Tom Kunich
obviously pressed but my suspicions are that he can at LEAST hold that
position into Paris especially considering that he is a hell of a lot faster
in the 56 km TT than the other hopefuls.

I was impressed with the Saunier Duval team the way they played around
at the head of the race. I hadn't seen that since Festina in the 1997
Tour.

Taking into account that "other hopefuls" include Evans and Menchov
I'd seriously question your last statement. Even the closest rival
Kohl is not a week TTer.
Mark
I'm thinking Evans is no threat to Vandevelde's /third place/....
...given that Evans is in first.

You believe that Crash Evans is going to keep his health?

Bob, I have to question why you keep posting these summaries. They seem
a bit off-topic for rbr: no mentions of drunkenness, politics or sex; no
graphs; no reference to the number of guns various riders may be
equipped with, or to which regular posters are actually computer
simulations. Furthermore, you fail to use the word "dumbass" at all.
Really, I have to question where you're going with this.
Thanks,

My only question for Bob is how long it takes for him to compile the stats.
His posts are one of the few I actually read. I can't help but think Millar
is grumbling under his breath dopee', dopee'...

My question for Bob is why he puts in '...' when he could just as
easily leave in 4th and 8th (and maybe even 11, 12 and 15)?
Otherwise, outstanding job. For me, also, one of my 'must read' posts
each day.

Great posts like yours, Ryan, make it all worthwhile! Thanks.

If nothing goes wrong, about 30 seconds. Of course that's not counting the
hours of programming during the winter, but that's fun.

I'm trying to extract the interesting bits rather than repeat the top of the GC,
but I'm always open to suggestions for improvements. Would top 10 + favourites
be more useful?
If I can select the list of favourites accurately there won't be any gaps after stage 21!

Thanks.

I have added Vande Velde (or is it Vandevelde?) to my list of favourites
even though he is 72nd in my rankings. As the list is generated automatically
he would not normally have appeared even if I had selected 40 favourites.
He seems to be performing well outside his norm.

Thanks Bob,
I find these useful. I refer to your posts before reading other reports
on TdF.
Thanks

Do they make argyle cooler boxes ?

It's his first year as a team leader.
The automation is a good system. I don't think it's a good idea to add
random good performers to the favourites halfway through the race. All
races would end with the favourites on top.
Bob Martin
My thoughts exactly! In this case I was bowing to pressure ... ;-)

Bob,
Any chance you could slightly change the "display favorites" algorithm slightly?
For a bunch of these summaries, it's been something like
1
2
3
....
5
6
....
8
etc.
If there's a gap of just one, wouldn't it make sense to just display that name?

Perhaps for the 3 grand tours, do the top 10 instead of top 3. That'll
probably take care of Alan's problem in most cases. On the other hand,
the distinction between favourites and surprises will be diminished.

And recode the TOM9000 insult algorithm in obfusticated Perl.
Bob Martin
Should I just add another section showing the top 10 on GC?
Alan Hoyle
Is there another type of Perl?
William Asher
Yes. But randomize the sucker so they aren't in order. People have been
getting a little too complacent and that would be just what they need to
shake them up a bit.

Do you still think that Evans is no threat to Vande Velde's third
place?
Mark
Yes, it does seem that Cadel has risen (fallen?) to the challenge.
