yeah, i know it's not over yet, but that's never stopped me before! winners: the poles, germans, french and yeah that one sicilian guy. majka and kwiatkowski have been revelations. the germans have 5 stage wins so far with likely 2 to 3 more. the the french may podium twice. and i think we owe nibali props for what he's done, with (stage 2 victory, cobbles) and without froome & contador. losers: team sky. woulda shoulda coulda. eurocar: wierd behaviour and no results. garmin: so close yet so far, and tough lessons for their young GC contender. purito: who'd a thunk he'd lose the dots once he set his sights on it. winner: tinkoff saxo: successfully retooled upon berto's departure. loser: bob roll. consistently predicted incorrectly, many times at odds with CVV, on camera. winner: CVV. say what you will about his commenting style (i happen to think he got better as the tour rolled on and give him a B+), he accurately predicted outcomes early in the stages. he understands modern bike racing; roll should be relegated to the dust bin of has-beens. loser: valverde. ex doper who wheel sucks and then attacks. no longer a GC threat. hope the two young frenchmen make the podium and not him. winner: TJ. shows he's a fighter and doesn't give up, even tho the podium is out of reach now. Talansky too, for his courageous last ride. but he needs to back out when the sprinters heat up. winner & loser: sagan. unless he wins the stage today, it will be a somewhat disappointing green jersey for him. zabel also won the points without winning a stage, but that's gotta be bittersweet for what's generally considered the sprinters jersey. winner: the mountains and white jersey competitions, and 2nd & 3rd spots on the GC. except for the yellow it really has been an exciting TdF. okay, who you got for winners & losers?
