Afternoon all! They're 30km in, 2 of my guys already tried to get away but its back together at the mo I think.

I just swapped Seeldraeyers for Henao - couldn't cope if I dropped anyone else and they got in a break...

J-Rod
Valverde
Contador
Henao
Bouet
Sarmiento
De La Fuente
Astarloza
Machado

Anyway, my team was De Gendt, Rodriguez, Contador, Valverde, Quintana, Talansky, Marczyinski, Simon Clarke and Winner Anacona. 229 points by my count and I'm calling it a win unless someone has the exact same team.

Yep, I have same team!

I'm not sure that a team could be made with Cataldo in it. Rodriguez, Contador, Valverde, and De Gendt combine to cost 125.5 points. Cataldo costs 15.4, so that leaves precious little to spend on 4 more domestiques.

That should win just, but does a combination of Valverde and Contador outscore 7 points from froome in the GC + Cataldo, dont forget cataldo got 10 points for most combative too. Its gonna be tight but we shall see. ( the thing that will save you is the fact the finish line climb points dont count otherwise im certain cataldo would score enough)

forgot you had clarke too, you will win

Well If De Gendt win's he'll be level. But I don't know how they will work it out. Maybe whoever has lost the least time?  39

Also, Contador distancing Valverde and Quintana, looks like another Contador/Rodrguez showdown for 3rd.

Bad news for all you Froome fans:

Quote:

Rafal Majka pulls over for Saxo Bank after a huge turn, and when Jesus Hernandez takes over, he pulls a select group clear with him - Contador, Rodriguez, Valverde and Quintana are all there, but Froome, Gesink and Ten Dam have all been dropped.

Gap under 10 minutes and falling plus:

Quote:

The peloton has now caught GreenEdge pair Pieter Weening and Simon Clarke, who broke clear towards the summit of the last climb in a bid to secure some mountain points for Clarke, the current polka dot jersey.

which hopefully puts and end to Clarke's scoring for today. By the sounds of it the gap is coming down quickly, it could be a close run thing between De Gendt and the likes of Contador/Rodriguez for the stage win if it keeps falling.

I assume it'll go to whoever's got the highest points on the highest cat climb but don't bank on that.

I think he can only equal Clarke on 38, and that is only if Clarke doesn't get any more points today.

Hmmmm, My post didn't post......

De Gendt scooping up all the points and the win would do me nicely. Go skipping back up the purist table. But not having any sprinters have left me well out of contention.

My ideal? Valverde and Clarke to both abandon  19 the purist comp is just too close to call, I need a big day from Contador today.

Make that 13 and a half minutes..

De Gendt for the stage win, Cataldo second and I reckon Moncoutie third (having broken off the front going for the HC KoM points) then the GC contenders.

De Gendt and Cataldo have around 8 minutes now, they could be on for the stage win at this rate!
