[quote]How is the top ten after stage three split between the three groupsets? This is what I think it is. I guess Valverde is on super recrod, right?


Assume you mean Super Record :roll:

Another winner for Campag.....and excuse me, but Mr Voeckler is KOM...and the stage winner yesterday....and the current Yellow Jersey......oh and I almost forgot Thor Husovd.....all use which famous quality Italian groupset :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't care what they are riding, their power is just out of this world. Seeing Feuillu from behind as he was counter-attacking at the end of that breakaway :shock:

If you look closely, the top Campag sponsored riders are still on normal record. Guess they don't need an 11th sprocket huh, me neither!

But yes, Sylv you are right. The power of Feillu was quite impressive. He shouldn't have tried to go straight past the other two though. He should have sat on, leaving Dumolin in the wind with just Friskyhorn (however it's spelt!) to beat. Which as much as I wanted Garmin to win, I'm sure he wouldn't have beaten Feillu had he ridden more cannily.

I should think you will get a pretty awesome display out out of Cancellara today... does Millar have a chance? Probably not, but he does have a slight time advantage, so maybe he can just hold him off. Plus if it rains again its anyones guess, Millar kicked everyones ass in 2003 in the wet final TT (yes he was on the juice, but so was everyone else!).

That looked amazing though - it was like he was carrying too much speed to waste it by braking when he got to them
And the sprint ...

Normally they introduce the new stuff with the "lesser" riders, but often very experienced domestiques who will give the most useful feedback. They listed those on Super Record the other day on Eurosport but I can't remember who was on it, the only big name that I remember was McEwan.

only Pereiro and i think Acosta from GCE are Super Record, which basically means its too cr@p to be adopted by everyone. and i am not running to no bunker!!!!!

however, it has to be said, SRAM dont look bad.
