    Bahrain won’t win GC, so why not pick either Mader or Padun who, on current form, would almost guarantee stage wins? In the words of Roy Orbison ‘It’s A Mystery To Me.’

    There’s the ‘How to Play’

    There’s the ‘How to Play’ section, but it might not be in there. I can message Dave to update the base scoring notes. There may be a couple of other things we could add, which are kind of known by most who play the game, but seem to lack specific notes. So cheers for bringing this up.

    Oh OK, thanks I’d missed that.

    I’d always gone by the ‘stage information’ for the scoring rules (see attached) but couldn’t see any mention of mountain top finishes not counting. Where should I be looking to see the full rules?

    No KOM points for mountain

    No KOM points for mountain top finishes.

    Trying to find the exact wording. If it’s missing, I can talk to Dave about putting it in the base rules. It’s true for every competition.

    Hi Andy

    Hi Andy

    I’ve just flagged a potential issue with the points scored for stages 17 and 18 (see my latest post in this thread).

    Could you take a look please, assuming you are the main man when it comes to totting up the scores?!

    Many thanks!

    How come no Mountain Points

    How come no Mountain Points were allocated for the final climbs on stages 17 and 18?

    Each of the summit finishes were HC climbs so should have carried the following points: Cat HC: 1st – 20pts, 2nd – 15pts, 3rd – 12pts, 4th – 10pts, 5th – 8pts, 6th – 6pts, 7th – 4pts, 8th – 2pts

    On stage 17, for example, Pogacar should have got 75 points I believe:

    35 for his stage finish

    10 for his GC position

    5 for his young rider jersey position

    4 for his Mountains jersey position

    1 Mountains point for his position on the second from last climb

    20 for Mountains points

    Here therefore should have scored 75 points. But the game only gave him 55 points. I am therefore assuming he is missing his final 20 points for the final climb?

    There are similar issues for the rest of the top 8 on both stages 17 and 18 in that their Mountains points don’t seem to have been allocated to them.

    If I’m right, would you be able to the scores to reflect this oversight?

    Many thanks

    Denny

    Just wondering… Should we be allocating double points for the summit finishes?

    (That would make my score look a bit more respectable – although obviously boost others as well )

    As I said, as a pharmacologist, there are things to watch for.  Cycling is further from clean than at any time since the Armstrong era.

    Some effort that from Cav. He’s got a great team but that took some real physical and mental strength.
