The Killer and the Impaler

Updated and corrected [3:57 pm] It turns out Arroyo finished 10th, not Duran as initially reported. Lots of teams have Arroyo, so they all get an extra 55 points. Brad still won the stage. But Dan moves up to second ahead of Chris A and Naomi. More importantly Dan, prince of the cycling pool, moves to the top of the overall standings, with a narrow 7 point lead over Chris A. The results and standings below are now correct. Sorry for the confusion.

A frightening combination. The Killer takes the real stage, ahead of Garzelli and Pellizotti. The Impaler takes the vicarious one, with 290 points. Chris A and Naomi tied for second with 250 apiece. Chris A now leads the overall race, with 793 points, ahead of Brad (753) and Dan, the prince (745).

Thomas Lovkvist is leading the real race. Unfortunately, he somehow got overlooked in the FGBC Giro d'Italia Pool. I caught it only after half teams had already been submitted, and just before the keen eye of Andy, King of the Cycling Pool, caught it and shot me an email inquring about him. Nobody benefits from the 25 maglia rosa bonus points today. Oh well. LA couldn't hold on in the final 2 km. Just in case anyone is wondering. Basso and Levi looked good though. Mick Rogers is right there too. Could be a surprise contender after having disappeared for a while. Turn your dial to Pez for the full report.
