Too bad, i picked the wrong "Androni Giocattoli rider".

P.S.: Another one bites the dust; Carrara said goodbye to the Top-20 (+ 21 mins today). Good that i picked him.:rolleyes:

No one... only losing today some CG-Guys and sprinters (the mentioned Carrara, Serpa Perez, and DNF´s RFeillu, Farrar, Hushovd :eek:).

I didn't pick farrar because he has not shown any promising results lately, but carrara is definitely a blow. Hope he can remain in the top 30 though

For me it´s Hushovd that hurts...

Today the real massacre will start. Not the real favourits, but surely some more Top-20 pretenders will drop out of contention....

Carrara won´t even make top 30 when he already lost 21 mins on a non-mountain-stage. A dissapointment...

Today the first provisionals will be published.

That´s how it works:
Points gained in the stages so far + Points for the CG as they will stand after today.
Basically it means complete Point-Standings as if the Giro ended today. It will show a clear picture of who has good chances to survive & those who will have to suffer to make the cut.

Hah, my speculative pick of Pirazzi for today almost worked out, and my GC pick looked good. Nice stage for me. :D

I've picked bos, cav, and goss for three sprints and each time i picked them one of them crashed in the finish...plus i picked meersman and farrar for the next two stages and they're knocked out. If you're a sprinter, hope i don't pick you :eek:

I know what you mean. Same feeling here. Plus I played Ventoso on two other stages. Not my Giro yet.

Yes!!!

After some hard luck with Cav and Rodriuguez+ breaks staying away.

I finally got one right again with Ventoso. I doubt many people picked him today;).

Shame I have got Hushovd and Bennati for later stages, but then it seems like many people have made similar mistakes.
