Oh, I don't know - Basso, I think, tomorrow.
|
Fontfroide
|
I have no idea really. Everyone is doing Valverde and Schleck, or nearly, so I guess I will go for Gesink.
Should have stuck with Cancellara, won some points. So what is so good about being fearless anyway.
Anyway, until I change my mind tomorrow morning, Gesink.

HuwB

I'm pretty certain a break will stick, on at least one of the next two days and either Dave Montcoutie, or Dave de la Fuentes, will be in at the finish.
Stage 8: Valverde (but I don't believe it)
Stage 9: David de la Fuentes (or 9 - Joaquim Rodriquez ) 
|
Fontfroide
|
Stage 9
Obviously not going to be A. Schleck (stomach cramps?), so could you change me to
Samuel Sanchez.
|
levi
|
KATHY could i have Mosquera for stage 11 and Valverde for stage 14 because a.scleck has bowed out.
|
Ralphnorman
|
Mosquera for stage 12 for me please
|
kathy
|
Slim pickings today!
Well done, Fontfroide, for getting a point.
MJM's KOD on Vino seems to be working well

Jackov

With A schleck out, can I switch those picks to SamuSanchez
|
HuwB
|
I have soooo lost interest.
David Millar, please.
|
Fontfroide
|
Somehow, things are not quite living up to my expectations. I can't figure out anyone to pick over others. And I am not sure I care too much. but forward.
Gilbert today.
|
levi
|
stage14 seeing A.SCHLECK has gone home i need a replacement i am thinking 1 of 3 VALVERDE,S.SANCHEZ AND MOSQUERA i think i will go with VALVERDE please KATHY.
|
Fontfroide
|
Stage 11
Julien El Fares
I mean why not? Who knows who will be in the escape and will win the stage.
|
kathy
|
No points today.
Cancellara for me tomorrow
|
Enchantress
|
I'm inclined to think a break will succeed, much as they did today (stage 10).
So with that in mind....
Stage 11 f/p = Philippe Gilbert
|
Bartali
|
11 Samu
12, 13 & 14 Basso
|
billgull
|
F/P:
Stage 11 = Samuel Sanchez
|
mr shifter
|
Stage 11........Alexander Kolobnev
|
HuwB
|
Certain teams are now all out for the breakaway win. Others have their men on a short leash.
Ho-hum, pin in the roster again.
Matti Breschel please, as Saxo get ever more desperate.
(Maybe, between me and Mr S, that will be total KOD for Riis's Rovers! )
|
billgull
|
F/P:
Stage 12 = Ivan Basso
|
Fontfroide
|
Let's see, we got Mosquera a couple of times and Basso twice, plus Sanchez Garate and Valverde. So I guess I will go for
Stage 12 Gesink
In fact while I am at it, with option to change of course, I shall pick him for
Stage 13 Gesink
Stage 14 Gesink
Since I have no idea which one of the top guys will be able to take on the others. I must admit I am really looking forward to the next few days of racing. I figure they have to do some racing, non?
|
Enchantress
|
First, thanks to Gilbert for those 2 points the other day sprinting behind Farrar
As for stage 12, with a couple MTF's to come, it looks like a break could be allowed to get away but who knows for sure?
F/P stage 12 = Don Alejandro
|
mr shifter
|
FP = Fools Paradise, so here we go again
Stage 12........Ivan Basso
but can he get rid of the "Champion" wheelsucker.
I have my fingers crossed that this will be the start of a proper GT race.   
|
kathy

Sorry about the delay folks. Finally got round to doing the tables. Well done, Enchantress, for picking Gilbert yesterday.

Valverde for me tomorrow - who esle?
|
HuwB

No point in following the crowd, after my disasterous Vuelta. Left field picks all the way to Madrid for me.
Luckily, there is one contender left, that folks treat like a leper, so, it's Cadel Evans for me for stage 12. please, Kathy.
(although I think Moncoutie will make another bid for glory and KOM points)
|
levi
|
there's been no sign of KREUZIGER so could i change to GESINK tomorrow please KATHY.is kreuziger still in the race?
|
kathy

Points are hard to come by in this Vuelta. Well done, Fontfroide, for getting the solitary point today.

Sorry, Enchantress, picks have to be in before the start of the stage.
Well, done, Mr S, who has increased his lead with his inspired pick today.

Cuddles to pull a Floyd tomorrow.
|
Enchantress
|
Stage 14 F/P = Valverde
Someone will have to go for it and Don Alejandro can surely outsprint them all in the mountains if they finish in a bunch.

st14 xav tondo please kathy. unless the tendonitis gets nasty and he packs. then samsan. damn, that's not how it works, is it.

Three riders were not at the start today: Fabian Cancellara (Saxo Bank), Xavier Tondo of Andalucia, and, we have heard, Ignatus Konovalovas of Cervelo.
|
maffy

Xavi Tondo drops out
The riders are now signing in, with the first to arrive, as always, being the Andalucía-Cajasur team. The team, which is directed by Paco Cabello and Juan Martínez Oliver, will continue to seek exposure today on it's home turf. They've lost an important rider, though, in the form of TONDO VOLPINI Xavier (021), who has dropped out of the race due to tendinitis.

I did see - you changed your FP from Cunego to ..... I can't remember! Valverde I think??

Yeah....KOD'd, remember? It's working like a dream, again.
To be honest, I'm finding this all a bit too frustrating.
I know I picked Cunego early, but I also guessed he dropped all that time, to win, today.
His form is as good as the top 5 guys.
My bones told me he was a cert.....if he stayed in the race.
My only doubt.....and it won.
I think Millar will be my last FP, as, ICBB to figure out how to pick anyone other than a guy who's sure to be riding to the finish and we don't have the option of waiting so see who takes the start.

kathy

Final week 2 table. Please check your picks and scores. Jackov starts to reel in Mr S. Maffy, I allowed Sanchez seeing as Tondo didn't start.
