Ryinc Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Yip - high risk picking someone who goes in a break.The harder the stage (according to the Tour, not me) means more points for the these "harder" stages. Also, a break usually always happens but the break staying away is something that doesn't happen often. When it does, the guys need to be rewarded. The daily prizes were also brought in to keep everyone's interest levels up. Luckily this was sorted before today's "competition leader" prize. With the other prizes (green, white, polka dot, riders in break) it's all a lucky draw.Well done Gerald, lots of guys moaning about the scoring last week but this now shows aģgressive tactical picks and bit of luck shake up leaderboard chop chop in your scoring system. A stage like yesterday somebody can literally go from midpack to top 10 in one day. Still lots of other variables as well e.g most aggressive rider at end being worth 500 points etc. Still a loooong way to go to paris...

Shebeen Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 well said Ryinc, coming from the previous points leader!i went from 260-something to 329. Besides some back luck with early retirees in the first week - I could not even crack my scoring system. Loo-wis Main Cheese needs to step up and deliver... I still think Saturday may be the day (Mandela day).today could be the day - he's in the break
Frosty Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 This comment cut me deep, Gerald'It's a long way to Parys, Bru...Deja vu! Ha ha - just like 2014 Dale! Waar is jy? Oh, there you are in 247th place. Sorry I could'nt see you all the way from 33rd place.Your rivalry plus 'Dale's picks from last year helped inspire me to change the scoring to it's current format. 'Dale had Di Marcchi in his team (if I remember well) and he was in two breaks last year. And yes, it's still a long way to Paris
Gen Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 22 riders in the break with 2 others trying to gap. Fuglsang RodriquesBardetCherelBartaVanMarcke KwiatkowskiDurasekMeintjesNavarroWestraConquardBrun
'Dale Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I think Meintjies are eyeing a stage win and must have a target he is patiently waiting for. MTNQ race leadership have made it explicit that they'll be hunting stage wins, not the GC ladder.

MTNQ race leadership have made it explicit that they'll be hunting stage wins, not the GC ladder. He has some stiff competition in that group, if they survive it will be tough, he would have to be very smart during the day. But if you don't try you wont know hey. Hope he does well

Gen Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Some more big bonus points if they (or some of them) can stay away... I can only hope.. I need a bloody miracle
Frosty Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 With the virtual GC as follows, they may not want some of the guys in the break to stay away... 13 minutes is the closest (Fuglsang) as things stand now.
