Stage 6

Yates is a popular pick, who was beginning too make those who had selected him doubt the wisdom of that choice, although that will have been in part due to the time deductions yesterday that were restored overnight.

Red points
For a few riders, most notably Yates, some of the point difference today is the late application of the three minute rule to some of yesterday's riders.

Lopez had already dented the hopes of his 28 teams with the time lost on stage 2: now he removes any last ambitions for stage points.

Standings
The only change in the top 5 is Los Brolin moving two places up: DJW, Minessa and NairoQ moveinto the top ten, replacing Josedin, Leadbelly and JosephD, and Mellow Velo's ten place rise is the best of the day.

Feel ur pain Shalgo. Let's announce a cooperation: Team Shalgo-Vredeling.

That is a generous offer, considering how well your team is doing. At least Frank's 5 points nearly doubled my point total today.

If you were to replace Lopez, Kruijswijk, Vervaeke and Pardilla from Vredeling's team, and replace them with Contador, Talansky, Restrepo and Peraud from Shalgo's selection, you would still be within budget, and would be in fourth place.

The two of you are among 10 teams that have lost both Kruijswijk and Lopez: there are only 7 teams that has not suffered the loss of one or other of them (AmisVelo, BigMac, GeraintTooFast, Leadbelly, Rote_Laterne, USPostal, Vladimir).

Sounds like a deal! :-D

Have a plan B though. Still not too late to pick up my local pharmacist and do a meet and greet with good old Louis V. next monday.

More losses than gains, but it is when we see how Contador recovers from today's fall that we will really see what the losses due to today were.

Stage 8 The crazy steep wall

Is this the beginning of the prominence of the two Quintana teams, or maybe the start of the resurgence of the ost popukar pick, Contador, or is any change today a temporary phenomenon?

Standings

The two big positive scorers don't quite emulate Quintana in reaching the top: NairoQ nearly makes it, moving from 10th to 2nd, while Vladimir is the biggest riser of the day, up 18 places to 7th. The day's big point loser has exactly the same ranking fall as the cause of that loss, dropping from 1st to 6th. Our new leader had a fairly average day, but it was enough to move up from second.

The two Quintana teams, who soared on Saturday then dropped on Sunday, have more than recovered those losses and had double digit rises to 1st and 5th, while the brief glory of the De La Cruz teams end with an average drop of 13 places.

The steep end to a flat stage after the rest day repeated, more or less, the effect of the steep end to a flat-ish stage before the rest day. Again, popular riders concentrated around the lower point scorers.

On the day

Other than Froome overtaking Valverde for 2nd, this is a case of lots of riders moving up a place or two as a much smaller number of riders (most notably De La Cruz and Brambilla) move down several.

The top three of the day look increasing likely to be battling it out for the honours, as the rare picks of Froome (Amis Velo) and Quintana (NairoQ and Vladimir) look to be making this a two horse race.

Standings

The top ten is made up of exactly the same ten teams as on Monday, but the only one not to change place at all is NairoQ, who remains first. I get to share biggest mover honours with Geraint, albeit from a much lower base.

Stage 13 Stalemate in the Basque Country

Green points
None of the top ten today were selected (surely a first in our GC games), so the only red points, rather contradictorily, are the 18 red jersey points for Quintana. So having earned 36 points on this basis, against a maximum of 1 point for any other team, in the last two days, NairoQ and Vladimir are now up to 2nd and 10th respectiveky in this category.

Red points
No GC changes above 45th place, nor in points classification above 8th, so the main changes (including more than enough losses to cancel out Quintana's red jersey bonus) arise from being overtaken by Lagutin in the Kom classification), so there are only losses today.

Today makes yesterday look like a major reshuffle. No-one moves by more than one place, and more than three quarters of us don't even do that, and the most significant change is the 19th and 20th placed teams swapping positions.

Red points

Not really the headline of the day, but the slump in Konig's GC rank (with the points benefit to all those who passed him) is probably the biggest effect of the dayas far as the game is concerned. Of course, it might also puncture any remaining hope on the part of Amis Velo, or fear from NairoQ and Vladimir.

Standings

Vladimir becomes the leader, mainly by virtue of not having Konig, in contrast to the other Quintana team (NairoQ, now 2nd) , and Hakkie rises from 10th to the third podium spot, with Amis Velo falling to 5th. Only 8 teams did not change position, and while Luxembourg Finest matched Hakkie's 7 point rise, there were three teams who suffer the ignominy of falling 10 (Hayabusa, Bbass) or even 14 (18-Valve) places.

Had they applied the time limit and put several dozen riders out of the race, it would have lowered all the scores a bit, and the most significant immediate change would have seen Kazistuta up to 6th.

As you have probably gathered by now, this was not a day to change much. Bbass and LightBing each move up 3, 14 teams each move up one place and a similar number take a concommitant drop. The highest place to change is Mellow Velo's annexation of 6th place.

Murrjt is new in the top ten, and the highest placed mover (4 places) of the day. Vredeling and Slapshot manage 5 place rises, surprising with so few points won and lost.

Even with the early demise of Lopez, the advantage had seemed to be with Nairo Q until Konig got onto the megabus on Sunday. Konig having lost in the region of 200 points that day undermined what otherwise would have been a very tight group of three at the top of the race.

Watching halfway through the stage, it looks like Elissonde will lose some of Vladimir's lead, and might be that another strong stage from Gesink might yet bring NairoQ close to the top if the real Nairo stays in red, but barring a key DNF, Vladimir seems to have the better of it among the two Quintana teams.
Amis Velo might still have designs on 2nd, even if Froome does not get the lead, with Frank in the break if Gesink does not stay up there. Of course, if Froome manages to overhaul those 81 seconds, the title is surely Amis Velo's.

Minessa has a noteworthy 145 point margin over any of the other 35 Contador teams, with a well balanced team including decent returns from Yates, Scarponi, Meersman, and Gesink, honourable back up from Hermans and Peraud, and Schartzmann being one of the few riders to be in profit in this race. It would however require something either extraordinary or tragic for him, or any of the Albertistas, to make the podium.

A win for Meersman or Cort Nielsen could yet win this category for Murrjt, but NairoQ has been in the lead for a long time:

Red points
The change in leadership of the points classification made no difference, and in the KoM in made very little, but Contador's fall from the podium takes a toll on 3/4 of teams, and a few suffer even more from the fates of Sanchez and Scarponi. Where many teams lost points, a few gained by filling those lost places.

Almost final standings

The gap between the top two is greatly reduced, but it is hard to see sprinters capable of closing the 31 pt gap in NairoQ's team. Murrjt is both the highest placed to have changed position, and the biggest (5 place) riser of the day. DJW is also an entry to the top ten. Although Chaves has gained 3rd place, five of the Contador teams remain above the highest Chaves team (DJW).
