Plan is to do another score update on the rest day as it'll no doubt be all change by then.

There's time yet, plus these points only apply if the riders make it to the finish. If Battaglin fails to finish the race then all of the top guys at the minute will be out of the running.

[inquote=drheaton]Managed to cobble together a spreadsheet that's worked out the scores, top three are:

JAndrewHill - 100
taustin789 - 60
Mikeh789 - 55

with lots and lots of people hovering between 40 and 50 points.[/quote]
I Feel a bit like Manuele Boaro, sprinting away on the first climb, but I doubt I will hang on til the finish.

Well, I guess whoever's got Nibali, and a mix of Viviani, Paolini or Pirazzi must be doing well !  1

Battaglin would be right up there too!!

I expect the Nibali,Santambrogio and maybe even Caruso to come to the fore soon.

Don't know, this is getting the point where it'll take me ages to do the scores, think I'll just save it for the Tour and Vuelta.

You want me do them on a spreadsheet? just for the individual riders then can work out which combo has won on the last day?

I don't mind doing it really, this just got a lot bigger than I expected quite quickly  4

Cali wouldn't be too hard as there'd be fewer people interested (as there likely wouldn't be prizes) and I'd have time to set up a clever spreadsheet by then. We can give it a go if people want.

Not bothered, had a think and I reckon it'd be fairly easy to pull the teams into a spreadsheet so I'll just do that, thanks though.

Top post updated with your teams so no changes!

Also, djb123, I assume it's Giampaolo Caruso you've picked as Damiano doesn't fit in your budget  4
