Better from rabo! Napatalino is certainly in danger of missing the time limit! |

I read Napolitano got dropped off the Katusha line real early... is he in any danger of not making the cut? At fastest time +25%, I would think a solo rider dropped in the first 1/3rd of the race might struggle. |

I've a question. Teams like Katusha don't risk a lot of getting some riders out of time limit by dropping them so early on during the stage?
Beat me to it.  |

Brilliant job by Arashiro to keep himself upright in the field, with how he's racing the tour he has now passed Dan Martin and Rein Taaramae and is my second favorite rider.

What I am seeing at the moment is mistakes are really costly - Rabo have pretty much kept their losses the same to Caisse and Katusha.

Thats a good point, without a max loss limit, a team could conceivable all miss the time limit.....
If that happened I think they would be reinstated though. |

Big disappointment for Menchov and Gesink!
57 seconds on Katusha - what is that going to be on the top times? |

If a whole team is outside the time limit ASO will overrule and let them race tomorow anyway.
