USA came close today...

 

[TMP402]

Spain out - or were they already?

Re:

No, you're right, Lobato today was their first win.

 

[TMP402]

The second highest vote-getter, the USA is out! John Murphy of UHC wins at the Herald Sun Tour. I know I should probably do it myself but an update would be useful...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Well done US and JM.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Slovenia is gone.

 

[TMP402]

Re:

Slovenia is gone.

So 2nd and 3rd in the poll out, Denmark pretty lonely at the top there.

 

[RedheadDane]

We'll get a win from some obscure guy soon enough.

 

[johnymax]

So if I'm not mistaken Denmark, Russia, Poland and Norway left.

If Kwiatkowski and Kristoff had started their seasons a little earlier...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

However, the real question is: Why isn't Portugal in the poll?

 

[jens_attacks]

rui sousa will win the epic battle with contador on malhao.

Re:

because they failed to get 10 wins at .1 or higher last year
