Darn. Should have put our favorite in.
I don't think I did to badly today, I think I've got at least 4 in.
Well happy for NSC's finest.
I've already tweeted him our congratulations.

You did very well today. Well played. Pleased for Ryder too.

Me too. Silly silly mistake from two days ago has cost me dear on all fronts. Oh well, tomorrows another day.
I have been working towards this weekend.
I'm really surprised quite how many jersey points you can pick up, in the interim. (Sorry [MENTION=12656]Pantani[/MENTION] I just didn't listen).
Surprisingly I think I'll been making my Gadret (sp) trade, for Roman.

Yep, knowing how the scores work is a huge advantage
My knowledge isn't that great but I seem to have at least got the hang of how to play the game. That's why I could kick myself for a massive balls up on Uran. I could have put it half right yesterday but I gambled to try to grab back the points I lost. Instead I lost even more points and worst still, I'm chasing transfers again when I should really be sitting pretty by now 
Well Roman is drinking in last chance salon, tomorrow.
You lot should all get on Gadret now, as I'm delaying that move, 24 hours.
I've made just one little move, and that's a premature nod to the ITT, by swapping nil points Pauwels for Brandle.
Oh and today was 4, 5, 7, 12, & 16

Sergent has survived another day in my team, as Lancaster had abandoned and had to go. Then I found out Demare did not finish today's stage so I still have one rider not competing.
It's 
time.
That's right, blow your own trumpet.
I believe I called today (yesterday's) stage rather well.
Exciting end, big non Liquigas kick, nearly blowing Basso out.
How pi$$ed off would you be riding for him.
We all knew he wasn't the name he was (famous last words) they still had to work their nuts off, and the moment he's left with 3 relatively easy kms to go, he blows it.
I'm really surprised how excited/emotional/connected (although that sounds twatty, just can't think of the word I want) I feel towards Ryder.
The whole NSC's finest gimmick, although just for fun, has really got to me.
I was roaring when he went clear and made it stick, and really nervous counting down the clock, before celebrating a complete stranger wearing pink.
He is currently no1 in my sporting universe, now the Albion aren't playing.

Frank Schleck has abandoned.
Don't be surprised to see Ivan Basso do something here today. This is, after all, more or less his home turf. Ivan Basso. His favourite training climbs are a few valleys to the west of the fearsome Valcava and the final schlep up to Pian dei Resinelli. However the 2006 and 2010 Giro champion is close enough to home to feel at a distinct advantage today.
and what does it say, if he doesn't?

Maybe the 'something' is, get his team to drive the peleton all day then just ride along gaining no time on his rivals.
If it weren't for my left knee, rotund belly, right big toe, lower back and left hip, I could do that.
So is Cav going to ride a full Giro, full Tour, and then the Olympics?

All the Giro, half the Tour, then the Olympics. I think.
