Who are going to be the big hitters in the next few days I wonder?

not doing well If it wasn't for Boasson Hagen I'd be last.

Oh even better.

Well spotted, Miffed, actually it's 16 points - 6 for the stage finish, 6 for the GC position, and 4 for being second in the Young Rider competition.

He's in my team too, so this clearly needs to be sorted

In my defense for my pedantism im really jet lagged atm, there's not much to do in student halls in New Zealand at 5 am

I think I now have a legitimate beef with the points. Should Gerint Thomas not have won 12 points today (15 on stage = 6, plus 5 in GC = 6)? I goy nil points

In that case, I think there's a problem because I can't work out where I select riders.

yes you are, you just get points from the first stage after you join

Are you able to sign up and create a team after the start? Just signed up and can't figure out how to pick riders

Missed that, Gandberg (busy setting up report) - he didn't read out my tweet about how in Italy, Captain Birdseye goes by the name Capitano Findus, did he?

Ah, just heard Simons correction read out on eurosport by Carlton Kirby. Can't have been another MacMichael, could it?

Glad I transferred Lars Boom into my side today, thought he might want to represent as the race left Holland

thanks, getting confused between GC and on the day points.

Nikalway beat me to it, thanks

Miffed, you should have 18 points for Farrar (14 stage + 4 GC position), 12 for Gerdemann (11 + 1). Anything else and something's broken, so let us know.

I'll flag the Google Doc spreadsheet request to Dave, don't know if that is doable.

And someone on Twitter asked if we could let people see which riders others had in their teams, so that's on the list too

Both Gerrderman and Farrar got stage points and GC points points.

* 20 points for first position on the stage down to 1 point for 20th position
* 5 point bonus for every other member of the stage winner's team
* 10 points for overall leader in the GC down to 1 point for 10th position
* Intermediate sprint points as awarded for the stage (not stage finish)
* Intermediate KoM points adjusted* for the stage (not summit finishes)
* 5 points for the White jersey leader down to 1 point for 5th position
* 20 point bonus for the most combative rider. We love those guys.
* Lanterne Rouge: 10 point bonus for rolling in dead last. At least you tried.

* KoM points are adjusted as follows. Basically the number of riders who score is the number of points on offer over any col.

* Cat 4 & Cat 3: as awarded
* Cat 2: 6 points for first down to 1 point for sixth
* Cat 1: 8 points for first down to 1 point for eighth
* HC: 10 points for first down to 1 point for 10th

just signed up to the billy no mates league. The I agree about the transfers, being able to set them up at the same time would be the solution (though I dont know how hard thatd be).

Also the scoring is hard to work out, ive got big points for gerrderman and farrar that I cant work out how i got, but not complaining. Would it be possible to get breakdown of the scores (a google docs spreadsheet of all the riders scores each day would surfice) juts being too geeky.

Same problem here; I can't replace Farrar with Cavendish because Cav's more expensive, but that wouldn't be a problem if I could replace Wiggins with VandeVelde. But I can't do that because I've already got Farrar and Millar. This could get annoying...

nice game - chapeau

Finding the transfers a pain with the 2 riders per team rule causing problems with points limit. Say I'm trying to change Wiggins to Menchov and Freire to Cavendish, not enough points to do the sprint swap first, too many Rabo riders to do the GC swap first. The end result is OK I'd have enough points, and only 2 riders from rabobank

c'est la vie

bon chance
