A stage win made Haussler the 13th top scorer - Brice Feillu was the best, just edging out Kloden ahead of Andy Schleck, Nocentini and Pellizotti.

Only 7 teams chose Levi Leipheimer but the impact of his DNS today will certainly be felt. The 10th best scorer of the race overall so far, he features in the line up of the Top 2 teams - EDTeam and Team Matt493 - aswell as 3 other teams in the Top 25 after Stage 12. The low scoring Geslin comes in as replacement for EDTeam but Matt493's team is now down to just 7 scoring riders.

Looking at the Top 10, it would look like EDTeam are extending their lead but while Matt493 is slipping away, the teams of Kami, jack888 and trueatfirstlight are starting to make up a bit of ground.

Nicki Sorensen took the stage and became the top scorer as well - a shame that nobody selected either him of the 2nd best scorer of the day Yellow Jersey Rinaldo Nocentini. Kloden was the 3rd best scorer, while 4th was Pellizotti - benefiting from the breakaway. Tony Martin really is 'slipping' - 'only' the equal 5th top scorer today.

EDTeam are continuing to pull away - now the only team to average over 1000 pts per stage. Oh and my team made it into the top 10!

It's been said over and over again - in fact ever since January when PCM.daily revealed that Cyanide was working on a new engine for PCM10: It'll (probably) bring a lot of changes.

Cyanide usually checks the Suggestions Threads which always pop up at PCM.daily and the Official Forum - but this year, they've taken some initiatives themselves. They've created a new forum solely for suggestions (which again highlightens the fact that we can expect quite a lot from PCM10) where you can post any ideas that you may have.

You can find the forum and threads here. Before posting anything, make sure to read the rules.

We have a new leader! The charge of EDTeam has ended the 9 stage run of Team Matt493. They are 2 of only 3 teams who have maintained an average of 1000 points per stage.

Rinaldo Nocentini was the top scorer today once again, ahead of Tony Martin, Andreas Kloden, Andy Schleck and Brice Feillu. With a high position in GC out of the question for Mark Cavendish, the stage winner was only the 55th best scorer today.
