WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Very happy.
Do French fans care about victories in the Netherlands?

agonizingly close. Good to see Dany Pate considered among the favorites

Damn that Kingston! Seriously close though as you say congrats to rjc, lets see how long Coppel holds on to it. |

Decent first stage here... Schädlich showed that he will be a very strong rider next season. Contador did a bit better than expected, and my other 2 GC hopes Madrazo and Ardila also performed according to expectations. So a good stage, though with some luck Schädlich could've scored me some points here :-)

Interesting to see how some of my riders will handle Le Tour and Tour of Slovenie at the same time. 
If I take a look at the field, Hoste did quite good with 25th.

Fuglsang and Pecharroman are obviously resting themselves for the mountains |

Bennati starting well, Boonen dissapoints there, but then again sprinters generally does dissapoint :-p
Might be only me Smowz, but isn't it spelled Boonen and Greipel? Dunno if it's intentional or not

Good reporting. Nice to see Bbox on the pictures. Sad to see Greipel fail once again. He's only here because of his stats. Was easier to get picked for Le Tour that way.

Awesome stuff by Sieberg. Too bad Van Stayen wasn't able to stay ahead.

6th from Lavoine is pretty good here. I assume it's the only time he will come that close :-)

Going pretty much as expected so far, although I wish Uran would ride closer to the front of the peloton

Great stuff from Jaime Alberto Castañeda. Any points in the sprints are very welcome. These pan flat stages are the only ones he'll have any chance though.
Should be able to get a rider in the breaks most days like here as we seek to make it stage wins in all the GT's. Gomez Marchante may even pinch one in the mountains. |

I suspect that the combination of Meyer and Granjel Cabrera won't be as successfull as Grillo/Granjel Cabrera was. A lot tougher field here too.

Great positioning by Corioni. He picked the best wheel of all and even though he couldn't compete with the rest of the sprinting aces, a 4th the place in the first sprinting stage is a very motivating result.

Great lead out by Mori(assumes it was him)! So close in scoring a win there. Granjel Cabrera is doing really well in the these hilly/flat stages.

It was Mori - mattiasgt.
CT: No crashes on that one, hills a bit disappointing as well!

He shares the points for it, doesn't he? |

Aww. Hopefully no injuries! I feel for the captains there. Madrazo went down it seems, but both Contador and Ardila stayed up for now. And a good result from Lavoine...
Fingers crossed, that this was the only bad crash of this Tour.
