splat Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 My top team pick is garmin, bloody whole team abandoned Also hemorrhaging points there
'Dale Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I wish vinokourov would start to go for some stage wins! It is his last tdf so a win would be cool. .. Yeah, for his final Tour (again!) he has been helluva quiet.
'Dale Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 With Sammy crashing out I'm now stuck with Frank... They said he might be hiding some good form. He's really hiding it very very well! :lol:
nuge Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 will be interesting to see if tony martin's feeling better for today's ITT - here's hoping, if you get my drift!
Cippo Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I picked a team of GC contenders and 2 sprinters. Irs surprising that the GC guys in the Tour ar coming out figting early on as if they wanna wrap this up early on.
Frosty Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Same for me My 2nd & 3rd reserves are actually doing something on the GC & Young Rider category...me too... 1x GC rider and 1x young rider waiting on the bench, and they're both could be scoring points.that's what makes this game both interesting and frustrating

SwissVan Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Hell even I'm wishing that my (sole) reserve rider (Chris Froome) could be used now.What a pity that Ryders who cannot start due to injury are not allowed to be substituted.... Hesjedal, who suffered a hematoma "right on his hip joint" according to Vaughters, was in a "sombre, quiet mood" on Saturday as both he and team-mate Tom Danielson prepared to travel to the airport in Paris. "We figured his hematoma would go down overnight, but it didn't," Vaughters said prior to the seventh stage to the race's first hilltop finish at La Planche des Belles Filles in the Vosges. "The problem is to the degree that he can't actually bend his leg.

nuge Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) in the same boat with tony martin, he didn't crash out, but he's evidently not well enough to score any points (edit: apparently he's considering not continuing, aaargh!). that and he keeps puncturing during time trials, what's up with that? poor bugger, hope he's better for the olympics Edited July 10, 2012 by nuge
'Dale Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) With Wiggo in yellow, I will be sliding backwards in this bunch like I dropped my chain.Sagan in green is still working well for me.Bloomin' Albasini is trying hard, but NOT getting me those points.Gesink was, note WAS, my surprize package. Tch! Did Pilks' biological passport pass the recent dope tests? Edited July 10, 2012 by ' Dale
nuge Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 looks like i spoke too soon - this was posted an hour ago on eurosport: MACON, France (Reuters) - World time trial champion Tony Martin has quit the Tour de France in order to let a broken bone in his wrist heal in time for the London Olympics.The German suffered the fracture in a crash on the first stage of the three-week race but rode on with a special cast before finishing 12th in Monday's ninth stage time trial."It's difficult for me to step out of the Tour and leave my team mates here to keep on fighting," Martin said in an Omega Pharma-Quick Step statement on Tuesday."But it's the right thing to do now, and I know that even the guys will understand."I have still three weeks before the Olympics. I know that it won't be easy, but I will do all my best to be in good shape."The road cycling time trial at the Olympics is on Aug 1.(Reporting by Mark Meadows; Editing by Peter Rutherford; )
