Giro d'Italia, stage 7 summary
 

Top 3 and favourites standings :
1 Alexandre Vinokourov 24.09.42
2 Cadel Evans 1.12
3 David Millar 1.29

So we're saying David Millar is now, by RBR standards, a GC podium type of
guy? How did this transformation from TT guy take place? Is he really
expected to remain in contention during that last week in the mountains?

Just curious...

Listing him is a favor for those tracking "The Millar Line".

Yes, I had to check when his name appeared on my "favourites" list.
He was 15th on a list of 15 although he is 156th on my overall points list.
Only 14 riders in this year's Giro appear in the 155 above him!

And as an added convenience you can graph the Cunego line versus the
Millar line.

Interesting. Pretty significant, although I have no idea how. 155 riders
above him and only 14 of them in the Giro?

This is looking like a really animated, fun Giro to watch. What's the
connection?

Thanks by the way for putting it together. I wouldn't question it if I
didn't value your work.
