Ronde van Vlaanderen
Scoring riders
The highest finisher to have been selected for our game is Theijs Benoot, a unique, and very wise, pick by Los Brolin. You might or might not believe me when I say that he was a very late removal from my shortlist. However, Brolin selected none of the other top ten riders, Boom, Roelandts and Stybar, who were fairly popular.

Between us, we chose 35 of the 5 pointers, including STANNARD Ian, GAUDIN Damien, VANDENBERGH Stijn, VANMARCKE Sep, VANSUMMEREN Johan and PAOLINI Luca, each of whom are on at least a dozen teams.
Points today
Los Brolin had Benoot, but it is Search, the only manager to have selected the other three top ten finishers to have impinged on our collective consciousness, who tops the day's scoring table. Indeed, ten of his twelve team members scored points today.

Standings
Game leader Geraint Too Fast was yet again one of our top scorers (4th on the day), and with the relative failure of DJW (Stybar was his only decent placing today), his lead now extends to over 200 points. Asdfgh was only slightly outscored by Geraint, and swaps podium places with DJW. Search is the biggest riser inside the top ten (7th to 4th), and Karaev re-enters that select group.
Other teams making significant moves up the table are Commodoro, Murrjt and Oliveira, moving up 8, 7 and 6 places respectively.
