The Real Standings - Points is fo Suckaz

Points and games in hand make me mental, so I whip up this spreadsheet occasionally.
Does this mean that AV doesn't get to coach the all-star team (.658 for SJS to .655 for VAN)?

1 commentSvein Tuft finishes Sarthe TT with one arm
He wrestles grizzly bears in the wild backwoods of Canada in the off-season so taking speedbumps one-armed at 60 km/h in a TT tuck is no big deal.
The Real Standings - Points are fo Suckaz

What makes more sense? That the Flames are one point out of a playoff spot but Chicago and Dallas have two games in hand and Anaheim has one game in hand, WTF, or Calgary is 1 1/2 games out of eighth with two games to go? Points are superfluous. As long as teams get two for a win, none for a loss and one for an SOL (tie), teams will always have points equal to games played plus games over .500, so points are meaningless and it makes more sense to go with a winning percentage/games behind leader standing like the other sports.

Cauberg 'Cross
Albert, Nys, Walsleben, Wellens, Aernouts, De Knegt raced, others sat out.
Any 'cross racing on Sunday? Yoah.
Most of the big dogs raced on Sunday, each choosing one of two standalone events. Nys won one by about 90 seconds and the other looks like it had a pretty epic finish - Pauwels outsprinting Stybar and Walsleben with Page 4th @ only 7 seconds.
Tour de San Luis Stage 6

The 193.1 km stage on Saturday will be very terrible: a 34 km climb to 2084m early, then another cat 1 summit, Cerro El Amago, at 1720m, with pitches up to 11.5%. The final 18 km to the finish are mostly flat on the mile-high plateau. Stage 4 time trial winner Xavier Tondo of Movistar maintaned the overall lead with a 7th place finish on Friday's stage 5 moutaintop finish. Ivan Basso has been tranquilo throughout, training through and sitting at 32nd on GC. Liquigas teammate Eros Capecchi sits 4th @ 1:28.

Quebec ProTour Plans & 2015 Worlds Bid
"One thing that we know already that we are going to do is add one lap to each race; however, since that will make them over 200 kilometres in length, we have to get approval from the UCI. But, it is something that [Technical Director] Charly Mottet has recommended. Although the races did not finish with the peloton together, it was not far behind, so adding one more lap could change the [dynamics] of the race a lot."
