Vuelta stage 16

I know where I went wrong,
I know where I went wrong, the wrong DS picks at the start plus the cost of the extra transfers to fix it is what’s cost me really. If I’d started with Talansky, Meersman, Quintana, Bouhanni and Marczynski I’d be fighting for top spot but I picked De Weert and Da Fluente instead of Meersman and Talansky which cost me maybe 120 points early on plus 40 in penalty transfers.

What’s most annoying is that I made the right picks on my purist team which is why I’m doing well.

One of the hardest things about this game is trying to change DSs when the terrain keeps changing, in the first week where I kept having to swap out climbing and sprinting stars there was no way for me to change DSs without being hit with the penalty.

Also, I probably stuck with Froome over Valverde for one or two stages too many.

216 for my purist team with 6
216 for my purist team with 6 scorers

159 for my main team with 7 scorers

Your having a laugh GKam.

There is nothing to win for a
There is nothing to win for a stage victory in the Vuelta. So a draw is a draw 👿

That’s interesting simon, but
That’s interesting simon, but these are the tiebreakers I was thinking of:

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

For anyone who’s interested
For anyone who’s interested (from the official regs) :-

1. OVERALL TIME CLASSIFICATION.
This is obtained from the sum of the times recorded by each
rider for each stage, applying the corresponding bonuses and
penalties, with the best placed rider being the one with the
lowest total time.
In the case of a tie between two or more riders, the
hundredths of a second in the individual time trial stages
shall be applied, with the winner being the rider with the
lowest total hundredths of a second. If the result is still tied
or if there are no individual time trial stages the placing
obtained in each stage shall be added and, as a last resort,
the place obtained in the last stage ridden shall be taken
into consideration.

2. OVERALL POINTS CLASSIFICATION.
This is obtained from the sum of the points earned by each
rider in each stage and in all of the intermediate sprints
(except the first stage. – TTT). If there is a tie in the total
number of points, each of the riders in the tie shall be
awarded the points corresponding to the starting position.
Stage Points:
1º 25 points 9º 7 points
2º 20 points 10º 6 points
3º 16 points 11º 5 points
4º 14 points 12º 4 points
5º 12 points 13º 3 points
6º 10 points 14º 2 points
7º 9 points 15º 1 point
8º 8 points
Intermediate Sprints:
1º 4 points
2º 2 points
3º 1 point
The top classification shall go to the rider with the best
score after applying any penalties pursuant to the scale of
penalties established in the UCI Regulations. Pursuant to
article 2.6.017 of the said Regulations, In the event of a tie
in the Overall Points Standing, the following criteria shall be
applied in order until the riders are separated:
• Number of stage wins.
• Number of wins in intermediate sprints counting for the
Overall Points Standing.
• Overall Standing on Time.

3. Overall climber classification.
This is obtained from the sum of the points earned by each
rider on the applicable climbs. The rider with the most points
receives the top classification. In the event of a tie, the
winner shall be the rider with the first place in the “Cima
Alberto Fernandez”. If there is still a draw, the number of
first places in the high-climb finished will be applied, and,
if necessary, the number of first places on climbs in the next
inferior category and so on.
If the tie still persists, the Overall Standing on Time will
apply.
