The problem is that I try to put the Top 10 and then the rest in a spoiler, but the spoiler only covers #11, even when I select the whole thing.

Scorchio
Nae bother. I thought there was likely a technical reason, but worth checking. Looking forward to the upcoming stages.
 
Luis Leon Sanchez
Looking forward to the next few stages to see if we can get better than second. Will be interesting to see the climbers battling it out in the first few mountain stages.

Stage 3


i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0757_zps1acb0cbb.jpg
We are back, with Stage 3! An attack on the last climb should probably see the winner.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0758_zps3b7fcf0f.jpg
Turner (HSD) and Buchacek (BAU) are the first attackers.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0759_zps75bc8c39.jpg
The American just wins the Cat. 4.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0760_zpse98d5e77.jpg
Poutsma (CJP) joins the leaders to make the break of the day.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0761_zps1750026b.jpg
Buckacek wins the intermediate sprint.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0762_zps2991c2bf.jpg
Turner (HSD) also wins the Cat. 2 climb, while the Bauknecht man gets the Cat. 3.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0763_zps264d8335.jpg
Pozdnyakov (SYB) is the first to crash today.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0764_zps77a46465.jpg
Then Williams (IGS) punctures.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0765_zpse0959c73.jpg
Jensen (TJM) also falls.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0766_zps36496d66.jpg
22km: The first attacks come from the peloton. The riders are Sulzburger (DPC), Boily (A&V) and Agarkov (ISD). They are brought back.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0767_zps5b755cbe.jpg
18km: Skjerping (TJM) chases the breakaway solo. He leads Sulzburger, Agarkov and Barker (UKY).

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0768_zpsa62bfdb1.jpg
14km: The Norweigan is first over the climb, ahead of Barker and then the peloton, which has safely swallowed up the break.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0769_zps8081497b.jpg
10km: 2 Massive splits! The front is still the same, while the peloton has split into groups 57, 53 and 81 from the front back.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0770_zpscc2c358e.jpg
Barker is still chasing the Norweigan, who you can see up the road.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0771_zpsbd1079ce.jpg
Skjerping takes it solo! Can Yanto Barker hold off the mad rush from the peloton?

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0772_zps16fda83c.jpg
Pinto, Goesinnen (DPC) and Totschnig (TIR)lease the peloton in under the red kite. The yellow jersey wil have to come from a long way back.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0773_zps295b347d.jpg
But in comes Sabido, sprinting like a madman! He is going at 60km/h, but it will only be for 3rd, as Barker crosses the finishing line.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0774_zps6c1c71a0.jpg
Sabido finishes ahead of the peloton (with the same time though) lead through by his teammate Pinto and Clarke (SYB).

Great second place from Yanto Grin
 
Luis Leon Sanchez
Unfortuantely the break won. But the team are happy with 3rd and 4th. A win still managing to stay out of grasp but three podiums and Pinto and Sabido looking strong gives me good reason to be satisfied and pleased.

We return with the Team Time Trial! Surely Bissell will have to take this one.

The Race


i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0776_zps35c6fc68.jpg
IGS are the first team to go. They don't look like they have practised their shape, but how will they fair time wise? They finish with 15'23" at the time check and 31'03" at the finish.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0777_zpsadf164d6.jpg
Roubaix are next, and they look much more organised. It doesn't seem to have too much of an effect though, only 1" better at the time check. However, they fade badly and are down by 22" at the end of the course.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0778_zps1f78b0f3.jpg
Synergy-Baku set the new best time at the checkpoint by 4".

But ISD have other ideas. 10" better at the check and 4" better than IGS at the finish.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0781_zpsa4a29cd0.jpg
Amore & Vita are next team to post a challenging time. 4" back at the checkpoint, while UK Youth are 1" further.

The Ukranians are just 1 second behind compatriots ISD at the finish. Ukraine looking good. (Woo for my mum's country Pfft)

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0782_zps8290ed57.jpg
Bissell set off, and are ready to go. This is the stage where they are favourites, and they know that they have to win. The Americans annihilate ISD and take the lead by 11"

Tirol are now 2nd at the check by 1" over ISD.

