    Froome not on the top ten anymore. Mistake?

    Arguably, yes, as it means that he'll start the TT before Contador so won't have him as a reference point.
    I don't think in these days of power meters that they use other riders times as reference points any more.
    I'd assumed FF was asking if their was a mistake in the listing of the top 10 not whether Froome had made a mistake.

    Maybe a tiny advantage to Contador to be going after but insignificant in the grand scheme of things surely.

    Better today, apparently, but might not be the nailed on certainty for tomorrow

    Damn inconsiderate to us PTPers. So, if he has a bout of the squirts half way round who do we think will win, Froome or Porte?

    Assuming Martin's still under par, and because Porte was sickly on a training camp before the race, I've gone for Fenton over the longer distance

    Yeah, I'm edging that way.

    Froome to make a splash at the Dauphine.

    Thomas.

    Very curious to see how Contador goes. Let's see if those rumours of lack of form are true.

    Apropos of nothing in particular I wonder if the man who named his dog Fenton ever dreamt in a world of unlimited possibilities that the name he chose for his dog would be used amongst cycling fans as a nickname. The world is funny sometimes. :)
    Correlation is not causation.

    I reckon Kwiatkowski will do a good TT could potentially win has done a few good rides this year plus is going well from todays showing, or Chavanel has been strong in the TT in recent years.

    Chavanel is a very good call. He's been looking pretty strong already this race. But with my PTP policy of not picking someone I want to actually win, I'm sticking with Tony Martin, squits or no.

    Eddie's positioning in the final 10km there was immaculate. :shock: :shock: :shock:
