Re:

Cunego should be out as well after wearing the blue jersey -that's not very ninja like.

You are right: he looks unlikely to win the ninja award anyway, but shall we change the rules during the game, or simply bear this in mind for future GTs?

 

[NairoQ]

Excluding jersey-wearers during this game is something I'm against Would've picked someone else if that were the case.

 

[NairoQ]

1. Hesjedal
2. Pirazzi
3. Firsanov
4. Kangert
5. Verona
6. Monfort
7. Formolo
8. Taaramae
9. De la Cruz
10. Anton

Vladimir taking over my top spot, Los Brolin coming closer. After that: Madrazo, 18Valve, Geraint Too Fast, AC, Rote Lanterne. The other two are quite far behind.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I think Cunego is very ninja-like. I didn't even realise that he was wearing the blue jersey.

 

[Kazistuta]

As a former giro winner and a darling in Italy I say he is destined for tv time. But of course you don't change the rules during a race.

 

[NairoQ]

Los Brolin and Postman Hat are out with Atapuma and Cunego finishing top 10!

1. Hesjedal
2. Pirazzi
3. Firsanov
4. Formolo
5. Kangert
6. Verona
7. Monfort
8. Anton
9. Scarponi
10. Dupont

All pretty close, all these riders are between 14-27 in the GC. 'Luckily' for Pirazzi he wasn't able to stay in front today.

Re:

Atapuma marks my demise, Los Brolin is still in with Anton.

 

[NairoQ]

My bad, Los Brolin still in third place!

 

[NairoQ]

1. Hesjedal
2. Pirazzi
3. Firsanov
4. Formolo
5. Monfort
6. Kangert
7. Anton
8. Dupont
9. Henao
10. Conti

 

[NairoQ]

18Valve is out, with Nieve taking a stage win.

Formolo (NairoQ)
Monfort (Vladimir) @3:39
Anton (Los Brolin) @ 7:02
Dupont (Madrazo) @ 7:03
Cardoso (Geraint Too Fast) @ 11:45
Kudus (Rote Laterne) @ a lot
Niemiec (Hugo Koblet) @ even more lots

Currently looking good for me, but I'm not too confident - I can easily see Formolo being allowed a day off duty, which could mean he'll be able to get in a good break and turn out to get in the top ten/win a stage.

For now, I'll have to """hope""" he has to do all he can to keep Uran in a good position.

 

[Hakkie2]

1 Pirazzi
2 Monfort
3 Dupont
4 Henao
5 Cardoso
6 Scarponi
7 Kangert
8 Formolo
9 Anton
10 Zeits

Monfort and Dupont favourites now.

 

[NairoQ]

Monfort (Vladimir)
Dupont (Madrazo) @ 2:04
Cardoso (Geraint Too Fast) @ 8:36
Formolo (NairoQ) @ 18:08
Anton (Los Brolin) @ 19:02
Kudus (Rote Laterne) @ a lot
Niemiec (Hugo Koblet) @ even more lots

Formolo with a huge breakdown last stage, Vladimir takes over the lead in our classification with Monfort!

 

[murali]

missed out on this game......

 

[RedheadDane]

Monfort (Vladimir)
Dupont (Madrazo) @ 2:04
Cardoso (Geraint Too Fast) @ 8:36
Formolo (NairoQ) @ 18:08
Anton (Los Brolin) @ 19:02
Kudus (Rote Laterne) @ a lot
Niemiec (Hugo Koblet) @ even more lots

Could be interesting if they past a certain ammount of time wrote it like that on the results-sheet.
"Just forget it. Your time's so bad there's no need to bother!"

 

[del1962]

Monfort would make a worthy winner

 

[NairoQ]

Agreed, I don't see him going top 10 from this position. Unless he gets in a break again, but I'd think he'll play safe now.

I hope Formolo wins today to save me from the embarassment of being 'lots' behind at the end of the game. I'd much rather be ruled out for a good result.

 

[murali]

No one picked Roche?!!!

 

[Hakkie2]

Dupont and Henao only 1 second apart now!!!

 

[NairoQ]

Dupont having a good day:

Dupont (Madrazo)
Monfort (Vladimir) @ 8:13
Cardoso (Geraint Too Fast) @ 9:23
Formolo (NairoQ) @ 19:55
Anton (Los Brolin) @ 34:44
Kudus (Rote Laterne) @ 1:05:48

Niemiec already a couple of days out of the race, apparently.

1. Dupont
2. Henao
3. Pirazzi
4. Monfort
5. Cardoso

Is the general top five, I think.

 

[NairoQ]

Dupont, Monfort and Cardoso in the break apparently. Could Formolo still pull this off?

 

[NairoQ]

It seems to come down to a battle between Monfort (Vladimir) and Cardoso (GtF) tomorrow, with the former having a 1:18 lead. May the best win!

 

[shalgo]

Smart move by Monfort and Cardoso to hang back and let Dupont get 10th today.

 

[Hakkie2]

Dupont out, Monfort now leading; 9 seconds in front of Henao

 

[NairoQ]

Cardoso overtakes both Henao and Monfort. GtF seems to have won this one, barring an exceptional sprint from Cardoso.
