With a team stacked full of sprinters, Matt has a solid grasp on the yellow jersey in the early going. And he also has Rasmussen waiting in the wings for the mountain stages, which is more than a little disconcerting for the rest of us. But there's still a long way to go. Which is good, because there's a lot of ground that needs to be made up if we're going to make this thing a race. Alberto's team of 8 Belgians and 1 Slovenian is off to a strong start too, and was especially impressive in taking 1st and 2nd in stage 2.
General Classification after stage 3:
Matt - 683Alberto - 449
Cheryl - 366
Jonny G - 304
Mrs. Dr. - 262
Charlene - 251
Tenacious V - 192
Mr. Dr. - 165
Cycling Dave - 124
Swatty - 51
Jonny B - 23
Johnny S - 4
The usual spate of crashes during the opening stages has claimed its first victim in Tomas Vaitkus, but I think everyone still has a full complement of 9 riders. My choice of Daniele Bennati as ace sprinter hasn't exactly panned out so far. He doesn't have a single point yet and is hurting pretty bad after being caught up in yesterday's wreck. But he's still racing, so there's still hope. Congrats to Johnny S for finally making it onto the scoreboard today, after being shut out in the first three days.

fine.
but what about canmore!
slow and steady wins the race.
Yeah - what about your race?
How'd it go?
I can't understand why my team of Kazakhs with French interpreters isn't dominating. Is it the Italian I through in to spice up the mix? Is this creating some kind of regional or ethnic tension? Could someone please explain.
By Italian, do you mean German? Perhaps less ethnic tension than inattentiveness. No worries, though. Vino will get you a heap of points soon enough.
