It all comes down to this. Last stage and its close at the top with TER only 8 points ahead of me! I'm trying to secure my first top 10 of the season so who's your shout for the TT tomorrow? Martin, Westra and Castroviejo are obvious as is Sergeant probably but who else could come good? Can Henao TT, is Boaro in good form because he came quite far down today? What about Edmondson? Basically, how can I overhaul TERatcliffe?!

Not the best final stage but I couldn't change much

1,2,4,5,7,8,9,14 and Edmondson

1,2,3,5,6,8,9 on GC

Not great for my purist either compared to others

1,4,7,8 with 1,3,5,6 on GC

Well I think that gives me a fine score - all 9 riders in the top 12 1
1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 not a bad way to finish the stage !

Oliveira the best of the early runners at 48'53" but on a course that's drying out and favouring later runners i reckon we'll see a sub 45 minute?

I've got

Sylvain Chavanel (OPQ)
Lieuwe Westra (VCD)
Rigoberto Uran (SKY)
Tony Martin (OPQ)
Rui Alberto Faria Da Costa (MOV)
Tiago Machado (RSN)
Bjorn Leukemans (VCD)
Manuele Boaro (SAX)
Ricardo-Jorge Mestre (EUS)

but I'm way out of contention in this one and my picks have been wrong all week! Hoping Boaro has saved something and he's got some mountain points at least! Had Chavanal yesterday but didn't work out. Swapped Kelderman for Westra as Kelderman has done bugger all all week so now he'll win it!!

Going out for a ride now to burn off my annoyance with this tour!!

Martin
Henao
Westra
Kwiatkowski
Costa
Machado
Castroviejo
Tiernan-Locke
Caruso

First and foremost I'm hoping that I do enough to secure my top ten place in the competition then I want to overhaul my 8 point deficit to TER in the Forum Scorum league.

EDIT: crumbs, me and TER have the same team except for Tiernan-Locke/Caruso vs Kloden/Edmondson... and I'm on the losing end of that one 20

Oh well, just need to do enough to squeek a top 10 and I'll be happy.

Da Costa
Edmondson
