Re:
Update #21: Landa Opportunity
Not surprisingly, this year's first GT turned the game upside down. The biggest winners in the overall competition, as we will see below, were two of the three teams with Landa (as netserk already previewed). In the week's competition, the three Landa teams (Cykeltyven, Londonpat, and Netserk) all made it into the top five. They were beaten out for first place, however, by minessa. minessa's top riders on the week were Aru, Visconti, and Kangert. The other team making it into the top five, Yellow Knight, relied primarily on Aru and Visconti.
The two teams with Contador, LaFlorecita and martinaagard, were 8th and 13th on the week, respectively.
13 teams are now into profit on the year. The Hitch, in 14th, has exactly matched his budget of 7482.
This week's top scorers
1 minessa 1251
2 Cykeltyven 1152
3 Londonpat 1146
4 Yellow Knight 983
5 Netserk 897
The large number of points on offer this week resulted in major shifts in the standings. The high mover for the week, gustienordic (another Aru team), moved up an astounding 44 places. Netserk and LaFlorecita (relying on Landa and Contador, respectively), were not far behind. Rounding out the top five were Jpettersen (Aru and Teuns) and our weekly winner, minessa.
This week's high movers
1 gustienordic +44
2 Netserk +41
3 LaFlorecita +40
4 Jpettersen +37
5 minessa +35
Given the number of points available this week, it is not surprising that many of our weekly top scorers also appear on the monthly top scorers list. gustienordic leads the way with 2600 points, followed closely by Netserk, Cykeltyven, and Londonpat.

Because this aspect of the workbook is not functioning for me, I make no guarantees that the monthly high movers list is accurate, but I did my best to generate the numbers by comparing the rankings from week 16 to those this week. It seems intuitively correct that gustienordic and Netserk would be at the top of the list, the former moving from 104th to 30th and the latter from 113th to 44th over the course of the last five weeks.

but the mountains come now so they could still climb on the ranking (especially Atapuma if he isn't injured)
