Just wait until Kerbaol and Labous go 1-2 in the Tour GC... and I'll be able to crawl my way up to 14th.
22 July to 18 August The most prestigious of updates, with the Olympics and the TdF (and almost nothing else)
Riders' points in these races (only riders picked for the game)
Having the top two scorers across the time slot as unique picks is not enough to be the high scorer:
Rufs top score brings him into the top ten, ousting Salvarani. The top three are even farther clear of the rest, but of the three, Samu scored most poorly this time around. Bminchow is now over 200 points clear.
I'm guessing that I will next give this attention once the Vuelta is over.

L'Orient Agglomeration Ceratizit, l'Avenir, Tour de l'Ardeche, Tour de Romandie, and a handful of 1.1s
Main points gained by picked riders in these three weeks:
Points earned
Last time two big scoring unique picks weren't enough to be top scorer in that timeframe: this time it is.
Standings
First and third this time around are fairly low in the year long rankings, but second place is Leadbelly, moving up within the top tem, and 4th is the leader Bminchow, stretching his lead by more than 100 points. Ruvu gets a bit closer to Samu, Amis Velo gets closer to both of them, but gaps are such that it would take a big result to change anything in the top 5.
Can't promise whether the next update will include one major championship (Euro's) or two (Euro's and Worlds)

(I think Koerner is just about sneaking into profit. CQ is being a bit slow with updating, but she's just two points short. Unless, of course she's not getting any points because she got dropped so early...)

September 9 to 29
Other than Leadbelly, the teams to pick the World Champion were DJSprtsch and Jon Ezeitza, though their back-up selections failed to get them high in the rankings for this session.
Standings
A strong score from Ruvu, and rather average yields from Bminchow and Samu Cuenca means that the top three are even farther clear of the rest, but at least have some intrigue, for second if not for top spot. I haven't looked at rider calendars for October to see if there is anyone going to score the final decisive points. Slow Climber moves into position of best of the rest, but the podium seems out of reach.
I'll aim for an update after the Simac Tour, which will leave not much more than the Chinese races to finish.
