And her they come TER....

Forum's Scorum's TOUR OF OMAN
Stage 3: 1)stumps 2)Wig_Billy 3)naffets
race leader happylemon

Stage 4: 1)Ghedebrav(purist) 2)Wig_Billy 3) Wig_Billy(purist)
race leader happylemon

hell of a lot of 127 scores and lots of purists going well in this stage

Stage 5: 1)nata1ia 2)simon F 3)chrisdstripes
NEW race leader naffets(tut-tut lemon....no Froome....and your sister takes the stage?)

Stage 6: 1)adholman(purist) 2)the domestique 3)backflipbedlam

An absolute dead-heat for the overall win between naffets and nata1ia with countback seeing the race going to naffets on season GC......particularly harsh on Nata1ia as she is not premium and so has no chance really of getting as many points as naffets on the season but.....how else are we going to differentiate?

FINAL GC(plus FSUCI pts):

1)naffets 10
2)nata1ia 6
3)happylemon 3
4)stevemarks 2
5)cherrypicked 1

PURIST:

1)ray silvester 5
2)Twybados 4
3)chrisdstripes 3
4)adholman 2
5)johnny2names 1

I tell you what TER I hope those points you're after came in Algarve(scores to come in a minute as well as a hugh FSUCI ranking update!!)

don't panic FS'ers...going to do a double day-double race update in the morning.....ong boring day on call at work tomorrow

i will say though that it looks like TER has had a very nice couple of days

I believe there may be a stewards enquiry into the identity of Pereira's in Algarve

Oman S3 and Algarve S2 results on hold

I overlooked that cherrypicked is now at No1 on the season overall

Forum's Scorum's Volta Ao Algarve stage 1 was opened up with a win for the domestique followed home by adholman and FSUCI No 1cherrypicked

Forum's Scorum's Tour of Oman stage2 was taken by rcorbin with a HUGE 214pts from naffets and happylemon(lemon pipping sister c4rolina on race GC).....unfortunately he is INELIGIBLE for GC on this race but will pick up points for the stage(see rules re start stages)......happylemon leads the race

You'll be telling me that Julie Danson is your wife next LOL

you have got to be kidding me......3 of your littl'uns beat me!!

Twybados,stevemarks,happylemon(first podium) are your 123 on the opening stage in Oman(steve 'pips' lemon on overall season GC countback)......looked like a decent day in the marks household as I believe 4th and 5th placed natal1a and c4rolina are steve's daughters?

Bit worrying but TER and Wig dominated in Oman last season too!!

Forum's Scorum's TourMed stage 5 was won by TERatcliffe from Twybados and cherrypicked to secure his first title of the season.....he must like it out there on the French Riviera as he won the purist last season(taken by Wig_Billy this time who took the standard last year!!)

cherrypicked had a race to remember to be honest and now leads the season overall and the FSUCI rankings.....chapeau indeed

I kind of like searching through the green arrows one-by-one to be honest

#OldSchool

The good doctor does indeed score points for his standard and purist teams finishing se4cond and third in the Forum's Scorum's Tour Med ITT(bloddy Cummings is on fire!!)but it's Twybados who wins the skinsuit race....adding the points for saturday mornings short stage the FSUCI

TERatcliffe is the new yellow polka dot jersey wearer in the South of France but has only a 1pt lead over cherrypicked so......all to play for on the last stage climb to Toulon....and naffets could easily take it if he picks up the stage winner today whilst others will have already turned their attention to the last 2 races of these Desert/Med legs in Oman and the Algarve.

Very competitive mini-league this season TER......4 of the top 10 on the season overall(including No1 and No3)so far.

Still....2nd place on the Forum's Scorum's Tour Med stage 3 pipped only by FSToQ winner Julie Danson and ahead of adholman is not to be sniffed at.

cherrypicked remains in the yellow polka jersey with his PURIST team......he couldn't go all the way with it could he?

I'll put up the FSUCI rankings after the ITT

Looks like a stewards inquiry with the scoring on stage 3 over Degenkolb's points......going to delay scoring it here.
