I guess the Casar vs Jeannesson pick has been sorted. Casar out of the race and Jeannesson already almost three minutes down. :(
 
Finally, a stage winner that some of us (nearly a third of us) had chosen.

Best points for stage 4
1 Jancouver 85 (Battaglin, Jeannesson, Hesjedal and Kiserlovski)
2= Armchair and Search 82 (Battaglin, Jeannesson and Kiserlovski)
4 Mellow Velo (Battaglin, Intxausti and Kiserlovski)
5= Minessa and Al Pacino 75 (Battaglin, Hesjedal and Kiserlovski)

Of course, it could be argued that I lost 15 points today, as my unique pick Casar becomes the rider unique in having left the race, but presumed final standing points will not be factored in until, probably, Saturday or Sunday.

Those who were successful today also take over the upper echelons of the standings

Stage 5
No very popular riders in the top ten today: below all the points scored today
1 MC Mountain 10 (Trentin)
2 Jakob747 7 (Pantano)
2 Tuarts 7
2 Maaaaaaaarten 7
5 Martyfulu 3 (Keukeleire)
6 Kjetilraknerud 2 (Bole)
6 Sasquatch 2
8 Geraint Too Fast 1 (Kangert)

And no-one else, so very few changes in the overall position, but Jakob moves up to the podium

Stage 6

As MC Mountain observes, today's sprinters are rather more popular than yesterdays:
Whittashau and BB222 both have Viviani (40 pts),
Handbrake, Asdfgh101 and Just Some Guy all have Goss (25 pts)
Bicycle Boy has Bellatti (7 points)
The Fool on the Hill and Hilltopfinisher have Appollonio (5 points)
Handbrake also has Breschel (2 pts)
14 teams, including some of the above, have Ferrari.

1 Whittashau 41
2 BlackBandit222 40
3 Handbrake 28
4 Asdfgh101 26
4 Just Some Guy 26
6 Bicycle Boy 7
7 The Fool on the Hill 6

Those who have Viviani move back above the Battaglin teams to take the top spots.

Yet you write in your blog about today's stage:

"A pretty flat day before the long individual time trial the next day. This runs along the coast but no doubt the finish will be setup by Cavendish’s team here as his best chance of a stage win."

:rolleyes:

I'm having a good Giro so far in this and the main CQ game (Battaglin and Kruijswijk in both with Evans in main).
 
Stage 8 time trial
Wiggins teams get the bulk of the points, but fewer than we would have expected.
Nibali's teams get 18 pink jersey points, as well as 15 for coming 4th.

1 Geraint Too Fast 58 pts (33 for Nibali, 25 for Kangert)
2= 18-Valve Pithy, Armchair Cyclist, Bicycle Boy, Hugo Koblet, MC Mountain, Search, The Fool on the Hill 40 pts (The Wiggins selection)
9 Cyival 38 pts (Nibs + Evans)
10= 25 Nibalists

Up to 15th, not too bad. Now if Gatto and Betancur can just get it together...

Thanks for the extremely fast update by the way. :)

Unlucky with Kelderman today. That TT was half the reason I hired him, could have had a few points without the crash potentially.

4 Mellow Velo 1145

Not surprisingly, the 25 top positions are occupied by teams among the 27 that selected Nibali. Cyival is the only manager to have Evans alongside Nibali, and that gives him the provisional lead.
