    In the event of a tie, the following criteria, where applicable, will be used to determine the winner:
    1-Highest single stage score posted within a competition
    2-Most scoring riders on a stage
    3-Highest scoring individual on a stage
    4-Fewest transfers used within a competition
    5-Coin toss

    Ok so looking at the 2 of us:
    1-We have the same highest single stage score so far in the Vuelta (169)
    2-I had more scoring riders on yesterdays stage
    3-We both have John Degonkolb
    4-He has used fewer transfers than me so far

    So basically my question is who wins the prize? Maybe Dave could clarify?


    One sock each perhaps?…

    Now that’s a distraction. I’ve finally recovered from some kind reaction to pollen (final prognosis) initially a cough – go get some cough mix, then it was whooping cough – yer to late for antibiotics sir, then it was a chest infection. Finally the new doc said pollen!! Apparently the high count in May caused my lungs to react by producing asthmatic symptoms. Basically any exertion gave me a coughing fit and inability to breath so long rides were out bar the short commute. She gave me an inhaler and within a week everything had settled. Now feeling confident to tackle some big hills without coughing my lungs up – LOL not been a great summer this year

    I banked a transfer too
    I banked a transfer too brining in Lodewyck for Talansky.Would have been for any of the other DS’ but credits wouldn’t allow.

    Lodewyck seems to be flavour of the month…..if you listen in to a conch shell on the beach you can hear his name being whispered šŸ˜‰

    Froome
    J-Rod
    Davis
    Degenkolb
    Lodewyck
    Quintana
    DeLaFuente
    Florencio
    Cesar

    Gadret’s been in a crash already……he could easily be ‘Bust of the year’?
