Not bad for my first actual chance of getting any points.

A possible cancellation of the Willunga stage will be a complete disaster for my team. I really hate these things about cycling.

Possible 'extreme' bushfire risk in that area due to the heat.

while the team has made no mention of the race in any way, the organiser says all wt teams will be at the start

Thanks, Visma have now been added to the startlist for The Surf Coast and Cadel races. Potentially, very good news for the Brennan teams

I hope the young Dane kicks his ass again. No offence (I am Brennanless).

I agree!

There are now only 10 teams left with no points (I'm part of this club). Is there some kind of reward for the last team to score a point?

Also, does anyone know a good lawyer? There may be a few things that need to be reviewed in these contracts...

 

[Squire]

Well, that was a painful TDU stage for my team.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pretty horrendous day for every single expensive pick in the race, thankfully I also have Kron and Brenner.

Well, I got a stage win yesterday, so... I guess me having luck two days in a row is against the rules.

Actually, it's fewer than that.
Pretty sure your post was after stage 1, where I got a nice little haul.

The site hasn't been updated yet with those points, can't blame someone for not manually going through every team that is still on 0 there.

Of course not.
And yesterday, I don't think it was as much the site that hadn't been updated, as it was CQ that hadn't been updated. Which meant that the site didn't get updated, because that's based on CQ.

Is that from the spread-sheet (the one Skidmark runs)?

Also, why are some bold and others underlined?

Ya, it's copied straight from the spreadsheet. So the links are just the links to the various sheets. Not sure why some names are bold in the spreadsheet. This is the week 0 spreadsheet with only points added.

Oh, I thought the spreadsheet was updated once a week, so the TDU points wouldn't have registered on it.

You can just add the points yourself to the 2026 tab, it's not that hard with the few races there have been.

 

[Pantani4ever]

The Vine takeover of this game has begun!

 

[RedheadDane]

I have noticed an odd little thing regarding the list of upcoming races in our individual player profiles; it appears all riders who are starting races on the same day are listed alphabetically, regardles of exactly which race they're starting in, resulting in situations such as this (using Mason07 as an example):

2026-02-01	Trofeo Palma	BOUWMAN Koen
2026-02-01	Grand Prix Cycliste de Marseille La Marseillaise	DECOMBLE Maxime
2026-02-01	Trofeo Palma	HOBBS Noah
2026-02-01		KRIJNSEN Jelte
2026-02-01		PICKERING Finlay

I'm normally happy to be top of a table, but not so much of this table.

Remember I have a delete button when humiliating my team like this...

Hey! Could be worse... you could be last on the list.

 

[armchairclimber]

Pretty terrible day for me ... saved only by Kron, who is now pretty much my only hope of GC points, unless there's a surprise breakaway winner.
Good race for the Vinos....

edit. Just checked, thankfully there is only one.

 

[del1962]

You’re now top 25 😀

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Of course Kron has relearned how to ride a bike once I've removed him from my team.
