Cheers! Fluke though. Not sure whether to bother now as I've nothing else much to play for but I'd love to win a mountain stage before the end of the year and there are a few to play for.

I just saw. Can't believe it. I just put in Martin and Canc and left everything the same as I couldn't be bothered to change my mountain team. I would have won Monday as well if I'd left my team alone from Sunday!

Tool kit will be useful as I don't have much more than the very basics. Not really into mechanics much, although I did change a cotter-based crankset for a cotterless one many moons ago! Anyone else remember cotters! Pain in the ass when they came loose!!

19. Barta 152 + 2:52
20. Horner 184 + 2:54

1,2,4,6,14,20 for me. Pinotti was poor, should have kept Konig and Pozzovivo (but seriously, who expected that?!) and possibly brough in Cataldo/Clement instead of Pinotti.

Not too bad, glad I gave in last night and picked Cancellara/Martin at least.

What the hell is Pozzovivo on today?! I never expected him to be anywhere near the top 10 but he's currently 2nd at the 2nd check and beating Tony Martin!

EPO? Blood doping? Epherdrine? Cortizone? A cocktail of all that with a twist of lime....

Nice call on Barta, he's currently sitting 2nd, think you may extend your lead on me in the Forum Scorum again today unless Basso/Rodriguez/Roche do something impressive.

It's probably more important who gets it right over the next two days, AND gets their team back to climbing norm. I will be taking some penalties in the next few days, which would close the gap back down again.

Back in the USUK....

I suppose that now I can give it my full attention I will start going backwards as usual.

went TT today with 5 changes

Barta
Martin
Cancellara
Clement
EBH

stuck with Konig, His Nibs, Kangert and Horner.

confirmed loads of issues today apparently, according to the twittersphere. seems however that cancellara has tony martin well beaten today, and then big gaps to the others. EBH way down I heard for those on him

Cracking ride from Westra, to turn a 1'30" deficit on Urtasun into a 3 min lead at the end is impressive. Shame he's not in my team though.
