Nice work Joel, well played!

Rolland's top 10 finish meant I just clung on to 2nd in FS and 6th overall.

Switzerland not quite going the same way thanks to my obsession with the World Champion, might be stage-hunting there!

... Here's the 'Best Possible Purist Team - Climbers Only' (BPPTCO, for short):

38.0 Christopher Froome
31.5 Romain Bardet
30.7 Tejay Van Garderen
22.5 Simon Yates
16.0 Louis Meintjes
4.5 Daniel Teklehaimanot
3.1 Robert Kiserlovski
3.0 Arnaud Courteille

This team would have come in at 149.3 credits and would have yielded 808 points...  39 ...

This is pretty cool..  39 The winning Purist team is built very much along the lines of the 'BPTP' (Best Purist Team Possible)... All but 2 climbers in there...  39

.
And it scored exacly (!) the same as the BPTPCO! 808 points!

Far from it enrique. I am 21 points ahead and I minimised the risk by picking Costa who ruicarvalho had. So in that way Talansky had to outscore Meintjes by 22 points today.

So not gutsy!

Yeah good luck Joel. I'll need a 150km Rolland solo to catch you! (Plus Simon Yates self-combusting, which I hope doesn't happen).

Most of my team were in the break yesterday so not expecting much today, just really want a top 10 finish overall...

Froome/Tejay/Bardet
Rolland/Elissonde/Meintjes
Kiserlovski/Teklehaimanot

Cheers mate, it's all down to Talansky's performance now I think. Or Senechal winning the stage.
