Yeah - but torx is obviously the plural of torque, so you're getting more for your money.

I got a full house, hurrah. I had Visconti in for ages and he did nothing so I dropped him, never mind.
Took cheap filler Visconti out to add a cheap GC rider. Visconti scores huge. Facepalm.
I have Visconti in my purist team. Wasn't put in as a filler because I had plenty of budget, I was banking on today, but I thought he might have done another one earlier in the tour
Would have done better if id known gerrans was pulling out.
He's the only cheap filler who has been in my team from the start. The others have gone, on the hope that he would do something on one stage.
3 little ducks 222, everybody scored as well, on page 1 for 2nd day in a row. might crash into the top 500 soon. ha ha.
Unbelievable how so many people happen to have visconti!
Must have missed a memo or something
I was thinking this too! Amazing to me that so many picked him...colour me green I guess
Edit....just checked and he's a 3.3 value rider....that's why so many had him - cheap filler!
Wow! Scores are up! Thanks!
Great score Joelsim - joint 20th - exactly the same as me
very happy to pick up lots of badges - 200, podium, full house and finally got my 2K too !
Nice one Debbie. At last a decent stage for me. Got 4 transfers to play with though too which is nice. 3 points off my 2k so realistically I should get that tomorrow!
237 inc Bardet's most combative I think
Yep, not counted those points.
Careful with your points predictions.....summit finish so the KOM pts for the last climb won't count?
1,2,3,4,11,14,16
Not too bad
Also full house, which I really didn't think I'd get. Been short on badges this Tour, despite rattling around the top 50 in the overall. Maybe I should pick Cheng Ji to get that elusive LR/bookends badge...
No Majka today though. 2,3,4,10,11,12,13 plus classification points for Tommy V & Konig. Resisting changes tomorrow, banking them for the flat.
King Leopold is 9th overall.
Taaramae gets 1 point
Tommy V is 5th in mountain competition
FULL HOUSE!!!
Full house, 200 pt badge today. Yay! 227 I think.
1,4,11,12,13,18 + Jrod, Tommy V & Konig(if he's still top 10)!
Heh heh, he does score...full house!
1,2,3,4,7,11,12 for me today plus J-Rod and Konig. Probably Konig won't score and so my full house goes!
Taaramae has one mountain point today - and now I have a full house!
Barring a major belly-up, Majka, Jrod, Tommy V, Nibbles, Pinot, Bardet, King Leopold and Peraud will all score GC or mountain points today
At this rate Tommy V might not score today!?
which would be another missed full house for me 
Took first penalty, put in JRod, Majka & DeMarchi for KOM shootout!
