Tour de Romandie

i like to think that most of my team were ssving themselves for future stages !

It's actually the second sprint Wiggo has won this year.... there was an intermediate one in P-N, I think!

Rumor has it Westra has withdrawn (again...). I guess we'll believe it when we (don't) see it at the finish line.

I win, I win.....well at least Hivert does

Only 1st and 3rd for me, but at least i'll get some points back

Oh you can shove your GC, i'm a stage by stage guy

I still have the sprints leader though

Man, this is not going well at all. No score today.

Not to worry, i think i have a good chance at back to back wins because i picked 6 guys on their climbing abilities so i hadn't been thinking about these first couple of stages.

As long as they don't do what happened in Turkey today, let the break get 15 mins and don't bother to take them back because it was a continental team leading the GC who couldn't control the pace, in the end the guys won by 3 minutes

Nah i think sky have the men to keep it controlled, but i think it was quite a poor show by the pro teams in Turkey to just leave the weaker teams to it

I may regret not picking Roy, he'll be in the break tomorrow having sat back with Cav today. I'd like to see Cav in the break tomorrow aswell, might aswell give it a dig

That would be interesting, Cav in a break.

Only had 3rd and a few minor placings. Doing well in the young rider though; 1st, 3rd and 4th.

Damn, i was wrong Roy not in the break, but nice to see Cav going the water bottles for the team

What did i say about back to back wins......

WHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT, LL was 8 seconds behind this morning, got the 10 second bonus for the win, but is still 1 second behind Wiggo??

Rabo are packing the top 10 GC, 4 in the top 7

An extremely pants minimum 20 today! Only got that from G.C points. No points from the stage!

Well i have 1st and thats it, a bonus for another rider, plus i have 2nd and 5th (i think) in GC, some other points here and there, gaining some points back now

All you guys with Wiggo, i'd be pray he has a good nights sleep, as he looked dead coming home today

I doubt it, Mollema is working for my guy

Looks like Luis Leon Sanchez is the main man.

Couple of decent climbs but big downhill and flat finish. More for the rouleurs than the goats. Then it's the TT, which is where my team is biased. Even Zabriskie had a dig today! Very ambitious so I'm hoping he'll go well in the TT. Don't think many have got him or Talansky.

Oh yeah, i just took what Eurosport put up, normally right, but i see above, another guy listed with his first name, The tour has his as Paterski, but his surname is Maciej. A bit like Thomas Geraint.

Like it even more when i see Rolland is now in there Cheers Alan
