Re: Re:
Update #19: Sagan Too Fast
One of the big questions from the beginning of this year's game was which, if any, of the popular "expensive" picks--Froome, Sagan, and Rodriguez--would pay off. It is still unclear whether any of them will end up in profit, but Sagan took a big step towards rewarding the players who picked him with his victory at the Tour of California this week. Four of this week's five top scorers were therefore "Sagan" teams, including will10, who amassed more than 1000 points. In addition to Sagan, will10 had several high scorers from California, including Henao, Dombrowski, Gesink, and Cavendish, and the winner of the Bayern Rundfahrt, Alex Dowsett, who was picked by only eight teams.
This week's top scorers
1 will10 1029
2 Mellow Velo 918
3 freshman 852
4 the_fool_on_the_hill 824
5 fauniera 801
With all of the points on offer this week, it is not surprising that there were some significant moves in the overall standings. Mellow Velo was the highest mover of the week, climbing 33 places, while several others climbed 20 or more spots. freshman moved from 68th to 38th. the_fool_on_the_hill went from 55th to 26th. Jspear appears in this list for the second week in a row.
