Today
If ever cycling results seem a bit predictable, consider that the top team today was created by a random number generator

Up to rest day one, the highest green point scorers (those who have at least a 2nd on a stage or the points equivalent, if they were selected:

Yellow points
Most of the points that top ten riders might have gained by overtaking Van Aert as he dropped away from contention were lost to being passed on GC by O'Connor. There were 12 riders who didn't start, didn't finish or were outside the time limit today, 5 of whom had been picked.

Of the 14 teams in this who already had been in the Giro and Spring classics game, Leadbelly and Otoxiep were already first and second on total scores before the Tour started, so their being in the same positions here means the 4 seasons title looks to be a two horse race.

All these numbers, and more

Enjoy your rest day: I'll be trying to get the Emerging Riders games through their monthly updates.

Bonimenier · Jul 4, 2021

RhD being in the dead middle of the standings with a randomly picked team going into the first restday shows how little we actually know about cycling.

Kazistuta · Jul 5, 2021

+ How random the Tour always is...

We will all feel that a stage like tomorrow should bring some significant change to the GC projection points, but I suspect most of us fear that the stage may be between rare picks in a breakaway and that Pogacar getting 20 more yellow points is about as much as will be seen.

Green Jersey
Googolplex, Lecko and Search have Greipel
BicycleBoy, DJSprtsch and Salvarani have Alaphilippe

Lecko remains 2nd, Salvarani stays 4th, Googolplex moves up one place to 6th

That's all.

Yellow points
The GC action was about as notable as the green points in the game.

Standings
Of the Cavendish teams that dominate, only Salvarani, Kazistuta and Northerner score in this classification today. Blues in the Bottle becomes the top non-Cavendish team, but 105 points behind the lowest of these. Salvarani regains is lead of the first few stages.

Guillaume Martin gained GC 270 GC points, but nobody had him, so the main story will be the points lost by those he overtook. Polka dot points also got a bit of a shake up.

When nothing else effects the leading scores much, there is always the daily yellow jersey bonus, which moves the two better performing Pogacar teams up within the top five.

More of the same tomorrow?

Armchair cyclist · Jul 15, 2021

Stage 18 They have now climbed every mountain

I suggested yesterday, "More of the same tomorrow?" More so than ever before, as this is apparently the first time in tour history that the top three on the stage has been the same twice in a row.

It's not only the top three that makes this similar to yesterday, it is also Uran losing a lot of points for a lot of teams and Pogacar moving up the GPM table.

Standings
Now that Cavendish is no longer at great risk of being eliminated by the watch, Leadbelly should be safe, but the two teams chasing still have a confident 40 yellow points and a good haul from the TT to come, so it will probably need Cavendish to get two clear of Merckx for anyone else to reach the podium. Only 1 point separates those teams (Elissonde, Meurisse, Chevalier and Froome bringing one point more than McNulty, Buchmann and Higuita).

I hope you can hear me, speaking from all the way down here in last place.

Now you know what it feels like, to be last!

And I thought the inclusion of Sagan would be what might bring me a bit of points. Never expected O'Connor to be the one to "save" - as much as I had any expectations - this game for me.

I would normally expect a time trial to cause a bit of a shake up in the rankings, but where riders are not separated by very large time gaps, at least towards the top of GC, the better TTer is in front anyway. So tomorrow might see the sorts of scores in the game more typical of a breakaway stage.

Bminchow and I have 6 riders in common, 5 of whom are now DNF...

Congratulations to Leadbelly, and to Shalgo and Amis Velo for filling the podium. It is probably good for the game that a well balanced team with multiple top ten riders and a good sprinter can prevail against teams with a probably predictable (although expensive) race winner who picks up 260 yellow jersey points.

A fairly comprehensive win for Velorooms, which has 1st, 3rd and 5th, and only one of the bottom 11 teams.

Thanks to the riders, the Tour, CQ and PCS websites, and to everyone who took part, and I'll hope to see you all again for La Vuelta in about 3 weeks (and later today, or maybe tomorrow, with some data crunching, but all the numbers are here in the spreadsheet.)
