The same Tony Martin who's Paris-Nice win was based on winning on a similar uphill time trial?

Contador in the hot seat... A second chance for my PTP?0

Bladdy hell Porte - my PTP sucks againNapoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0
-
Gorka Izaguirre one second shy of Contador - might be in Yellow - Alaphillipe could be about to unseat Contador, as he was 6s inside Izaguirre at the first time check.
I'm not usually supporting Contador, but since there's valuable PTP points at stake...
Gallopin just came in less than a second down on Contador.0 -
Blimey....Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0

Could we not have had this discussion yesterday BEFORE I picked him for PTP? sake! :roll:0 -
Impressed by Alaphilippe...
Glad Contador delivered as my PTP pick. Shame stage wins get you only a few points...0 -
Whoop! Whoop!0

I'm a lot less confident in Alaphilippe's ability to hold on to the overall now you've posted that.0 -
I picked the wrong Izaguirre. Easy mistake.0

Presumably he doesn't have to drink it before the next stage. Nice little extra though0

If the top 5 is tight after Saturday then stage 8 could be a brilliantly attacking day.0 -

Which two of those eight are you discounting? I'd be surprised if Gilbert did well on the Couillolle, but the rest are all in with a chance.0
