Update #28: Tonton gets the stage win, moves up overall
Another non-GC week in the Tour means the CQ points are at a simmer, not yet a boil. Next week will be the real reckoning, but in the meantime, there's a CQ week to be claimed!
This Week's Top Scorers
Rank Team Points this week
1 Tonton 218
2 PremierAndrew 166
3 tobydawq 155
4 AlyKaptan 152
5 DFA123 150
When you have a unique pick that is coming off his best CQ year ever, you know you're a fan of the rider, and this is one of those weeks it all pays off. Tonton gets 135 points from Thibaut Pinot, 80 from Caleb Ewan, and 3 from Cees Bol and that's enough to win the week by a decent margin. Hopefully next week might be a big one too! PremierAndrew slots into second, getting points from a variety of riders including Landa and Ewan, while tobydawq claims third.
This Week's High Movers
Rank Team Up/down
1 AlyKaptan (+7)
1 PremierAndrew (+7)
3 Salvarani (+5)
3 Tonton (+5)
3 Yellow Knight (+5)
Not much movement this week - AlyKaptan ties PremierAndrew for first, on the strength of rare pick Groenwegen (50 points, 2 teams) and unique pick Grosu (66 points). As someone who picked Grosu two years in a row to see him do nothing, it's nice to see him pay off for
someone at least.

Everyone in the top 10 had fewer than 100 points this week, save DFA123 who joins the top 10 at the expense of Object, who just drops out. fauniera gains 44 points on karaev, whose lead is now 56 points. As next week has the Tour GC points, it's likely to be a big one - we shall see how it shakes out!
