Giro D'Italia 2014 - Pick Three Italians

We'd better get this underway... in the wise words of drheaton, the rules:

Pick three Italians for 50 credits or less, combined fantasy score at the end of the race wins. Only riders making it to the end of the race count, if your's quits mid race, they get no points

I'll also add in an additional caveat; where there are two teams the same, the tie-breaker is who entered their team first. The teams are:

Ghedebrav: Pozzovivo, Cataldo, Buongiorno  103
Dave Atkinson: Pozzovivo, Colbrelli, Frapporti
STEVESPRO: Paolini, Malori, Appollonio
TERatcliffe26: Pozzovivo, Scarponi, Barbin
Enrique: Pozzovivo, Scarponi, Colli
stevemarks: Aru, Viviani, Ponzi
debbieg: Aru, Appollonio, Oss
livestrongnick: Pettachi, Aru, Santaromita
VVV73: : Pozzovivo, Scarponi, Alafaci
ray silvester: Viviani, Cunego, Rabottini
djb123: Basso, Appollonio, Sanaromita
Joelsim: Petacchi, Pozzovivo, Chicchi
NeilG83: Pozzovivo, Petacchi, Montaguti
arsene: Pozzovivo, Aru, Ponzi
Tom Amos: Viviani, Petacchi, Chicchi
chrisdstripes: Nizzolo, Boem, Malacarne
JAndrewHill: Pozzovivo, Zardini, Appollonio
chokofingrz: Pozzovivo, Aru, Chicchi
cgipryan: Viviani, Aru, Chicchi
Stumps: Oss, Scarponi, Cunego
thorolf: Aru, Puccio, Appollonio
JC: Quinziato, Moser, Pozzovivo

john rutherford: Ulissi, Aru, Gatto
drheaton: Pozzovivo, Scarponi, Bandiera
Ed Greenough: Cataldo, Santaromita, Pozzovivo
d_jp: Pozzovivo, Paolini, Malacarne
backflipbedlam: Viviani, Aru, Gasparotto

I did say no more entries above, but given that it's all in the name of fun does anyone have any objections to Mikeh789 and Philip Unwin having their teams entered too?

So it's all sorted now, all teams in and we're up and running.

One question I have though, for the insider-types; I'm guessing somebody needs to give me the scoring spreadsheet or similar so I can work out who's getting what. Might need to brush up my !vlookup skills...

Ghedebrav if you click on the stage scoring tab in the Giro game page you'll get all the riders individual scores.

Ghed, you don't need to check each stage separately. Follw these steps:

1) go to http://fantasy.road.cc/
2) click on GIR to bring up the Giro comp
3) type into your browser http://fantasy.road.cc/riders

That will give you all of the total cummulative scores for this race for all riders still in the race (which is why the rules give zero points to DNFs).

Copy that into a spreadsheet then you can reference the names to peoples teams.

Also, I might still have a spreadsheet kicking around from last year if you want it. I thought I'd posted a link to it on dropbox previously but can't for the life of me find it.

EDIT: Hurrah, found it:

Update going in to the last few stages and it's tight at the top. Withdrawals are taking their toll and a few other riders like Cataldo have started to show themselves. But I wouldn't like to call the eventual winner.

Incidentally, nine of the top ten have Aru and six have Pozzovivo...  26

Ulissi is a DNS today, knocks out top place john rutherford

plus

Santaromita DNS , not good for 3rd place Ed Greenough

Shaken things up a bit... out tonight but I'll see if I can squeeze in another update. Poor john rutherford will be well out of contention. Four people had Santaromita; he'd got 100 points at the last update so it will effect scores considerably. As things stand, looks like it's going to be between backflipbedlam, nata1ia, Twybados and Gmancervelo

I'm still waiting on Bongiorno to do his solo breakaway win. Looking unlikely now  2

Going to be tricky for myself to top it, as other guys have Aru and Pozzovivo,
I'll need Viviani to take the final flat stage to give myself a hope.
Or have Rosa, Gatto and Malacarne to drop out  3

I assume after today it's those who have Pozzovivo and Aru, unless Viviani wins on Sunday  24

Arsene (ponzi), Natalia (Gatto) and Gman (malacarne) to fight it out for the finish, with Chicchi and Rosa out Chokofingerz would place 4th and I assume I finish 5th on tiebreak,

Latest update, going into the final two stages. Gmancervelo looking good, but of course a DNF/S from Malacarne could change everything. I've snuck into the top ten, and am eagerly awaiting the Cataldo-Bongiorno-Pozzovivo podium on the Zoncolan tomorrow.
