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 was only kidding(sort of!!).

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.

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.

Right, game is closed!

I'll drop all these into a spreadsheet and announce the winner at the end of the race. If I'm really bored I might post a mid-race update.

Just done a check and no-one has Visconti and he's the highest scoring Italian already.

Was going to pick Visconti for my team but couldn't fit him in, typical !

Hope this isn't the story of my Giro.

He might be quite good in the MM stages and there are quite a few of them.

I think I might lead with Canola having 4 points.

Can I have Locatelli Modolo Pirazzi
All from one team Bardiani Valvole. Unlikely to win, just want to support the little team.

Yes. Still haven't troubled the scorer!

JAndrewHill - 100
taustin789 - 60
Mikeh789 - 55

with lots and lots of people hovering between 40 and 50 points.

I Feel a bit like Manuele Boaro, sprinting away on the first climb, but I doubt I will hang on til the finish.

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

Battaglin would be right up there too!!

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