23km and flat, less than 25 mins for the winner I'd think. There won't be big winners to today, but there might be losers. Obviously Sanchez is going to take another hit. Contador maybe too, 'cause there just aren't big strong guys or TTists in that Saxo Team. Another 30secs for the steak man? Which means no gifts ala Giro, he needs to be aggresive and put some time into other riders.
Anyone noticed that on the RCUK fantasy thing RAWK is the second ranked mini league. Early days, one stage at a time, it's a marathon not a sprint, but good going for a footy site. Well played lads.
The only way is up for the RAWK union, because I don't think many looked into the rules as much as we did - the GC submission / first day transfer trick should give us edge over most of other leagues (although only 3 (?) of us did it in the end, rest of ye are just lazy sods). I think the bigging up of Gilbo we did in the thread made many get him, that's why we're up. Sharing is caring.
If one of us gets some of the prizes, I'll be made up!
Solid but unspectacular start by myself. Made some good calls (Gilbo, Hushovd, Rojas, Vino [although wanted a bit more from him], No to Cav and Petacchi and Spartacus) and few bad ones (Samu over Cadel, not getting Tony Martin in, about which I was 50/50, but decided not to). Martin for Schecklet, Cuddles for Samu and I'd be rocking some awesome 120 points. Really should've gotten Martin, because I've been bigging up HTC for the TTT for about a week.
Oh well, gonna wait it up now.
