Is it too late to suggest that more emphasis is put on getting the correct people than the order. I think getting cancellara and Sagan should not score higher than getting the top 3 but not in the correct order.

Would it be worth looking at for later events ( not retrospectively, obviously!)

Duncan,

 

I follow what you are trying to say but would suggest that with Davie and Tom already having suffered the pain in earlier rounds it is too late to change for this season :-?

 

I have had a thought about this and would intend for next year to continue with the same scoring structure however without applying the 2 point bonus to those riders in the correct position. In todays case that would mean the following scoring:

 

Duncan 10 points for Cancellara, 4 pointrs for Sagan (14)

Ricahrd and Davie 10 points for Cancellara, 2 points for Sagan and 2 for Van Garderen (14)

 

This would make things a bit fairer I think but for the reasons noted above not at this stage. The main emphasis however would still be on placings as all three in the correct order will score more points as I consider correct placing to be the harder prediction.

Paul is starting to pull away towards the Hors category Tour and the chasing pack is splintering behind him.

I win the Tour de Swiss with 32 points Oh ya dancer ! (I have checked and double checked):

 

2 points for Cunego in Overall;

12 points for A Schleck 1st in mountains and 6 for Cunego 3rd;

12 points for Leopard Trek team

(just incase stewards enquiry call :roll: )

 

Tom was second with 30 points

 

Joint 3rd were Richie, and Kenny with 26 points.

 

All this makes the overall as follows:

 

1st Paul 200 points

2nd Richie 194 points

3rd Richard 180 points

4th Me 171 points

5th Duncan 170 points

6th Jann 148 points

7th Billy 137 points

8th Davie 131 points

9th Ramsay 116 points

10th Kenny 112 points

11th Tom 107 points

12th Greig 92 points

13th alan 85 points icon_bawling

 

One to watch out for - Jann, who is quietly making her way up the overall.

 

I think we should include a top 3 in the British RR championships (which take place this weekend) before the tour.

 

So predictions required for the top 3 by 23:59 Friday night.
