Tour Update Stage 4

I'm watching the replay right now, and am loving every minute of it. I already know the results so I thought I'd post the fantasy update. Please note, since today was a team time trial, every rider on the team is awarded the same number of points. Example: Since Astana finished in first place today, all Astana riders will receive 10 points.

Ryan’s Team

Andy Schleck (Saxo Bank) - 8 points
Tom Boonen (Quick Step)
Christian Vande Velde (Garmin) - 9 points
Lance Armstrong (Astana) - 10 points
Mark Cavendish (Columbia)- 6 points
Jens Voight (Saxo Bank) - 8 points
Bernard Eisel (Columbia) - 6 points
Cadel Evans (Silence Lotto)
Oscar Freire (Rabobank)

Total - 47 Points

Mom’s Team

Carlos Sastre (Cervelo)- 3 points
Alberto Contador (Astana)- 10 points
Levi Leipheimer (Astana)- 10 points
Frank Schleck (Saxo Bank)- 8 points
Denis Menchov (Rabobank)
Tyler Farrar (Garmin)- 9 points
Stijn Devolder (Quick Step)
Cyril Dessel (AG2R) - 2 points
Kim Kirchen (Columbia)- 6 points

Total - 48 Points

Ahhhh . . . the sweet taste of a runaway victory. There is still a lot of racing to go, but as Phil Ligget would say "The elastic has stretched." Another couple of days like this and my team will "snap the elastic". To quote Phil again, Mom's team needs to "dig deep in their suitcase of courage" if they are going to stay competitive.

How are you doing overall? What's the big prize this year?

I must admit, I kind of miss mom calling me everything few minutes with updates, then yelling at me for not caring enough. It's just not summer without that. :)
