The Giro D'Italia Time Game!

[Eshnar]

I will not be at the PC for the deadline, so I decided to postpone it to the 4 PM CET (the stage is scheduled to finish at 4:45). After the deadline I'll publish the rosters.

 

[Eshnar]

So with the inclusion of oliveira and Galácticos we are 12.
Two of the teams that I recieved have some problems (check your messages), so I won't publish the rosters until the teams involved are perfectly fine.

11. KEITHMCMAHON 02h58.53 +0.36
11. HARTOG 02h58.53 s.t.

The first Maglia Rosa holder is HUSTOLES, the only one who got a grand total of 28 bonus seconds, all of them earned by the sprint bonus of Cavendish. He's also one of the few who managed to avoid the captain malus.

In second place we find GALÃICTICOS, the only player able to get the watercarrier bonus, thanks to Bobridge. He got hit by the captain malus of Wiggins, otherwise he'd have won with a good gap.

In third, KARAEV. He won the sprint of his little group, including HOEGARDEN and ESHNAR, by only 1 tenth of second, earned by Marcato, who got 2'' bonus on an intermediate sprint.

We'll soon publish the overall standings.

Stage 2 ends with a mad sprint between the top three. The winner (by two tenths) is HARTOG, followed by KEITHMCMAHON and GERAINT TOO FAST.

The stage was dominated by the stage time alone, since no one of us got any special bonus the only one who got the captain malus instead was NAIROQ, who managed to avoid the very last position only by sticking to AFRANK's wheel.

Here's the GENERAL CLASSIFICATION:
HUSTOLES 03h20.48 0.00 (Maglia Rosa)

Some of you have picked the very same youth team. That leads to the fact that we have three teams perfectly tied on top of the board.
So I decided to introduce an additional tie breaker for the white jersey:
Who has the worst (young) watercarrier in the gc gets the lead.
By applying this rule, GERAINT TOO FAST wears white.

How can a TTT end with a mad sprint?

Moving on up

 

[Galácticos]

Why was not apllied captain bonus for competitors with Wiggins as CP?

 

[Eshnar]

Why was not apllied captain bonus for competitors with Wiggins as CP?

because Wiggins did not win. The first to the line was Cataldo.

 

[Galácticos]

But today it was not a race between individuals...today won the whole team...so everybody in winning team is the winner of the stage...because everybody in the team gets better time...just my opinion

Good rule.

They got the same time but the placement in the stage is the usual... Using that logic it would be quite uncomfortable to assign the watercarrier bonuses too... I decided to apply the simplest reasoning.

 

[Eshnar]

There was a bias in the stage time. Everyone got two minutes less than the true time
Now all is correct, nothing changes anyway.

 

[oliveira]

by now it really seems like a very nice game!

 

[Eshnar]

by now it really seems like a very nice game!

Glad you appreciate it
Still it's the first edition ever so I expect I'll find something to improve for the Tour

 

[Hartog]

Good thing I got a stage win already. With Tiralongo hurt after a crash I'll be losing a lot of time the next stages.

[keithmcmahon]

speedy results service.
up to 3rd - might have peaked :-(

 

[vladimir]

My Climber Casar out with broken wrist; Cappechi distanced with 14 minutes, and I didn't pick Aru...
Yep, I think it will take a miracle to move me up any rankings here
I promise revenge in the Tour if Eshnar will create one, fascinating concept this little game

Yes you are in deep ****

I'd like to introduce a new rule, but since the game is already running I want the majority of you to approve it.

My idea is that, during the rest days, players should have the chance to substitute the riders that have abandoned the race with other riders from the same (real) team.
If the rider to substitute is young, then the new rider has to be young too, ofc.

Let me know what you think about this. Imho it's a nice idea to spice things up and give a small chance for everyone to come back in contention.
