    Ireland above Kazakhstan. France and Holland looking pretty shakey
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    Is Benoît Joachim still going?

    Can't think of any others. Johnny Schleck?

    Google tells me Joachim is spending this year riding for CCI Differdange:

    Looking at their team, it appears there are more Luxembourgish cyclists than I first thought, including the fantastically named Jempy Drucker and the even more fantastically named Christian Poos.

    Does Italy get to keep Di Luca's points?

    Anyone got a link to show standing vs. number of riders you get in your team?

    They are a South African sponsor, mainly grown out of a South African team, but have always been registered in Britain.
