Re:

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

Landa and Kreuziger switched place. I guess you have Kreuziger as 6th.

edit: no that was the stage before.... My bad.

edit2: you got your point because Geniez and Moinard switched place!

Ooh right, Moinard was in the break. Thanks I totally forgot. I reckoned it stayed the same because all those in top-20 finished in the same group (bar the top-4).

Then Geniez is my first 'hit' except for Contador.

 

[Netserk]

Well, it's a very fragile point, so it doesn't really matter

 

[Flamin]

True, but it means I have a very good base and can only get better (read: by getting lucky) meanwhile some already have quite some hits and are likely to lose points.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Today is Greipel day... I hope not:
Greipel-19
Viviani-7
Nizzolo-3
Pelucchi-3
Mezgec-2
Modolo-2

 

[Flamin]

Sporza says Pelucchi was suffering from ankle pain this morning at the start. Sorry foxx (although supposedly because of after effects from his crash in stage 2, which is a bit weird)

 

[l.Harm]

IAM is at the front though

- but out now..

 

[Netserk]

I'm glad the only stage I picked Pelucchi for was the only one where he made the top-3

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yes, just heard... Nice. Pelucchi out. So basically everybody will score today except us 3 having Pelucchi.

Now rooting hard against Greipel, lets see if it works.

 

[ILovecycling]

Forza VIVIANI!!!

Re:

Im starting to be your fanboy , incredible pick

 

[Netserk]

More like dumb luck. I regret that I only have picked Viviani and Greipel once (G today, V on stage 2). I thought the sprints would be too messy for them and Greipel would/will withdraw here in the 2nd week. I doubt Mecgez will score me any points

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Oh my... let me dream... I´d ROFL if the break gets trou.

 

[LosBrolin]

Better start ROFLing then

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I do, I do. Can´t believe this. How often does a break survive on a flat stage like those new age TV-screens are? In like 0.01%?

Now rooting hard against Greipel, lets see if it works.

It worked. Amazing.

Bitter side note that Porte lost, but this break getting trou is awsome and washes that away.

OFC, no scorers today. Sorry for you guys wasting a Greipel stage.

 

[Netserk]

I scored in the provisional standings with Porte dropping to fourth

edit: Since Nizzolo won the bunch sprint and I.Harm has him, I'm glad the break took all the points. (Diggercuz the only other without Greipel, but he is out of my reach, so it doesn't matter that I didn't take 0.5 point on him)

Yes, but still below the line, "thanks" to the tie breaker...
And Mortand is still climbing. Never peaked that "early".
Eshnar is free falling now.

But Greipel didn't participate in the sprint, and I think a number of sprinters didn't take the sprint that seriously. Nizzolo is going for the points jersey.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

No scorers in the last 3 stages. I guess that will change tomorrow/today. Someone certainly will hit the jackpot, since no less than 18 riders are mentioned as stage winner picks.

Re: Re:

It was bound to happen in the ITT anyway.

 

[vladimir]

Fantastic, Porte down to 12th gave me 2 points extra
Just shows how fragile these provisionals are at this early stage

No scorers again, so I guessed wrong with this:

No scorers in the last 3 stages. I guess that will change tomorrow/today. Someone certainly will hit the jackpot, since no less than 18 riders are mentioned as stage winner picks.

The stage scoring drought continues. 4 stages now. May be the longest such streak ever.

 

[the sceptic]

damn I thought I had Zakarin today

anyway, at least his quest to get into top 20 begins..

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Re:

Today no changes at all in the provisionals. A first this year...

Ah come on, you so far ahead of everybody, you couldn´t care less. Tell me what stuff you guys use in the clinic. Not normal.

Kidding aside: Great picks again. You´d even lead without the points you took over from the other two rounds.
