Okay, lost twin bro, you are the one who really doesn't have a life. Mate is just doing something else I guess (having a life)

@Ian Butler - 
Amgen Tour of California Stage 6
A pretty hilly profile today, doesn't really suit our riders. Let's see what happened.
The BotD was a pretty weak, and it also didn't seem to work because that the riders didn't take any relays for each other. They easily got caught by Leopard. khm.. RadioShack.
The final climb wasn't too hard, but surprisingly some pretty strong attacks came, from guess who! Andy Schleck! The strange thing is that he attacked his teammate, Klöden, who was wearing the yellow!
And Andy Schleck wins after his numerous attacks, beating Statina and Ponzi. The pack finished several seconds behind them, but nothing serious. Sutty kept his 8th.

@fcancellara - Thanks, always trying to get good screens, despite my bad graphics card. 
@Ian Butler - I don't thinks so.
@Miguel - Ché? Racing, when not in TDF? 
A short flat transfer stage before the Cervinia.
The daily BotD was a pretty average one, with Hayman being the most intrresting maybe, but nothing special. They established themselves with a gap of 5min.
The peloton didn't take it easy today, Garmin and Astana were both really active in the chase, working for Farrar and Bozic respectively. Our riders took it easy as always, protecting the leaders.
Just as the pack caught the break, Mellberg fancied a move, and the DS didn't stop him. He went, and created a bit of room between him and the pack.
At the 1km mark he was still infront, but the peloton was closing quickly. It was really close, but the winner was...
Elia Favili! The sprinter's jersey wearer beated Urán and Scarponi!
Spoiler Basically the only riders we didn't want to get bonification, and in Favili's case sprint points. 
Sad news to the end, Bradley Wiggins had to withdraw from the race, because of an injury.

You guys are having the same opinions as me!
Amgen Tour of California Stage 7
The queen stage of the race. It was pretty uninteresting I have to say.
A big break today, but with no big names, mostly just CT level riders.... They got a pretty big gap on the first climb, an they kept pretty much of it during the 2nd one. However, this only proved to be partly enough for them, as the pack caught them right on the line.
It was Jacek Morajko winning the stage, ahead of Rosskopf and Petrov. The favourites stayed together, Jakab and Sutton were also in the first group.

@Miguel - Indeed, thanks.
Here it comes the mighty Cervinia. The first real mountain stage of the Giro...
Today was a bit strange BotD wise, as the break only came together at the foot of the first climb, but it was pretty strong too with Froome and Cataldo in it. SpiderTech tried to keep the break close, but the lack of mountain domestiques striked us and the break's lead reached 4 minutes. The first climb was a pretty easy one for the peloton, and around 45 riders reached the top together.
As soon as we hit the first slopes of the Cervinia, Scarponi attacked, the favourite group upped the pace, and the Maglia Rosa was in trouble. Wiles lost the contact, but he was still able to climb pretty well in his own pace.
After a couple of bad attacks, Scarponi finally broke away, and Puskaric decided to pace the group after him, as Wiles still down. However, the Maglia Rosa did great and got close to the back of the very select group of 5. The last 3 kilometers were flat, and our croatian did well there, breaking away from the other, who were joined by the race leader, who was fighting to keep his jersey.
And it was Scarponi taking the win from a great solo! At the end Puskaric came close and finished halfa minute down. Basso and Urán came next at 56', with Van Garderen, Antón and Wiles coming in at 1'05. Scarponi took over the Rosa.
| 1 | Michele Scarponi | Lampre - ISD | 5h12'43 | | 2 | Kristjan Puskaric | SpiderTech - Cervélo | + 30 | | 3 | Ivan Basso | Liquigas - Cannondale | + 56 | | 4 | Rigoberto Urán | Sky Procycling | s.t. | | 5 | Tejay Van Garderen | BMC Racing Team | + 1'05 | | 6 | Igor Antón | Euskaltel - Euskadi | s.t. | | 7 | Jack Wiles | SpiderTech - Cervélo | s.t. | | 8 | Dario Cataldo | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team | + 2'04 | | 9 | Jakob Fuglsang | RadioShack - Nissan | + 2'16 | | 10 | Thomas De Gendt | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. |

@TMM - There is nothing to complain about.
Spoiler Wiles got a bit more protection than Kristjan
@fcancellara - Sure thing mate!
Amgen Tour of California Stage 8
A short criterium in LA to finish thing off.
The pace was unbelieveable the whole stage long, SpiderTech kept things together, using every rider of the team. As the usual fluke ToC classic sprint started, Pal jumped onto Guarnieri's wheel, overtook him turning into the last kilometer...
...and finished it off by a surprising ease! Great stage by Pal! That was his first win our colors, congratulations!
