Paris-Nice Stage 5 - Go Westra

It was tough going on the way up the Montee Laurent Jalabert today. It's a steep one, and the big guns were taking no prisoners. Richie Porte was hammering away on the front for much of the climb. And while he made sure his Team Leader, Bradley Wiggins was comfy, he didn't care much for those he was putting the hurt on. Out the back were the likes of Frank Schleck, Ivan Basso, Denis Menchov, Jani Brajkovic, and Tony Martin. Still hanging in there were Leipheimer, Valverde, Teej Van Geej, and Tony Martin. Still hanging in there were Leipheimer, Valverde, and the man who would sneak off to win the stage, Leiuwe Westra.

Westra came within six seconds of the Yellow Jersey, but thanks to his showboating antics before the finish, it's Bradley's for at least another day.

In the Velogames world, I'm happy to say that the Bile Beans are at the top of the table.

Tomorrow should be a sprint, I think I might transfer a few more fastmen onto my squad.
