Stage 20 the 5000m+ stage
Green points
A repeat winner means that we have had 12 individuals win stages, 7 of whom have been selected
Two teams outdo yesterday's top scorers, and pick the complete podium.
Standings
A big chunk taken out of the lead, but...
It would need something like 2nd in the ITT from Mas, or two of Dunbar, Riccitello and Lafay getting 3rd and 5th, for TRiley to overhaul DJW, who has dominated this.classification. If Ion Izagirre doesn't win tomorrow, it is out of reach for Rufs.
Red points
Non stage point issues today include Rodriguez dropping in GC, and changes in green and polka dot classifications
Sam6 probably thought that when Caruso DNFed he could no longer top any lists, as TRiley has exactly the same combination, but with Poole instead. But Poole getting a negative score on the day gives him the chance to benefit from the gains of Dundar, Roglic and Mas.
Standings
Almost done, and similarities between the top teams makes much change unlikely. The six teams that combine Roglic and Mas are now the top 6.
Roglic aside, Time trial specialists were not chosen much, and after three weeks, its hard to know who might score tomorrow, but unless the day is catasrophic for somebody, I'm not seeing where much more change might come from. But time will tell.

Roglic aside, Time trial specialists were not chosen much, and after three weeks, its hard to know who might score tomorrow, but unless the day is catasrophic for somebody, I'm not seeing where much more change might come from. But time will tell.
Hmm, very possible, I hadn't noticed that. But I think Dunbar could be vulnerable to Yates too. But there is enough there to keep some final day jeopardy.
Stage 21 Final stage time trial in Madrid
Green points
The two GC top ten guys that were top ten in the stage are the two that got picked
No-one put the two of them together
Final standings
Between Roglic, Groves and Poole, DJW had the first selected finisher in 13 stages, I believe. Mas and Dunbar (more of him later) did decently for TRiley, but not the sort of placings that lifted him above second, and Ion Izagirre obviously didn't get the memo that a big performance was needed out of him, so Rufs remains third.
Red points
Other than the stage points, there were some changes of position: one being very important.
For the teams that had Roglic, the best they could do today was to have no-one else that mattered: unusually the best red points for the day are no higher than the best green scores.
Final standings
One of those teams that would have been better off if they only had Roglic was erstwhile leader Madrazo. When Skjelmose took back enough time on Gaudu to pass him for 5th, he dropped below TRiley, for whom Dunbar crucially defended 11th place from Yates. So in the last few minutes, it all changed.
Very little else by way of last day swaps
Congratulations to TRiley, commisserations to Madrazo, recognition to Vladimir for filling out the podium.

Congratulations to TRiley, commisserations to Madrazo, recognition to Vladimir for filling out the podium.
Been taking part in these games for a while, and I think this is my first victory. Guess blind squirrels do find nuts. Congrats to Madrazo and Vladimir and a big thanks to Armchair Cyclist for running the game! Props also to Sam6 for being like minded!
So, not surprisingly, having a team consisting only of a bunch of old dudes isn't a winning strategy.
Especially not when over half of them drop out...
Especially not when over half of them drop out...
You are allowed to try to pick a team to win, or at least have a chance, you know. You should try it some time.
I do... sometimes... - but not this time - it just... rarely seems to work.
I was seriously worried for a while that I was gonna get the first ever DNF - all riders out - in one of these games.
Damn, I knew Roglic was too cheap to not include him but I had a choice: either have him or all the riders from 200-400 range that I wanted. Went for the latter and it was probably a bad decision.
Congrats to the winner and thanks to Armchair Cyclist for running the game!
Congrats to the winner and thanks to Armchair Cyclist for running the game!
Thanks as always for running the game AC! I guess not even Van Aert's demise was going to counteract having only one genuine GC guy in the team but pretty happy with points from the break and to top the green standings
Riders scoring 100 pts +
Best possible team:
Total 2503, so TRiley scored 77% of the best possible score.
That would have scored 734 green points, and very narrowly won that classigication, but the best possible team if that were the goal was:
for 1237 green points, but only 6th overall with 1623 red points.
The top 12 teams all had Roglic, but if you had decided to go without him, you could have had a huge winning margin with
and 2376 points overall.
The best possible team made up of riders that nobody selected would have won the Green competition by a huge margin, but been mid-table (1277 points) in the main game:
TRiley's winning team was:
But even if those 8 were not allowed, he could have been beaten a team of those he declined:
for 2144/768
Impeccable picks:
Roglic
O'Connor
Mas
Groves
Dunbar
Berrade
Vine
Parra
Kruijswijk
Sotto
Bouchard
You would have been better off sending in a team that included Dunbar and only cost 2925 points than leaving him out and buying a more "prestigious" pick instead.

Not necessarily: the mistake was selecting Carlos Rodriguez as the biggest name you could afford after going for them (and 3 of your four in that price range were pretty successful). Had you had the foresight to take O'Connor instead, you would have been only a few points off the podium. Dunbar instead of Haig as well, and you would have won.
Even so, congratulations on being the top non-Roglic team.
Ah, thanks, didn't realise that.
It reinforces my point about not taking Roglic being a mistake, though.

Here is the spreadsheet Let us know if there are any other fascinating stats lurking in there.
Still some Women's CQ and Emerging Riders' games updates to go before the end of the year, and keep an eye out for the (non-CQ) Cyclocross game (probably to start with the first of the main series events, which I think is an Exact Cross in mid-October), and before you know it, we'll be making lists for the 33 man Main Game all over again (as if you haven't been doing so since February)

Congrats to the triley36 and Madrazo on an exciting finish and to Salvarani on topping the 4 season challenge. Thank you to armchair for hosting again.
For some reason having my team suck is a lot easier to stomach than being derailed by injury/bad luck. I'm a bit annoyed that Tiberi having to retire midway through probably ended up costing me both the Vuelta and the 4 seasons challenge. To be fair, I guess I'm not alone in having some bad luck and a number of other people could make a similar argument. Either way, I can't wait for next year.

So, errr... you get a 100 points for every K one of your riders ride home after the race, right?
