    WooHoo!
    Farrar 1st and Rojas 2nd. Rojas is proving to be an inspired/very lucky choice for my "I've got four points left, who will I pick" choice.

    I think I came second last in the fantasy giro so this is already a victory for me....

    thanks - unfortunately I have to admit its down to dumb luck rather than any special insight (Although I fancy Gilbert to do the business today!)

    Ssh! The national points leader can't profess it being down to luck. At least not in public.

    And with tomorrow's stage seeming to suit Cavendish down to the ground, I'm not feeling very secure in 10th!

    The scoring in this league is bull****.
    I have the yellow jersey, green jersey and another guy in the top10, and I still am placed nowhere in this league.
    Very annoyed.

    Is there a prize for whoever has the least number of cyclists left at the end? I'm only down two for now, but there's still two weeks to go.

    there's something definitely a bit off on the scoring.. i have 4 of the top 10 GC riders, the yellow + green jerseys and am languishing in the 50s... if you take frank schleck and cadel evans, they're 3 seconds apart on GC yet Evans has twice as many points. i know Evans has tended to ride nearer the front but it seams a bit much... anyway. tis just a bit off fun

    oh and ive lost wigo, kern, and chavanel might as well be out.. next year

    It seems fair enough to me, and clearly laid out here -so you only get 25 points for your rider being in yellow if he finished in the bunch, but winning a stage will get you 150

    never really looked at it properly... GC points are only really gained at the end, so there should be a big change in the standings on the last day... still think the stage points are a bit off.. 150 for first is fine but dont think there should be that many points for 5-15th. especially on stages where the GC riders tend to roll in happy to be on the same time as each other. . . anyway, i guess it all becomes part of the tactics

    Do these riders not know the importance of this fantasy league? Some of my lads really aren't pulling their weight at all. Brajkovic and Garate are out. Terpstra has done sod all. Does anyone have his email address? I need to tell him to get in among the placings. LL Sanchez finally payed me back for inclusion in the squad.
