ˇfurst rest day recap! things pretty tight currently at the top of both the "classic" and "stage hunter" leaderboards. same top three in both:
1. Hermann Telinho-team Time do Velinho
2. Eddie-team Ranbaxy's Castanets
3. Shad-team Shad's mess
on both leaderboards, there are a handful of teams just off the podium that are within a good day/stage win from said podium.
this next week has some...interesting stages, starting with the itt stage 10. that course has a bushelful of turns and if the rain/wind
comes out to play, could blow things up somewhat terribly.
all the top teams in the "classic" game still have all their riders. some diphthong is currently 5th in the "classic" and missing three riders already.
expect that hoser to plummet down the standings soon enuff. personally, can't wait till stage 20. that potentially looks like the best gt stage of the year.