Raleigh finish the course in 30'44" - a new best time. Meridiana get into 2nd, 7" behind the Brits.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0783_zpsadbdae27.jpg
Bissell come home with a time of..................................................
30'44"! Same as Raleigh. Disappointing for the American team.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0784_zpsd2fd6b19.jpg
After a good time at the checkpoint, Tirol................. Finish 16th by 43".

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Continental%20Tour%20de%20France/PCM0785_zps103e7d4f.jpg
We all know that Orica-GreenEDGE are a good TTT team, but how will their Continental counterparts, Drapac, do?

Wow! And we weren't expecting that! The Aussies take the win by 2 seconds!

The Rider
A good effort from ISD not doubt Popkov was pulling the team around the course. No stage wins yet but at least we have been on the attack!

--- Also here is a dancing banana for Cycleman's Ukrainian mum...www.sherv.net/cm/emo/funny/2/dance.gif With love from ISD!!!!!! (Any extra points for this....huh....huh!!!)
 
mvhoogdalem
Just go home Bissell.... the only stage with a huge chance to win and they blow it.
 
Cycleman123
No extra points Pfft. Bissell can still win in ITT stages Wink

Well guys PCM crashed at the end of Stage 5. It wasn't bugged or anything, just had the graphics up too high I think Embarassed But you know how it is, sometimes you just can't be bothered to do it again. I'm going to play a bit for Fabio Melani for now but I'm determined to do this tonight Wink.

Team Raleigh with an excellent TTT effort, well proud of the lads Cool. Much better than I expected to be honest, thought we'd be on the receving end of a kicking. Pleased to have all riders in the top 100 overall GC. Fingers crossed for continued good form. #happymanager

We're back! Thought we were done? Oh no, the Continental Tour de France returns after what seems like forever with a hilly Stage 5.


The Race


i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0002_zps7b6d09fc.jpg

With no attacks before the first categorised climb, Buchacek attacks to extend his KoM classification lead.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0003_zps733ad29c.jpg

He will not make the eventual break of the day, consisting of Hoekstra (CJP), Markaskard (OHR) and Ochoa (CO4).

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0004_zps159c7d61.jpg

The Colombian wins the Sprint uncontested.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0005_zps0cb97537.jpg

The 2nd climb comes much later in the day, and is won by Karkaskard.

It's not all good news for the Norweigan team as Jacobsen crashes. He will continue the race but finish far behind the peloton.

On the penultimate climb Ochoa takes the only points on offer.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0007_zps65f50dc9.jpg

Ochoa is the last of the escapees to be caught, and surprisingly there are no attacks on the final (Cat. 4) climb, which Oliphant rolls over first.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0008_zps42c13096.jpg

Remme (TJM) picks a bad time to crash, just 10 kilometres out.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0009_zpsffd7aa26.jpg

As we head to the sprint there are 3 main trains.

Synergy-Baku: Clarke, Craven, Manuan
Euskadi: Orbe, Iparrigirre, Barbero
Raleigh: Oliphant, Blain, Briggs

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0010_zps82520ce8.jpg

Iparrigirre and Blain provide great leadouts, but Barbero has come out to the side just before his sprint. What is he thinking!? Manuan is licking his lips as he sees all the open road in front of him. Despite starting from behind, he could still have a chance.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0011_zpsb831fd3d.jpg

Barbero's decision to go wide has seriously backfired. He is now blocked by Blain with Briggs just leaving his wheel. Manuan is going fastest, but doesn't seem to have much energy left.

i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag38/Abbiati123/Album%20For%20Albums/Conti%20TdF/PCM0012_zpsac20a55d.jpg
And finally it's a win for Raleigh! Graham Briggs brings home the bacon while Euskadi's manager will be fuming at Barbero's race tactics.

Anyway, green jersey is coming closer and closer to the Basque region. Who would ever have thought of that?
