on watching replay it was pretty ordinary stuff. He had Petacchi’s wheel and was coming around him when Peta started his move.

actually managed to watch a stage finish just now for the first time this year (I think) – except I’m not used to the new jerseys and the new teams and had no idea who exactly was sprinting for the win- lol.

But I mean, did they contest it and just weren't fast enough?
They’re both on pretty good form you know….
Liqugas was washed away QS had no train.
Sky dominated and pettachi boxed out Farrar avoiding a swerving EBH.
The above all passed Thor who went to early and every one else were back markers.

Looks like 160 for the young lad. This whole week and my two young rabos are my only point getters.
Guess I should have stocked up more on members of the Hegemony. Six might not have been enough.

Savoldelli’s win there should have a HUGE asterisk, since Garzelli and Simoni (cocaine candy) and Casagrande were all booted
Ah those were the days.
When cycling was more like short track speed skating, you gotta keep from getting knocked out.

i feel slightly better
about dropping to 137 after PN. oh but wait, down to 169 now and HH is out of MSR. so far it’s been great watching all the riders i dropped from last year do well this year.
This is probably my high water mark...
Moved into 72nd place thanks to Scarpone, Cadel, and Nibali… but MSR is not going to be kind to me.

Me too.
Unless Gilbert or Freire wins. Other than them I have the stunning line up of Uran, Koldo (might be top 10), Nibali, Pelli and Barredo.
Gilbert and friere have my dead to rights. at least those two have hope.
Hutaravich is my best bet. And that says Miracle Needed to Win.

I would like to take the time to point out
that while it may look like I posted the livethread, I’m fairly certain it was ursula who made the “no intermediate sprint-shenanigans” prediction.
Dude!
Someone didn’t fill in the correct scores..
I’m 393.. That is of course not possible..
I will give you 5 minutes to fix that.

Is the VDS fully updated.
It does seem that Gesink is missing 60 points for final other secondary jersey. I do believe that the white is considered and other secondary jersey no.

Otherwise, have a little patience.

Category 3 races have only one secondary jersey?
I thought points from Mountain and Young rider classification were reserved for the GTs? If that is the case – someone have gotten too many points from PN. (Desperately trying to talk myself into Lanterne Rouge)
No, all jerseys are counted, if there's an objective competition for them.

Just saw the stage
What a nasty sprint by EBH. Sporza co-commentator Tom Steels said he did the same thing last year in the Eneco Tour. EBAH.
U mean this TS, The Saint?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzTZV0TYG-U
This is probably the sprint he is referring to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9zeJ3D3udg. I’m reluctant to call these sprints nasty, but he certainly strays off his line. Unfortunate. IMHO the sprint in Eneco was worse, because there the angle was sharper and he almost put goss into the rails. Straight ahead Edvald! Don’t stray, or swerve (too much)…
with was Rui Costa
who fell today!! he fears a muscle tear in his left shoulder. The same that made him leave the Tour last year, after a fall.
