Riders out of the Tour

BMC are also current World Champs in the Team TT. A team on fire in this discipline.

Monday will be interesting, watching the changes coming through. The obvious change will be to replace riders that have withdrawn, but for the rest it's a case of replacing the right person at the right time. This competition is far from over.

The teams aren't contributing much at this stage, but the top teams are: BMC - 18 Ettix-Quick Step - 8 Team Lotto NL-Jumbo - 8 Trek Factory Racing - 4 Team Sky - 4 Tinkoff-Saxo - 2 Movistar - 1

After 3 stages, who are the performing riders? a "Fantasy Dream Team"

For those of you interested in the stats: 141 riders selected from 198 taking part - 71% of the riders participating were picked.

Yes, thanks for the sharp eyes. Fixed

STAGE 04 How will you be scoring points today? http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_victoire_etape.png Stage finish 1 point per rider if your chosen riders cross the finish line and are classified as a finisher. Today is a MEDIUM stage, with a rating 2/6. http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_maillot_jaune.png GC Classification Four riders have officially withdrawn, as showing on the Tour’s website, but news reports show that others may not start today. The points on offer for the GC position will be the total number of riders to finish * 0.1. Everyone else gets points based on their time relative to the winning time. The formula to calculate the points is as follows: {(1-(((RiderTime/LeaderTime)-1)*10))*Riders*BETA}, where: · RiderTime Rider’s current overall race time · LeaderTime Current race leader’s overall race time · Riders number of riders completing the stage · BETAYellow 0.1 http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_maillot_blanc.png Young Rider Classification There were officially 31 young riders that finished yesterday, so depending on the number that finish today, the number of riders * 0.1 will be awarded to the leader in the white jersey. Everyone else gets points based on their time relative to the winning time. The formula to calculate the points is as follows: {(1-(((RiderTime/LeaderTime)-1)*10))*Riders*BETA}, where: · RiderTime Rider’s current overall race time · LeaderTime Current race leader’s overall race time · Riders number of riders completing the stage · BETAWhite 0.7 http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_maillot_vert.png Sprinter’s Classification One intermediate sprint, with points: 10.0 – 8.5 – 7.5 – 6.5 – 5.5 – 5.0 – 4.5 – 4.0 – 3.5 – 3.0 – 2.5 – 2.0 –1.5 – 1.0 – 0.5 At the finish line, the first 15 finishers score points, with points as follows: 12.5 – 11 – 9.5 – 8.5 – 7.5 – 6.5 – 5.5 – 4.5 – 3.5 – 3.0 – 2.5 – 2.0 –1.5 – 1.0 – 0.5 http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_maillot_a_pois.png KOM Classification The first stage with categorised climbs, meaning the points are awarded according to the following criteria: · 1x Cat 4 1 point for the first rider over the climb http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_dossard_combativite-antargaz.png Most Aggressive Due to the 2/6 rating for today’s stage, the Most Aggressive rider will score 100 points. http://www.letour.fr/le-tour/img/page-reglements/enjeux_dossard_equipes-ragt.png Team Classification Points are awarded to the top 4 teams at the end of the stage. Points available are as follows: 7 – 4 – 2 – 1 Bonus Points 1 point is awarded if one or more of your riders is wearing one of the category jerseys, i.e. Yellow, White or Green, as well as the Best Team. If a rider wins more than one jersey, the less important jersey is worn by the next rider on the standing (this rider does not qualify to score points). Breakaway 20 points per rider in the break. 100 points for every rider in the break that finishes ahead of the peloton. Daily Prize The person leading the competition today will be in line to win the daily prize. If the person leading has already won a prize, it goes to the next person on the leaderboard that hasn't won a prize.

I had one similar (with the gear shifters in the same place above the headset). Mine was a bike from End Street Cycles, and purchased in 1986. Not sure of the exact manufacture date though

If I get a chance tomorrow.

Next week Monday you will be alliwed to swap your riders in the same way you picked your team last week

Yes. Correct

Yes, Competition leader

It's the file I emailed to Admin - my mistake. I will be sharing the scoresheets and summary page onto the Google Drive link every day, which I know are correct.

Oops! Sorry about that

The spreadsheets on Google Drive are correct. The leaderboard is updated from a file I email to Admin. The SUMIF formula is causing unwanted grief and I will abort plans to load the file. The leaderboard will show exactly the same scores as the files currently on Google Drive.

The scoresheets have been uploaded to the Google drive. Please check if you can access the folder... I'll share it this way until I can get the file working the way I hope it would.

Summary of the points after stage 3 can be viewed at Google Drive...

And the winner is... 672 Team TALUS Well done.

174 173 people have ANDRE GREIPEL in their team (I'm excluding myself from any prizes). As the GREEN jersey holder at the end of today's stage, all 174 go into the draw for today's prize. Admin used https://www.random.org/ to determine the winner from stage 1, so we will use the same method again to do the draw. Names go into the hat in the order in which teams were entered on the online entry form.

More than one way to skin a cat... The GOOGLE DRIVE file has been modified... and I think it's working properly now. Open the file in Google Sheets. @Tombeej - your team was the selected one because of the WC's Most Aggressive points not showing on the earlier version.

Even worse, for me... Dumuolin OUT and Matthews...

Eish! 16:06 The race is stopped All the riders are stopped at the bottom of the côte de Bohisseau, km 107. 16:05 Dumoulin in the ambulance Tom Dumoulin probably abandons the Tour de France. He's in the ambulance. 16:03 Neutralised again The race is neutralised for the second time at the bottom of the côte de Bohisseau.

Meanwhile, live action reports that 4 riders are in the break... After 24 kilometres of racing, Bryan Nauleau (Europcar), Serge Pauwels (MTN-Qhubeka), Jan Barta (Bora-Argon 18) and Martin Elmiger (IAM) are 3.25 ahead of the peloton still led by Trek. Only two hubbers have picks riders in the break.
