Well 3 in the top 12, but i had the winner, looking good for points today, here are the official results with climbs and points
http://vueltapaisvasco.diariovasco.com/clasificaciones-ciclistas-vuelta-...
As with the Volta a Catalunya, no young rider category, however we have separate sprints category/points and a separate points category/points
right here goes, nice a prompt today thanks to Gkam.
Wig_Billy takes the early lead, but tight at the top

Let me know if you think I have scored your team incorrectly (its alot easier to make a mistake with more people)
Not that it affects me but, in the official site's website, it shows Martin Velits 14th not Peter (If you scored Peter instead of Martin)
Thanks TER - very bad for me today, as usual the not-quite-as-hilly-as-I-thought stages are my downfall - BUT I do have Peter Velits as well as Sammy Sanchez so I should have slightly more I think...
Cheers, Chris
No i scored Martin (well no-one had him) but cheers anyway Bubby
It was Martin Velits that scored im afraid Chris (and just 4 for sanchez which quite a few people got), i almost gave you the points. Still time for big changes yet
Its a marathon, not a sprint, . . . . i hope
Thanks TER.
I have probably counted this wrong, but . . .
Galdos = 2
Sanchez = 4
Gorka = 14 + 3
2 MOV riders = 10 (kiryienka and Inxausti)
Total 33 ???
Yep correct, missed off Inxausti sorry, its things like that are easy to miss!
I presume you mean Garcia Lopez? I cant find him the rider database for his price
Oh well, I knew he was a risk.
Really regretting it now
Need to know who you mean by lopez and price...
