2009 Tour de France

Record : 25-37, -51.6 units

Hope to get my back in the next week.

Hushovd took back the green jersey with his 12 points this morning. Cavendish will probably win his last stage tomorrow and then quit, he got lost today finishing 23.44 minutes behind the winner on a soso rainy stage.

Hushovd and Farrar to rank, you'll get them @ 5-6

I've been thinking the same for quite a while now even though I faded Cav in the green jersey competition. Now, the only way we get to save our asses is if Hushovd pulls a miracle and wins it.

I've been looking at the standing and Cavendish has been disqualified.  He intentionaly tried to crash Hushovd in the fence with less than 10 meters in the race, if you can find the video it's obvious. Therefore, he lost all his points and Hushovd took the 13th place.  Cavendish was relied to the 154th place with the same time as the pack.

He's now 18 points back will an illegal move on a bunch sprint.  Columbia lost the yellow by their fault and the green belongs to Hushovd. I don't think they can argue on this one, Cavendish will go home tonight, he has very little chance to take 18 points on Hushovd with only 2 plains stage and for sure Hushovd will have more point than Cavendish on stage 19.

Article 7 :

Voluntary obstruction and unauthorized manoeuvres are forbidden and will be penalised. To ensure that sprints proceed according to regulations, riders who deviate from the line they have chosen will be subject to the penalties provided for in the table of penalties.

Anyway up Verbier

Sastre to win!

On Cavendish - yeah, after today, he will be wanting to reach Paris to get another one over Farrar. It's tempting to do that big play now - but what of his odds when the stage comes around? Still around $2? Hmmm, I'll think on that. The only way Cavendish doesn't go home is if he is eliminated.

No doubt the survivers of the break will take this stage as noone will force the tempo till the last climb and Verbier isn't really steep. I like Cancellara to try the break.

.3 unit Cancellara @ $126
.2 unit Devolder @ $126

This young Colombian rider is going to be a gun. He might try the break too.

.5 unit Uran @ $51

Good luck!
