gonna win it overall now....however would he had won it had the two Hors catagory climbs had been included yesterday is a different matter
i have uran & monocutie aswell
3rd and 13th! Not bad considering I've only got 4 riders left!
10th is okay. but 21st and 22nd on the day sucks.
Down to 5 riders I think.
1st, 3rd, 6th, 15th on the day, even still have 6, yes 6 riders left in my team including a "sprinter"
points will be up in an hour or so
Right scores for the stage. Great score by Nickobec today

Based on what Nickobec said before quite a few have Gavazzi for any sprint....Im hoping Roberts can do his business in any sprint for me!
Really?? as im surprised the SKY guys didnt based on there responses. I just think you want Montana Carrot to increase his lead

So it was Montana Carrot with the water bottle
If you have no heard Valverde has withdrawn after crashing yesterday, after hitting a drink bottle just after the feed station. He did finish the stage, but only just.
Javier Moreno also from Moviestar is also out Gastro.
http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/valverde-out-of-volta-a-catalunya-following-second-stage-crash
Ah now i'm down to 2 star riders, lost Taaramae before the stage started and now Valverde!
Well thats good for todays stage
I just caught the start of highlights for yesterday's stage
ALL the riders that DNF got the chance to jump back into the race, 3 riders did take it up TeeJ VG, Delaplace and Kluge
Well I need a Sanchez factor to grab the lead from Wig_Billy. Either LuLu to escape for the win today, unlikely as it is the "sprint" stage and the "sprinters" will want to pull any escapees back.
Or Sammy to escape on the final descent tomorrow to win the stage and 2nd place in GC, far more likely. But still need Cunego and Martin to finish outside top 20 or well behind LuLu. It would be helpful if Cunego and especially Martin finished well back in the group today.
Otherwise no change in the order between us, as we both have Uran, Szmyd &Gavazzi
The only other difference I have Feillu (who has been scoring me points in place of LuLu) and Wig_Billy who has Quintana (who has scored as many points at LuLu)
What ITT? or are you predicting for a different race

has these results
HHmm, their site says . . .
Team Sky line-up:
151 Bradley Wiggins
152 Michael Rogers
153 Danny Pate
154 Richie Porte
155 Davide Appollonio
156 Kanstantsin Siutsou
157 Rigoberto Urán
158 Xabier Zandio
Are Rogers and Pate doubts? Surely they'd sub someone else in like Henao
