Giro stage 8

1. Pozzovivo
2. Intxausti
3. Rodriguez
4. De Gendt
5. Cataldo
6. Caruso
7. Brambilla
8. Huzarski
9. Rujano
10. Gadret
11. Hesjedal
12. Tiralongo
13. Uran
14. Cunego
15. Scarponi
16. Basso
17. Kreuziger
18. Schleck
19. Henao
20. Pardilla

And why did I get rid of Uran? A disaster of a stage.

Pozzovivo
Inxausti
Rodriguez
De Gendt
Cataldo
Caruso
Brambilla
Huzarski
Guillen
Gadret
Hesjedal
Tiralongo
Uran Uran
Cunego
Scarponi

1, 3, 11 and 13 plus a good few of the top few GC guys, average day I'd say.

Hesjedal keeps the pink by the looks of things, don't know much else.

GC:
1. Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin)
2. Joaquim Rodríguez (Katusha) 9'
3. Paolo Tiralongo (Astana) 15'
4. Roman Kreuziger (Astana) 35'
5. Beñat Intxausti (Movistar) 35'

Then probably:

6. Basso
7. Caruso
8. Cataldo
9. Schleck
10. Uran (maybe)
11. Scarponi
12. Pozzovivo

that's a guess by the way, waiting for the offical results

Still waiting on official GC and White Jersey standings...

Well my gamble paid off transferring in Basso & Pozzovivo for Goss & Balloni especially with the KOM points close but not at the finish. 40 for Pozzovivo + 5 for Basso add that to Hesjedal & Rodriguez is about the same as most the other team in the top 10

Guardini last man home.

1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 19. That's all my luck for this year.

better day today although gasparotto will haveto go because of DS duties.

1,3,6,11,12,

1,3,4 and last man for me today

Bos came in last. . . about time he got some pts

Guardini according to official site was last

Didn't Guardini come in last? Bos is last in GC, not last on the stage.

Not a bad day today, got 1,3,11,16,19 plus whatever gc, mountain points etc etc etc.

Now for tomoro's stage - do i put in cav or goss ?

Hey Dave/Simon can you check the scores? I'm pretty sure they're wrong, for a start Rubiano seems to have been given Rujano's points.

aye, i'll check

I think Rubiano should have 8 pts and Rujano 12 points. So Rubiano has currently been given all of Rujano's points and nothing up for Rujano. Shame, as I didn't have Rujano in the end but have got Rubiano - but fair's fair.

Agreed, I haven't checked all the results but it does look like Rubiano has been given both his and Rujano's points.

Caruso and Hesjedal were up there

j-rod 3rd , de gendt 4th

Pozzovivo is quite a popular pick isn't he? I messed up bad today.

intzausti second and sky lead in the group

pozz wins

The stage is Pozzovivo's, Intxuasti might be caught, looks like a bunch sprint for the other placings.

My girlfriend is being very smug as she picked the winner for me.
