Stage 11 - Gadret Gets It

It was lumpy today. Not lumpy enough to make much of a difference to anything though. In the break of the day was Christophe Le Mevel, who was lying third overall. He was in the virtual pink jersey for a bit, but the peleton gradually reeled in the remaining breakers on the run-in to the uphill finish. "Baldy French Climber" John Gadret popped out of the bunch with 300m go, and held on to the line

Gadret is quite a handy little climber with a good hairstyle, and he might have been a possible Bile Beans pick. However I just can't forgive him for what he did to Nico Roche at the Tour last year, so he didn't make it in.

I suppose we better take a look at the league scores, not that it makes good reading for me. It looks like the Drunk Riders may be closing in on the Chanbots, but the Bile Beans still have some work to do.

It should be another stage for the sprinters tomorrow. The big-hitters in the bunch should be happy sit in for a quiet day out; after tomorrow the race gets super-tough.
