wow! i didnt know that i had moved this much.

Congrats Shalgo! it will be really tough for someone to beat him from here on (unless someone enters a huge break and jumps 10-20 spots in GC)

thank you AC for doing such a splendid job.
 
Stage 17
I won't be able to do a full update this evening, and might be fairly late with tomorrow's:

Guaranteed on the day

Modolo was the cheapest of the main sprinters for the race, and therefore the most popular, but is set to be the most successful as well.
MODOLO Sacha 70 29 teams
NIZZOLO Giacomo 40 2 teams
MEZGEC Luka 25 7 teams
CONTADOR VELASCO Alberto 18 12 teams
HAUSSLER Heinrich 15 0 team
APPOLLONIO Davide 10 3 teams
BROECKX Stig 7 0 team
LOBATO DEL VALLE Juan Jose 5 1 team
PORSEV Alexander 3 1 team
REZA Kévin 2 1 teams
VAN DER LIJKE Nick 1 0 team

Kazistuta repeats the achievement of Josedin on stage 11 in having chosen the top three. In the reverse of the stage 13 result, Big Mac is second of the multi-sprinter teams.

Projection and totals
I need to leave soon to be away overnight, so can't do a full analysis (trusting that none of you have worked out where I live here). I believe that there are very few GC changes, so basically, if you gained in the stage points, you will have moved up; if you have Viviani (losing sprint competition places) or Barbin (DNF), you might have dropped a bit.
 
Stage 18

Guaranteed points today
A collective fail of major proportions in terms of stage picks today
GILBERT Philippe 70 0 team
BONGIORNO Francesco Manuel 40 0 team
CHAVANEL Sylvain 25 0 team
CONTADOR VELASCO Alberto 18 12 teams
BUSATO Matteo 15 0 team
MOINARD Amaël 10 0 team
DE LA CRUZ MELGAREJO David 7 0 team
NOCENTINI Rinaldo 5 0 team
SIUTSOU Kanstantsin 3 0 team
HAGA Chad 2 0 team
WEENING Pieter 1 1 team

Well done to Not My Circus: the only manager to have anyone in the top ten today (although only just), but not having Contador, still forced down to 13th on the day.

Projected total changes
These changes show one day's worth of GPs, and two day's variation in projections (but not really very much variation):
NIZZOLO Giacomo 30 2 teams
MODOLO Sacha 25 29 teams
CONTADOR VELASCO Alberto 15 12 teams
HESJEDAL Ryder 13 1 team

Projected standings
If there were not three stages left...
Even the loss of Cunego does not shake our leader, although it was sufficient to evict Hakkie from the virtual podium.

Family situation that has taken me away for some days recently looks to have upscaled from tragedy to disaster.

Very likely that I will be away for several days now. Can't say when I will be able to do any more on this.

If anyone is feeling brave/foolhardy enough, spreadsheet thus far and instructions are here

(as usual, please verify that i put all the fields.)

Even a drop by trofimov hasn't shaken Shalgo from top spot.

Now, its all upto the sprinters.
 
Whilst we await the final result, I believe this to have been the best team possible:

Total cost: 3487 CQ
Total score: 2891 CQ

Alberto Contador (12 selections)
Mikel Landa (5)
Steven Kruijswijk (2)
Andrey Amador (0!)
Sacha Modolo (29)
Paolo Tiralongo (5)
Tanel Kangert (3)
Amael Moinard (0!)
Carlos Betancur (31)

Congratulations Shalgo!

Great Job done by Alykaptan! just amazing how he managed to do so well considering that he didnt chose the eventual Giro winner.
to his credit, he chose both 2nd and 3rd GC.

Yep, thanks AC for a great game...

Pretty happy top be fighting for the podium and ended up two points shy!

Can't believe it came down to Modolo losing second place in the points jersey on the last stage!

Ah and what would of been if I didn't have Pozzovivo...

Anyway I'm stoked with 4th!

All the best to Armchair_Cyclist and thanks again for the game. Also thanks to murali for the last updates and congrats to shalgo for the pink jersey.
I'm happy with my final GC ranking, one spot better than last year, in the end it was pretty clear that I'm off the podium.
 
Lest there be some slight differences between this and what Murali came up with:
Finally home, so with some delay Guaranteed points for the last three stages

Thanks a lot AC for organising this, and Murali. Much appreciated! Made watching the Giro a lot more fun :)

Also have to thank Fabio Aru's last two stage wins for squeaking me into the top ten. Pretty chuffed as it's only my second go at a CQ game.

The slump in Trofimov's GC place wasn't enough to place Shalgo in any real danger. If he had not been out in the lead, it would have been an incredibly tight podium, as there are only 6 points between 2nd and 4th. Alykaptan did very well to make the podium without having Contador, and those two late stages for Aru were key to his late revival. I didn't come as near the bottom as usual, and the Collective Wisdom team had, I suspect, it's worst ever performance.

Stage points because it is meaningless to talk of them as guaranteed anymore:

Thanks to all who had a go, congratulations to Shalgo and anyone pleased with their performance, sorry for the intermittent service during the in-laws' family crises (and appreciation of Murali's filling in), and thanks for your comments.

And if you can think about any form of analysis I haven't included, or if you are prone to micro-evaluation of what did or didn't happen for your team, here is the final spreadsheet.

Thanks for the game!
I guess for the Tour I will have to go with a more traditional team as the gamble didn't really pay off for me. :D

Thank you AC for the game.

(thanks for corrections. i thought i made a mistake somewhere but wasnt sure of it.)

amazing thing about shalgo's and alykaptan's team: the GC points earned by their picks.

This is my highest ever standing.
my main miss: zakarin didnt do well in the stages i expected him to win. (he came 10+ min late. he flopped in TT). i thought the last 4 picks should earn me more.
