Lanterne Rouge
Lastras Garcia (MOV)

1,2,4,5,12 plus all the top 5 in the points comp plus Paolini and Santambrogio GC plus Viviani and Cavendish in the intermediate sprints and Viviani taking the combativity prize gives me, I think, about 170 today

1,2,5,8,12,17 + Paolini & Nibali

Very happy with that after a few very bad scores. Also have 4 transfers saved up for tomorrow or the TT. Hopefully I can move up the rankings a bit in the next few stages.

1,2,4,5,8,13,17

Hmm will that be enough for a win?

Finally
178 points , 12,3,4,5 plus mountain and young rider means I move up 18 places ....

Now to take some penalty points for the next two stages (again)

If you check the Giro website (http://www.gazzetta.it/Giroditalia/2013/it/) and look at the classifications for the stage (tappa) rather than the overall and there's one called 'Premio Combattivita'.

11 Edwin Alcibiades AVILA VANEGAS
12 Kenny DE HAES
13 Adam BLYTHE
14 Iljo KEISSE
15 Ioannis TAMOURIDIS

2,3,4 & 7 very pleased with that vast improvement for me

1,2,4 and 5. A better day than I've been having so far.

1 CAVENDISH Mark Omega Pharma - Quick-Step 80 3:56:03
2 VIVIANI Elia Cannondale Pro Cycling Team 50 ,,
3 GOSS Matthew Orica GreenEDGE 35 ,,
4 BOUHANNI Nacer Equipe Cycliste FDJ 25 ,,
5 GAVAZZI Mattia Androni - Venezuela 18 ,,
6 BELLETTI Manuel AG2R La Mondiale 15 ,,

8 NIZZOLO Giacomo RadioShack - Leopard 10 ,,
9 BRESCHEL Matti Team Saxo-Tinkoff 8 ,,
10 FERRARI Roberto Lampre - Merida 6 ,,

At least I got 1,2 and 5. May have lost some points to those who had Goss and Bouhanni as well, but should be a solid score

1 Cav
2 Viviani
3 Goss

Stage hunting today
Cav
Bouhanni
Viviani
Nizollo
Ventoso
Blythe
Gavazzi
Jens Kek... (However its spelt)

Have 8/10 transfers for my stage hunting exploits over the weekend

Sprint 2
'ditto'

Sprint 1
1 Wurf
2 Bobridge
3 Viviani

I bought Gavazzi in for Wurf

Gap 5.42

Dammit. Just watched the highlights of yesterday, hadn't realised that Gatto and Ventoso were right up there until the crash - could've been a really good day yesterday.

Advantage 2.15

Oh dear everyone - WigBilly has a plan! Bad news...

And if Wurf gets in the break I'll be mildly annoyed... #massivebloodyunderstatement

Bobridge (BLA) & Wurf (CAN) have established a small lead

just 2 changes for me today, had enough unrewarded penalty points for now!

Cav
goss
JD
Bouhanni
Battaglin
Paolini
garzelli
Locatelli
Mezgec

Think may regret not having viviani, and maybe ferrari, nizzolo, gavazzi, but you can have everyone.....

I'm on Cav today at 4/5, massive gamble not having him in the squad today i feel

Phinney has started but is also struggling with a fever....

I've got a plan for the next 3 stages, so only one transfer today.

Cavendish (for Santanmbrogio)
Ventoso
Hesjedal
Battaglin
Paolini
Dehaes
Betancur
Rubiano
Gavazzi
