In summary, we have:

• Some bignames that under achieved, as well as a few teams - by our standards, and a few unlucky riders/teams (crashes).
• With the prologue missing, Cancellara was merely a spectator until his 5th place on stage 21, normally he would have taken the prologue and held onto yellow for a few day - instead that was left to Hushovd.
• Strange how one of the Pro-Continental teams (wildcard invitee) always seems to do well, Europcar/Bbox (2011/2010), Barloworld (2007) just to name a few.

Looking forward to 2012 when we do it all over again

Thanx, Frosty, for this cool initiative!
