Rojas and Cavendish didn't make the cut.

Cav keeps green...very sensible these French juries.

They know better than to expect Schlevans and the Accountant to put on
a show for the Champs.

They both drop 20 points and everything stays the same.

No it doesn't, they both have 20 points less. (Sorry I haven't contradicted you
all day and I was getting withdrawal symptoms)

They were *just* outside the time limit again today. Yesterday Rojas
made it in before the bus, easily, and didn't get a 20 point penalty,
which narrowed the gap to Cavendish for the green jersey. Very strange
that Rojas didn't put in a little more effort on the last kilometre
today. If he had, he would won the green by 5 points and the Champs
sprint would have been a lot more interesting.

It really irritated me that the tv coverage only included a brief shot of the
bus arriving, I suppose they were so overwhelmed by a French win they didn't
think anything else was interesting.

This allowed me to do something very fun, which is...calcluate a
virtual winner of the Points Jersey!

The jury assigned point penalties to 89 riders on Thursday, according
to Cyclingnews, for being technically HD, but kept them in the race.
That's everyone from Richie Porte back.
On Friday, the laughing group again got a points penalty for the same
reason. Sergio Miguel Moreira appears to have been the last finisher
to make the official time cut; 85th-place Gutierrez was the first in
technical HD, I think.

If you wipe all the riders from the Points Classification who went HD
on each day, the virtual green jersey belongs to...Cadel Evans! To my
surprise, he's fifth in the points standings. He gained a few places
this week due to the points penalties and some high finishes. Sanchez
appears to be the virtual runner-up, and he cannot catch Evans, as
there are only 65 points left in the final stage.

So if Cadel Evans finishes in Paris, I'll start referring to him as
the virtual winner of the green jersey.

So if he wins the Grenoble TT and takes yellow in Paris he could be the first
rider in history to wear the chartreuse jersey. Sorry...I'll get my coat.
