Tour of Beijing Stage 3
I wasn't going to do stage 3 comm's, but I'm up watching Bathurst 1000 and then onto F1 and Moto GP, then Cycling....
So to start you off, bad news if you have Hushovd in your team. He's gone home for a family emergency, his daughter have been hospitalised with an illness.
As far as I'm aware, he's the only non-starter today

I've got the scores done TER, unless you want to do them. I'm just waiting for last man home.
Updating the scores now, these are provisional and might change a touch. Most of it is set, except last man home, because of the missing riders.
I just totted up, I lost 90 points by making transfers
Gutted would be an understatement. I dropped 29 places to 52nd, If I had made no changes, I would be sitting 5th.....
My only hope at the top 10 badge now is getting a good score on Paris - Tours and moving up from 14th
Its fine for you to do them
Cordeel was last man
You don't know the half of it, -22 for the stage (I made three penalty transfers) and I dropped 139 places to 152nd
Wow that is impressive! makes me feel better with my 4 points.......
Silver lining though it does rather help my purist team, which I filled with sprint type guys and seems to be going very well
My performance on stage 3 was so impressive I actually finished last on the stage
A little bit of a problem in China, it seems around 37 riders have gone missing.....not actually missing, just no-one can find their times if they have finished
Are you doing the scores Gkam, or am I?
Did not finish
Davide Cimolai
Biao Lio
Thomas De Gendt
Michael Hepburn
Just waiting for last man home
5th and Caruso's points so far
One, two and eight for me.
First place, and that's it unless anyone else snuck into the top 20.
Nacer Bouhanni
Michael Matthews
Alexey Tsatevitch
Elia Viviani
Martin Kohler
Borut Bozic
Tosh Van Der Sande
Jesus Herrada Lopez
Romain Bardet
Matti Breschel
awesome no one in top 10 for me
I kept Matthews who got second
Bouhanni takes from a reduced field sprint!
I am screwed today, I took out Petacchi, Bouhanni, Mezgec and Vivianni for today
Likewise i took out my sprinters, i have got Caruso though so not to bad.
der panzerwagen going for it!
Scant joy for me so far today. Hope its does come down to a bunch; left in Bouhanni and Mezgec from yesterday just in case (seems to me this is actually a MM stage with a just-about-cat-one lumped in there as well).
However, my other picks of Gavazzi, De Gendt, Beyer, Gusev and D. Martin haven't done owt and don't look likely to.
Hansen caught, fairly sure this is coming back to a sprint today
15km to go, Hansen with 46" and heading onto the climb
Cheers Gkam for updates
made 4 changes

Feel I may have gone a day early.....
Hansen out on his own - lead of 1min 10sec
25km to go at Hansen is on a solo TT
Bugger, looks like it might be another sprint finish and I emptied my team last night
One lone leader now - Adam Hansen. Two different groups behind him
Leaders been caught on the decent - 14riders in the front now
Haydon Roulston took the #POM then
