Update #21: Hipster week
Sorry for the delay, there was some confusion about who was gonna do this update.
A pretty quiet CQ game week, but we probably needed that for our post-Giro hangover. There were actually a great number of points on offer: One 2.HC stage race, three 2.1 stage races, three 1.1 races, one 2.NC and a bunch of 2.2s and 1.2s. The problem was that almost nobody had the big scorers in Luxembourg, Korea etc.
This Week's Top Scorers
Rank Team Points this week
1 archieboy 368
2 armchairclimber 305
3 Jon_Ezeitza 273
4 VeloRooms 264
5 zlev11 257
Hence, it was the week of the hipster teams. zlev's popularity ranking of 104th out of 133 teams makes theirs the most 'popular' team in the top 5. archieboy takes the week, and underscoring the hipster nature of this week, the majority of his 368 points were scored by riders picked less than 10 times. Oomen's 7 points and Pidcock's 28 points being the exception. Boucles de la Mayenne winner Mathieu Van der Poel (152 points) did most of the scoring, with Anthony Perez (75 points from Luxembourg) and Max Kanter (61 points from Mayenne) chipping in with decent amounts.
For armchairclimber in 2nd place, it's quite fitting that Romain Seigle, 2nd behind Van der Poel in Mayenne, is the top scorer with 85 points. The egalitarian team of Jon_Ezeitza in 3rd also rides the fortunes of Van der Poel, supplemented by Sbaragli's 48 points from GP Lugano and other minor scorers.

5 Yellow Knight (+5)
A double-double for the teams of lower-case a's this week. archieboy's leap moves him into the top 50. The 3rd highest mover, zlev11, brings some exotic Korean points with the almost-unique pick of Mihkel Räim.
This Month's Top Scorers
Rank Team Points this Month
1 HelgeBlendet 2637
2 zlev11 2624
3 Eric10 2516
4 torcia_86 2301
5 Squire 2192
The month of May is behind us, and it's no surprise that Giro dominator HelgeBlendet is the monthly top dog. Another Giro high-roller, zlev11, who also had another good week now, takes a close 2nd place. Coincidentally (or maybe not), zlev11 was top-scorer for the month of May last year. They seem good at hitting peak shape for the end of the Giro. Is it Kruijswijk in disguise?
This Month's High Movers
Rank Team Up/down
1 zlev11 (+68)
2 HelgeBlendet (+55)
3 Eric10 (+53)
4 archieboy (+41)
5 torcia_86 (+33)
Many of the same names here. 68 places is quite a massive leap for zlev11. torcia_86 is the one who has made the most noise towards the top of the standings, with a very good month bringing them up to 14th overall.
Green Jersey Competition
Rank Team Total

5 Jon_Ezeitza 120
archieboy continues to reap rewards from his good week, and moves to 3rd in the green jersey competition. Jon_Ezeitza is in the points for the first time since January (

), and that is good enough to jump back into the top 5.
Top 10 Overall

8 (-3) LightBing 7437
9 (-) MADRAZO 7330
10 (-) scrooll07 7261
Very little change here, which is to be expected with few and rare points being scored this week. LightBing has a bit of a disastrous week, and GP Blanco is the one to profit the most. In other news, four more teams are now in profit, joining ruvu75 and Eyeballs Out.
