Update #30: escartin wins the week as karaev strikes back
The post-Tour hangover week is obviously lower-key than the Tour GC week, but with San Sebastian (won by a very popular pick) and a few other races, there was still significant scoring from teams this week.
This Week's Top Scorers
escartin puls out the weekly win by a mere 5 points; their team was, of course, powered by Evenepoel's 220 points for a stunning win in San Sebastian, but the less popular Loic Vliegen (168 points, 11 teams) and Eddie Dunbar (92 points, 7 teams) certainly helped put things over the top. karaev comes very close in second based on Evenepoel, Vliegen and Marc Hirschi (112 points, 10 teams), while TheArt nabs third with the same big 2 and some additions from Nizzolo and Gaviria.
This Week's High Movers
A different name on top here, as Wallenquist is one of the only teams jumping up double digit spots. Their team's scoring is largely from Evenepoel, Hirschi, Kristoff (who is almost breaking even for the two teams that have him) and Gaviria. escartin takes second here, while adamski101 scores the final podium spot.
This Month's Top Scorers
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the top scorers of the month are very similar to the top scorers of last week, the week of the Tour GC, since that was by far the highest scoring week. Bernal's 842 points on the month really stand out for fauniera (who wasn't doing so bad in the overall to begin with), with Landa (343) and Eveneopoel (275) helping alot, and Nibali, Aru, Gaudu, Padun, and Kevin Rivera all contributing over 100 points. shalgo has a very close second place with a lot of the same cast as fauniera, although one notable rider is Caleb Ewan who had 465 points for the month! del1962 won the week last week but gets a close third for the month, with the Tour winner and Quintana leading the way.
This Month's High Movers
del1962 may not have won the high scorers, but their team moved up the most in July, over a third of the way up the standings. zlev11 moved a very respectable 31 places, while 18-Valve moved up 30 places with some very efficient scoring - a very top-heavy lineup with 5 riders scoring triple digits and only another 3 scoring double digits, meaning that leap is mostly predicated on 8 riders!
Green Jersey Competition
Some real movement in this competition! TheArt gets 30 points this week and ruvu75 gets 26, to bring them into the top 5... and ruvu would be 1 point out of the lead if armchairclimber hadn't scored 18 points of their own to get some breathing room in the lead overall.
Top 10 Overall
fauniera took the lead last week with a decisive 2nd place on the week, but karaev comes back with a 2nd place of their own this week, outscoring fauniera by 300 points even. Of course, getting second in the Tour GC week is a bit different than a normal week, so fauniera still leads by 81 points overall. Those two have distanced themselves by over 700 points from 3rd place, and over 1000 points from 6th, so they will likely have a good buffer going into the Vuelta. As for the rest of the top 10, some movement, but only TheArt is a new entrant into the top 10, at the expense of Kryvo who falls out.
