So, this is how we stand going into the 'first' rest day. I hope your team is doing at least well enough that you are continuing to look at the updates...

My team is doing bad enough, that anything is an improvement.

Salvarani · Aug 29, 2022

Shame Carapaz is not doing better. I think I might have been in the lead if so. Hopefully he goes stage-hunting instead.

Three of the four teams ahead of you also have Carapaz, so probably not.

DJ Sprtsch · Aug 29, 2022

Tao crashing was a major bummer.

EvansIsTheBest · Aug 29, 2022

Lol Remco is getting zero help from my other picks and he's still got my team in 4th. Talk about a one man show.

Stage 10 Individual Time Trial

As predicted, but no less impressive for it. And some impressive unpredicted rides farther down.

I usually put up the whole scroll of shame, rather than just the top ten, on rest days so that most of us can see just how badly we are doing., but this is one stage later.

It wasn't a bad ride at all by Mas compared to expectations, but these points can be cruel. The rest day testing withdrawals take a bite out of many teams.

Standings
Mas and Bennett were mainly why DJW had been top: they are also the reason why he takes the biggest losses on the stage.
Although the support from Almeida is rather less than the 11 managers that picked him might have hoped for, that is all the meaningful support that Evenepoel has in bringing Evans is the Best to the top of the table.

Evenepoel can only lose points in the GC projections, and is unlikely to gain the 30 possible extras he would get by overtaking Pedersen in the green jersey, but he might have another 180 red jersey bonuses to come, plus whatever stage points and improvement in the KoM ranking might come his way. So who has the riders who can combine their earnings in weeks 2 and 3 to stop this being a one-rider victory?

At least the interforum challenge is close: VR regain the lead 730-714

RedheadDane · Aug 30, 2022

At least I didn't lose any points...

Armchair cyclist · Aug 31, 2022

Two riders DNS today, each of whom performed well yesterday and might have given their respective managers some hope for extra points to follow. But no-one suffers the double whammy of having both, and the highest placed to be staring wistfully at a gap in the GC points column is Vladimir in 7th.

And although it is not quite a zero sum game, it is (if we exclude any weighting as to how many times, if at all, a rider is selected) only a -15 point per rider sum game, then others gain from their riders moving into vacated GC spots. Del 1962 crosses the start line today 103 points better off than he crossed the finish line yesterday.

Armchair cyclist · Sep 1, 2022

I won't be able to do stage 11 update (including the effects of DNSs/DNF) until early afternoon tomorrow. Sorry.

Northerner and Bminchow share their top scoring 4 riders, so I had to go to the 5th one for the tiebreaker.

All three teams that overtake EitB today have Mas, Lopez and Carapaz; DJW and Bonimenier both also have Kelderman as their second best scorer, while Mellow Velo's second highest rider is officially the second best sprinter in the Vuelta: Marc Soler.

Hopefully I will get a chance to do some rider data tomorrow.

In the meantime, VeloRooms lead 951 to 927, it looks increasingly like the 4 seasons challenge lead will have changed hands during the final event, and the spreadsheet is here.

Sorry for the delay: I hadn't bothered watching a featureless uneventful sprint stage until late, and when I did it seemed much more interesting to read about it and watch recaps than to do the update.

Stage 16
As far as the scores in the game on the day are concerned, just the sleepy post-restday sprint that was predicted.

Green points
We have not excelled at picking sprinters in this race.

Post-Roglic
But this morning told us something very different about projected scores for many riders.
I haven't tried to account for Taaramae, Conca or Coquard, but when we consider the shifts after Roglic's withdrawal:

MAS NICOLAU Enric	62	5
AYUSO PESQUERA Juan	50	4
ARENSMAN Thymen	25	5
LOPEZ MORENO Miguel Angel	25	22
ALMEIDA Joao Pedro Gonçalves	25	11

KELDERMAN Wilco	6	10
EVENEPOEL Remco	5	1
SOLER GIMENEZ Marc	5	3

ROGLIC Primoz

-402

2

7 teams, including the top 5 overall, gain 100 or more points from this, while DJSprtsch and Yellow Knight suffer heavily from their big spends on the no longer defending champion.

More later...

Red points
Rodriguez lost a couple of places after his fall a couple of stages ago: that doesn't hurt any of our teams, but gives a late bonus to those with Almeida or Arensman.

Given how poor our scores have been on sprint stages since Bennett left the race, it's hard to see much changing tomorrow. Its an evening stage, but I'll confirm the outcomes (as though there were much doubt) asap.

Armchair cyclist · Sep 11, 2022

While we are waiting, and in the assumption that there will be no more non-finishers

How badly hurt have teams been by DNFs?

4 non-finishers: BluesInTheBottle, Zigzag_Wanderer
3: Comodoro, DJSprtsch, Laarsland, Mellow_Velo, Search, Vladimir
2: 18_Valve, ArchieBoy, BicycleBoy, Bminchow, BR2, JumboVismaFan, Leadbelly, Otoxiep87, RedheadDane, Rufs, Titan31, Triley36
1: AmisVelo, Armchair_Cyclist, DJW, Evans_is_the_Best, Madrazo, Northerner, Pman, Salvarani, Yellow_Knight
All 8 completing the race: Bonimenier, Del1962, LosBrolin, Rote_Laterne, Scrooll07

But some DNFs hurt more than others
Roglic Cost 2496 (gained 198) DJ Sprtsch and Yellow Knight
Hayter 1264 (15) Bicycle Boy
Alaphilippe 1231 (6) Redhead Dane
Yates 899 (12) 18-Valve, Blues in the Bottle, Madrazo, Rufs, Search, TRiley36, Vladimir
Sivakov 587 (37) Archie Boy, Armchair Cyclist, Bminchow, Titan31

Results seem to be up, so final update (with very little to show for it) coming shortly...
