Got Mirko Selvaggi in both of my teams as a breakaway rider....Stage 3 in the break all day.... result 1 lousy point...
I give up...
Ouch. Stick with him - I had matysiak in the break on sat and he got zero, but came good yesterday...
Les, I've just checked your transfers and scores, They are alright

Copy and past your transfers as I can't see them like Dave can
Still think my stage three points are wrong. Got rid of Wiggens added in Henao still have Wiggens in score sheet no Henao.
Les Ed
Nice one, thanks GKam
OK, got the official, sorting it out now
I'll keep an eye out for the official scores, because the tour do it later on.
So I've done it on the unofficial where Matysiak got a 1st and 2nd in the sprints = 10 points
Lol, maybe we need a sticky at the top of each thread!
And I managed to get 42 points! Woo
Its only two points different, but I'm mainly asking this to check I understand correctly how the points are being scored...
Matysiak
2 sprints @ 6pts each = 12pts
1 cat 3 @ 3pts
3rd overall in sprints comp = 3pts.
Total 18pts, but he was only awarded 16?
Cheers, C
The reason I can't change it, because its just a general scoring chart. Dave has to do it.
He is currently on his jollydays, So when he returns, we can discuss it
Fair enough.
I thought I must have missed it.
But why does it say Points in the scoring details? Why is the text not changed to say Sprint?
Oh no big tin can opened.....worms everywhere!
best get a pan of water on 
Turn the gas off.
I guess I should mention this daily,
Its the sprints competition that's being scored, not the points, because the points are purely finish line
Maybe I have missed something but should Rafal Majka not get 15 points today? 10 for GC and 5 for leading the points comp?
Ok, everything seems to have gone without a hitch....
I shall await the raft of people asking questions, I am in a happy mood today
Scores are coming soon, this is when we'll see if my cock up the other day has resolved itself....
So are we thinking it might be a sprint finish tomorrow?
For what its worth, from the parcours I'd normally say its about 80-20 in favour of a sprint finish (it was a sprint last year), except for the fact that this 6-man-teams thing could make it more difficult for the pack to get organised if a good late attack goes. Plus there are GC gains to be had this year, whereas last year they were all keeping their powder dry for the penultimate stage. The rest of this week could be very unpredictable...
2, 3, 6, 9 plus my GC riders. Average but not great with 20 pen points to take away
+ 11-19

I think Izagirre came 18th!
looks like I should of brought in some sprinters
4 man break have 75 secs with 15k to go, probably will get hoovered up in time for a sprint
Pens for me too, although can't believe i missed Hutarovich and mezgec
Howard-hope Kruopis isn't No1 sprinter!

Hedged my bets and took one penalty for these...
Majka
Henao
Rebellin
Matysiak (in the break!)
Huzarski
Swift
Mezgec
Golas
Kruiswijk (will transfer out tonight for whoever looks strong in the sprint today, assuming thats what happens...)
PS - the break is 8 mins ahead - Matysiak, Dyachenko, Mestre and Selvaggi.
