So Pinot has abandoned.. 

 

This is the very very last time I will be so doff as to put Frenchies in my team

 

I should have aimed for the laterne rouge

I must be the worst picker in the world, I get ZERO points for a whole stage?

 

Had 2nd and 8th in my team, sprint winner in breakaway, green.

 

Looks like this competition is exactly like the actual race, if you are leading you get the jury to review and over turn, if you are a nobody then you get screwed.

 

Now I can't even upload the picture proof of my ZERO points.

We'd not yet updated all points following yesterday's complex stage result. We've taken the decision to follow the Tour organisers / commissaries lead in using the stage finish positions as published by them for input into the scoring system.

 

You'll see that points are now showing for Stage 12 (and your team did nicely!)

I've got Bardet lined up on the bench for week 3

He's seems more potent than the emotional Tibo-Pino

Yeah, it might have an effect on the final standings in the end, but that's the fairest solution without over-complicating things.

 

Thanks G!

Yip - which is why we considered the following:

 

What if they didn't crash, who gets 10th, 11th and 12th?

 

Go according to the Tour's published results and it's transparent for all to see.

 

No-one could have predicted that this would happen, although the official bikes and cars have played havoc more this year than in the years gone by. At least it appears that way.

10 points for the break, nichts/null for getting caught before the end.

And 5 points for being in 6th place on the GC for the green jersey.
