Stage 9 Into the Alps via the Jungel

A lot later than usual, but a bit of extra info to make up for it.

Green points
We've done it again: the whole top ten are selected for the game. Well done us.

JUNGELS Bob	80	7
CASTROVIEJO NICOLAS Jonathan	50	2
VERONA QUINTANILLA Carlos	35	1
PINOT Thibaut	25	11

VINGEGAARD RASMUSSEN Jonas	10	6
THOMAS Geraint	5	26
YATES Adam	3	2
MAS NICOLAU Enric	2	1
QUINTANA ROJAS Nairo Alexander	1	3

So it would appear that Zigzag was just giving us all a chance by not scoring at all on the first 7 stages, and that he is in fact a master of this part of the game (Jungels, Verona and Pinot):

Non Finishers
We are up to 11 now (but thankfully no extras due to covid tests today), 8 of whom were selected for the game

Martin & Bouchard: Samu Cuenca
Haig & Guerreiro: Archie Boy
Haig & Gogl: Rufs

Haig:Amis Velo, Armchair Cyclist, Mellow Velo, Otoxiep87, Salvarani, Scrool07, TRiley36, ZigZag Wanderer
Asgreen: Bicycle Boy
Guerreiro: Leadbelly, Los Brolin, Titan 31
Moscon: Vladimir
Gogl: Jumbo Visma Fan
Vermaerke: Laarsland, Yellow Knight

However, if your team is predicated upon big investments in Martinez, Van der Poel or O'Connor, you're not much better off.

Technically, O'Connor is not out of the race until sign on tomorrow, but I hadn't read of his withdrawal when I was writing the above. So add to the teams suffering a lost rider:
Amis Velo, Mellow Velo, TRiley36, ZigZag Wanderer(each also had Haig)
ChrisDK, DJW, Scrooll07

Less than a minute between 2nd and 7th in the GC, and a lot of point variation between those places seems possible. Unlike the Tour, not over yet.

Although it was not the most notable fall in position yesterday, I did think Pidcock's GC fall yesterday was the beginning of a more dramatic drop away. Which is why I am 20th.

Top two teams
VINGEGAARD RASMUSSEN Jonas
THOMAS Geraint
EWAN Caleb
SAGAN Peter
are common to both teams,

so the difference is being made by:
Northerner
BARDET Romain
JORGENSON Matteo
ROLLAND Pierre
EEKHOFF Nils

18 Valve
GROENEWEGEN Dylan
PIDCOCK Thomas
BAUER Jack
(MØRKØV CHRISTENSEN Michael)

So the key points seem to be Groenewegen on stages 19 and 21, and whether Pidcock and or Bardet maintain (or even improve) on their current positions. Or whether Bauer, Eekhoff, Jorgensen or Rolland go mad on a breakaway, at a push.

RhD gets 5 times as many green points today as her total from the previous 15 stages. But don't worry, she's still last (here at least). Of the three teams on 25 points, it is Archie who has Storer and Vlasov rather than Jorgenson.

Standings
18 Valve has a zero sum day, with Vingegaard's yellow jersey bonus cancelling out Pidcock's loss of a position. While for Northerner, Jorgenson's exploits, even with the same maillot jaune points, can't make up for Bardet's losses on the day, so the lead changes hands again.

It would appear that Rote Laterne was trying to break a CQ Games record with the most expensive purchase ever in the 2793 point Roglic, without realising that Yellow Knight had already splashed out 3457 on Pogacar.

She may be on the way to becoming the second previous winner (Tour 2019 winner) to end up last, as I did 12 months ago.

All of Yellow Knight's points come from one rider, but that is Pogacar.

A bit of a shake up in the KoM points and in the lower top ten. If yo avoided picking English riders, you'll not have done too badly.

I suspect I won't be able to post tomorrow's update until late afternoon on Saturday, what what impact the break/sprinters will have here will only be revealed late. But the key question in terms of the top of out table is whether Groenewegen features.

Don't forget, that was Friday's stage: I should be able to do Saturday's tomorrow morning, but Sunday's, the final, update might not be possible until late on Monday (nonagenarian mother visiting)

Gradually catching up...

Stage 20 Rocamadour Time Trial
If four guys managed to beat the twice and reigning world champion, one can only assume that they have been hiding away anonymously in the gruppetto for three weeks, saving their matches.

Bardet's recovery (again) means that the gap is now beyond anything that Groenewegen can make up for in a sprint: the day is processional.

Final Green standings
18 Valve has been at the top in this since stage 6, and for a long time looked like doing the double. A very dominant tour in the minor classification.

Apart from the stage points, some shifting in the points classification, and one of the three late DMFs is relevant.

FINAL STANDINGS
We have seen a battle between two teams at the top for some time, with quite a bit of change of the lead, but in the end Northerner has prevailed. The six Vingegaard teams take the top 6 spots, and the five of them that included Thomas are the top 5, so strength in depth has been the key.

Congratulations to Northerner on victory, to 18 Valve for keeping it close, to Los Brolin for filling out the podium, to those who made the key pick of Vingegaard, and thanks to all who competed with less success, to the riders, and to CQ and PCS for the results and numbers.

I should be able to do some analysis, but I suspect it will be more likely to be Tuesday than tomorrow.

Woo! I got a top ten on my first tour.
Thanks so much for doing this @Armchair cyclist even though you thought my team of old men was ridiculous

Two old guys isn't a lot.

At least three; Groenewegen and Martinez were there "kids"
