go chavanel!
I second that!
Friere or Hushovd.
Good day for my team. I had three finishers in the top 10 (Hushovd, R. Hunter, O. Freire). I also had Cancellera but he couldn’t hold on. I usually don’t scream for TDF stages but I was this time. Exciting finish.
i had 3rd and 4th, ciolek and hunter. but i also had cancellara and chavanel, so my guys were smelling the barn. dang. chavanel would’ve been a sweet win.
I also had Thor, Kirchen, and Freire. Won’t be sitting Kirchen like I did yesterday, ugh.
I had Hushovd and Kirchen today + 43 points yesterday - I’m on a roll for 21 days;)

2 for 2.
I had 4 in the top 10 today. It’s not looking good for Soler owners. I’m anticipating him as a DNS or DNF soon, possibly tomorrow. I was really rooting against Cancellara and Chavanel during their breaks as they were both late scrubs from my team and I’m sure many other people have them(well, at least Cancellara).
Kirchen just became the 1st rider to overcome his handicap.
I was thinking about it and the way the points work with this game the leaderboard is going to be really misleading the entire way. For example, most of the people who are “leading” really have very few (if any) points at all because many of the scoring riders are also handicapped. Because we can’t see which riders each person has there’s really going to be no way to know what the true leaderboard looks like until the race is over.
I mean, according to the “leaderboard” I scored 29 points yesterday but in reality my overall score after one stage was 0 because none of my scoring riders had overcome their handicaps yet.
Same with 3rd and 4th. Remember you get the 5 pts for Chavanel for most aggressive rider today. I finally got on the board!
Crap. Somehow I unselected Zabel and Kirchen for today, at least I have Hushovd.
Heia Norge !
I’m on the board! I was hoping Moreau could hold on. Then Cancellara’s little break had me thinking big. Neither were to be. I’ll take a fourth place, though. Thanks, Mr. Hunter.
37 points total for me
I had 8 after stage 1
.
Moving day. Went from 176 place to 132 with 42 points. Attack, attack, attack!
54 points for me today, woohooo.
I have a total of 12 points, 8 from today.
Stage 2: 26
Total : 60
Current standings:71st (tie)

Yes, was hoping Moreau would do what Chavanel did so I could get the aggressive rider points. Oh well. After a disastrous “manager” day yesterday, on the board with 26 pts in 177th.
Starting to look like underestimating Kim Kirchen was a big mistake.
Pretty happy to have Thor and Fabian… I was happy to watch those last two kilometers develop. Sitting in 99th right now, wondering when Robbie McEwen and Cavendish are going to come out to play. Tomorrow, maybe?
it’s only stage 2. i also blew it yesterday by not taking a closer look at the stage. but, 24 pts today, 3rd and 4th in the state, young rider, combative rider. and, none of mine have demerits. long way to go.
