I'm gonna simulate the stage because when I raced it halfway through the stage I was up by 14 minutes.

I hate doing it but simulating the stage made it seem like a 63km ttt rather than a 155km ttt.  Who wants to see me race the 167 km tt.

Stage 5-
It was a long team time trial that gives us a great shot at pushing our lead even farther ahead.
In 5th place 1'37 back was Quickstep.
In 4th place 1'27 back was Katusha.
Raboank put up a good time coming in 3rd place only 43 seconds behind the stages winner. In 2nd was Team Saxobank who managed to finish only 23 seconds behind the stages winner.
It was no surprise who won as we beat every other team with Wiggins leading the team to the finish and with me right on his wheel.
I'm now in 4th place overall and even better is that Vandevelde is in great postion as we head into the flat stage that is full of huge climbs.

when I simulated it, it was only 63 kilometers. But when I raced it, it was the full 155 kilometers. Weird.

I definitely will.  I hope to post 1 more stage today. Then do 3 or 4 stages tonight and then post all of them tomorrow morning. I will try to be done by friday. It won't be too much longer before I'll be gone for a week.

Does this stage look flat?
Well either way I'm racing it now. If i simulate it a sprinter will definitely win. thankfully though I'm racing it so it should be exciting.

Yep, do not simulate, i had Cavendish finish first behind the breakaway. The breakaway won by 6 minutes....
I think we have the same exact 2010 TdF and its ridiculous...stage 11 has cobblestones=) And almost 80% of the stages are mislabeled... |

Stage 6
Today's stage has a couple of tough climbs especially a big climb heading into the finish. Taking a page out of my book, Kroon yet again, broke away on his own picking up even more KOM points.
It was no surprise he was caught on the final climb. In the peloton there were 74 riders left with 5 of them being from Garmin.
I made the decision to go upfront and try to shed some riders. I took control of the peloton and immediately it was down to just over 40 riders.
Somehow though, Kolobnev was able to go off the front and built up a gap of a minute. I was able to get the gap down to just under 30 seconds but he would still get the win.
I managed to finish in 5th place and Dekker finished in 2nd. I was able to shed the leading group down to 29 and some of the favorites including Rogers and Devolder lost a lot of time. The unfortunate news was the abandonment of Wiggins. He wasn't able to finish under the time limit along with 20 other riders.

I can't figure out why Wiggins can't survive in the Mountains despite having a 76 in climbing and having a form of 97.
