That Colombian-Ecuadorian team looks better each day. I also considered Fortunato for my eventual all Italian team, but I ditched him due to his age
If we're talking about riders that we've considered, I considered Hirt and Baudin, which both look among most promising riders of their price range at this stage, although I can't complain about my actual picks of Martinez and Chaves either.

Standings
Because this is the minor category, I'll just show the top ten most days. Although on some days there may be 11 teams in the top ten. And at least for the moment, those are the 11 teams with Pogacar.

Pink points
today
The purplish points can only increase, these can go up or down. Narvaez is now projected as coming 19th rather than first, so on course for 70 GC points rather than 500. But the 70 points for winning the stage yesterday, and 18 for wearing pink today, are guaranteed, even if he doesn't finish. And talking of not finishing, there are 15 points for all who do so, so -15 today for Gesink
I'll show point changes for those riders who are in the game, whose gain/loss is significant by the standards of that day.

I will put the spreadsheet link up, but still a few tweaks to do.
 
Site stores the CQ Points on a daily basis anyway, so decided to add this game as well (although I am at the bottom of the pile, so not sure it's good to be reminded of it so often!):

Quickly hacked it together so if anything is off, please let me know! All it does is just compare latest points versus points of 4th of May. Might still change some small things today.

Reactions: DJ Sprtsch
For once I managed a unique pick with Dunbar that looked great on the first stage but then now out after the crash in stage 2. A bit annoying .

But I guess I should have been able to predict that would happen given his recent history.
 
Stage 3 Just a perfectly normal day for sprinters

Purplish points
11 teams made it clear that there is no upper price limit for GC riders. There seems to be one for sprinters though, as no-one went for Merlier or Kooij (Well, Sam6 did in his B team, and Josedin did initially, but that team had a cost of 8800+)

I tend to assume that any team with more than one sprinter was put together with one eye on the Purplish points classification.

Pink points
On sprint days, there are usually few points changes other than the stage points and the pink bonuses. Today saw quite a few point classification changes and a few GC swaps where riders were split by total of positions.

Tomorrow should be similar. Ish.
 
QueenStagiare_Bteam-25
I did not send a B team in, so this is quite interesting. Maybe my phone is haunted?



Also, I just noticed that my name is misspelled in these updates since the spring classics game. (An i is missing) :p
I tracked it down: it was @rote_laterne2 who sent that team: changed
Your name is also corrected in the spreadsheet
Probably a stupid question, but where in the lists can I see the daily 18 points for the pink jersey?
Those points contribute to the Pink points competition, but not the purplish. Once the spreadsheet is sorted, you'll see those points in column C of the Results tab, and Column G on the Riders tab.

Peixotini, last year's winner, and Amis Velo share 6 riders: the advantage lies in Fortunato outscoring Tiberi and Hirt (thus making Paret-Peintre Jnr irrelevant) And finally some points between Salvarani and Googolplex (thanks to Baillerini)

Should be a third sprint day tomorrow, so not too much change expected, except for a possible consolidation of the direction of travel seen in the last couple of days.
 
Man, these games are too much for me sometimes...

You spend an hour thinking about which cheap riders are likely to score some top10's from breakaways or something and then a guy with one of the least impressive palmares in the entire pro peleton scores a random 3rd place on a stage out of nowhere, and he's on some teams probably for the sole reason of being the only rider with a price of 0...

Can't believe the 0-pointer actually won some points! I was like he must have 0 points for a reason, right?

I can't believe I completely missed Dani Martinez, if I had noticed him for that cheap on the list I would have picked him but I literally never noticed him. I think that is going to put me behind lots of the other Pogi teams
 
Right, let's see if I can catch up a bit

I can see tat there is something wrong with the data, but I can't yet fathom what. I'll post it as I have it in the hope that wherever the error lies it doesn't effect anything too much, rather than delay longer.

It's frustrating to see that the cheap picks that were the closest to making my team, but eventually got rejected, scoring well already or looking good to score later, while my own cheap picks don't do so great.

PIetrobon and Piccolo already scored decently and Hirt looks on course for at least a top15 finish in GC if not top10, while my pick Chaves has tanked so much time today while another of my picks Pickrell already DNFed.

These stories are so common for me in this type of games. I correctly recognise noteworthy riders to my long list, but then tend to pick the wrong ones within the long list itself. I don't know why that happens and why "almost picks" outperform actual picks, so often.

And as a result, plenty of change in the standings.
Peixotini, the overnight leader, had the lowest net score of all today, so relinquishes the lead. Bminchow steps up to take the virtual pink, leapfrogging a few teams.

Standings
The top four on the daily adjustment are also the top four, in the same order, in the totals. Amis Velo had been second for a while, and now gets a turn at the top, as Bminchow drops as suddenly as he rose yesterday.

The top 18 teams are among the 20 teams that have Dani Martinez: only two teams without him are ahead of the 19th with him.
