Tour de France
Thanks for starting the competition.
I assume that Intermarche-Wanty & Arkea teams are missing becuase they were late finalising their line-ups.
Best of luck to everyone ☺

Cavendish and Demare demoted!
I'll be honest, I'm relieved. Had taken Demare out this morning as he's been way off the pace. Thought he had come back to kick my backside!
Scoring Stage 11
Shouldn't Pogacar be on 71 points ?
Mountain points = 10+5+1
Stage = 30
GC = 10
Mountains Classification = 5
Combatitive 10
It looks like the final two 'mountains' haven't been scored for anyone.
Yes you are right. Also some mistakes in finish line points, eg Roglic. Corrected now. Note I did not do original scoring.
Ackermann or Groenewegen, that is the question.
Not the question I'm asking.
I managed to get them both in by dropping Thijssen.
My question was Groenewegen or Gaviria. Yesterday I foolishly replaced Jacobsen with Healy; at stage end I thought Healy should at least get most combative, but no. Jacobsen has scored 38 sprint points and 30 last rider points (plus 5 for Bardet's win); impressive!
Yes, I saw you had Jacobsen in to collect last rider points.
As he pulled out today it has worked out OK for you.
I also expected Healy to get most combatitive yesterday.
Yes, giving it to Pogacar seemed odd. Healy was last man standing from the break so was the prime candidate. Combativity is more a prize for the heroic, but generally doomed, ride of the day (and it helps if you are French)!

Hello - anyone know how the intermediate sprints will be scored in the Tour.
In the past they have been 15,14,13,12,.... I think - but there are no special notes for the tour listed in the stages scoring pages so am assuming they are 6,4,2 only?
The same with mountain points , these were usually scored differently for TdF too.
The intermediate sprints points can make a huge difference to rider selection.
Yes, it would be good to have clarity on this asap. I may need to think about 2 different teams in the meantime.
Extra scoring notes have been added.
Thanks Tony
