Nice pics. Those gold shoes were ace.A Samu win today would be very pleasing. Especially considering the descent.

Pauwels and Fuglsang happy to let him take max points each time?Jrod first over the first two climbs which gives him 7 points. 2 more to reach Froome's amount.0 -

Nice to see Dan Martin in the break - got a MASSIVE 20p e/w on him for today

No Sky in today's break, but I think I heard that yesterday's delegation happened more by accident than design, if that's possible. By contrast, Saxo have put a lot of their firepower ahead. Movi more conservative.0

If that comes off you could buy a mars bar!"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

You mean 11 mars bars!!
£6.65 if he comes in the top 4.
On the other hand I did forget to make a PTP pick today so I guess it's karma.0 -

And sanity prevails. Thanks.0 -
J Rod, Fuglslang, Pauwels, Voeckler, De Gendt and Clement have a small gap on the other escapees. Got to fancy J Rod for today. He rested yesterday and the Montvernier climb is a perfect launch pad for him.
Only thing that will stop him is if the GC guys really kick off on the Glandon.0 -

I got very excited when 3 of my picks went out of the break briefly ( Fuglsang, De Gendt and Pauwels). Come on de Gendt to swell the GSVBagpuss retirement fund!0 -

That's a great photo, and yes I bet there were a few heavy sighs as they took off today.0 -
Anyone know what the lowest number of finishers is in recent times? Say the last 30 years? I reckon this year isn't going to be far off.0

1998 must be near the top of that list surely? 90-odd riders finished IIRC after everything that went on.Anyone know what the lowest number of finishers is in recent times? Say the last 30 years? I reckon this year isn't going to be far off.0 -

No idea, but if I had to guess, I'd go for 1998. "Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Yeh ok, but exclude 1998. Lets say in 'normal circumstances'.0

Since the startlist rose to 180+, looks like 1995 is the lowest with 115/189 finishing0 -

Thanks, great links. Looks like this year isn't quite as bad as I thought. Still two difficult stages to go though.0
