Re:

I realise now that I have messed up a stage. my pick for tomorrow is... Viviani!!

I had similar state of mind today, when I realised that ... SHenao is not that SHenao as he should be

 

[Sasquatch]

I've got Simon Gerrans today. Could do it from peloton or break.

 

[ILovecycling]

That Ulissi option is probably the best, or Gilbert if someone has got him.I have him later in the race unfortunately.Well, Lobato probably won't bother today

 

[Netserk]

I see several in my group agree that Pirazzi is a good pick. The break will stick and there's plenty of GPM points along the route, so I think it's fair to say that Pirazzi will be in the break and contend for the win.

 

[ILovecycling]

Well I really dont know who will take points today

Edit: surely not myself

 

[Poursuivant]

Quite content sitting in mid table in my group right now, it is a tough group!

Great work Foxy.

By the way, do these standings take into account our TOP 20 GC Picks or will they be added at the end?

Provisionals standings take current top 20 into account

I see, thank you!

 

[Pantani_lives]

This can't be happening. I gave stage wins to Tom Jelte Slagter, Matthews and Ulissi, but all on the wrong day.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Well, I gave a stage win to Tiralongo as well, also on the wrong day.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Great post guys, keep going... I am a little bit busy over the weekend.
It seems no one scored today.
Provisionals in about 2 hours.

 

[Flamin]

I doubt anything changed at all. Except for those who still had hopes Chaves was a contender for top-20, cuz he lost 14 minutes today.

[ILovecycling]

Now you can wait with other provisionals after tt I think

I see...
The minibattle fauniera vs netserk has clear winner for now

 

[aarnold517]

I currently have GC picks in 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26 overall, so close!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yes Arnold, awesome tight race for (almost) all. I love it.

Nah... they are all close to each other in the T20. Thus we can expect a good chunk of changes after stages 11 & 12 too.
Plus, who knows if another rider says goodbye in one of those hilly stages like Chaves did...
And the sprint stages will also have plenty of influence... Great so far.

And I.Harm... unexpectedly into 1st. All the way up...

Oh dear, I'm peaking way too early. Now I'm kinda worried

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I fear you are right. Normally you peak on the last day... What´s wrong?

 

[l.Harm]

I'm actually worried

 

[mortand]

I've no idea. I'm just gonna blame Monfort.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

LOLz. Funny all...

Blaming Monfort is good... yes, yes, how in this world can he be in the T20 before the high mountains? He always drags in when everybody else gave up. Thus it means major things expected... like finishing 12th

or 21st ...

rest day tomorrow and after another mass sprint, will be interesting to see who bet on the right horse
As for me, Im satisfied with stages but not with t20, not so many points as I expected (actually I didnt expect so good stgs), including Chavito, that surprised me a bit.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Ah no, Monfort is not DeGreef. He is not made for 21st (max 22nd point landing ). As I said, he´s the better version of him, almost being the 2nd coming of Zubeldia. You see them not, but they are there and never let you down like... Chaves for example?

 

[Flamin]

Hm, I scored a point in stage 9? i thought nothing changed in gc...
