You're doing an AMAZING job with this.

Feels good to be up there in the provisionals. But really, it's just about making the cut.

Thanks a lot. :)

I need a miracle :p cmon José

Yeah, maybe true. You "lost" already Carrara (as i do), Frank and somewhat Sella (he might comeback with a great ride in the mountains) for the chance to finish inside the Top-20/30.

OTOH, that´s just 3 riders. Everything still wide open. Nothing to real worry for now. :)

You do well in the provisionals boomcie. Looks pretty safe for now. Seems you don´t need stage winners (;)) by compiling a great Top-20. All your riders (except Carrara) have a chance to finish in the Top-20/30.

Thanks a lot for all the time and effort you put into this Foxxy!

Great game. Now I have even more sentiment to follow Gianluca Brambilla and Benat Intxausti ect. ect. quest for a solid place on final GC.

Kudos!

Yes. It´s cool to root for guys not being in the headlines. A whole new experience of watching grand tours. :)

Funny how quick things change on the provisionals. I was in the hot seat with a wild card spot before this stage and now i´m pretty far up in the safe zone.

It happens a lot on MTF-Stages. (Almost) nobody is save until the last stage. Some crazy comebacks and turnarounds happened last year too. It´s thrilling. :)

It's funny that I've got 1 point on this stage, but in provisional rankings I was dropped to Wild Card zone.:)

May you lost some guys on the Top-20, or guys you had on the right spot moved a place or two. Many possibilities. For example i lost Bakelants today, but still gained somewhere else...

I picked Bennati for the last TT; I won't repeat my miracle of last year, when Millar winning the TT made me advance to the Tour.

And Pozzato for tomorrow. Bad luck there.

At least J-Rod got me a full point today, and most of my top-20 picks still look fine (notwithstanding Serpa, Dupont, Ulissi).

Wait and see, I guess.

"jens_attacks" as lonesome scorer today. That enabled him to leave laterne rouge in the europe division. Important for him to possibly make a comeback...

I am surprised no one picked Chicchi.
