    Last minute start list as usual.

    Note stage 3 TTT isn’t a TTT as we know it. To quote inrng “riders get the time they cross the line with, when normally a team’s time depends on the fourth or fifth rider. No longer is a team only as quick as its fifth rider.” I’m still trying to get my head around the race and game implications. The top 10 results will probably be 10 individual riders, but their success will probably depend on team strength, so I’m inclined to score as per TTT scoring, with each team member scoring according to the result of their “captain”, but if say 2 riders from the same team are in the top10, then the 11th place rider’s team gets 10th place.. But it has changed who I was expecting in my TTT team.

    Yeah, I wasted one bringing

    Yeah, I wasted one bringing in Matthews.  I tried to wait for news but read the stage was still on.  What can you do?

    Route for Stage 6 changed

    Route for Stage 6 changed because of high winds, 2 laps of the finishing circuit.

    Did anyone get chance to change their team?

    I very nearly picked him too.

    I very nearly picked him too. Decided I wanted the budget and missed a bullet.

    Yes, naturally I picked

    Yes, naturally I picked Schmid being the “GC captain” for Q/S. Oh well. One of the problems being in Oz with a late stage start.

    For the record, TER scored stage. I’ve fixed it.

    I think Schmid was DNS today
    I think Schmid was DNS today (Procyclingstats). He appears to have been awarded points in the TTT.

    The riders get their own

    The riders get their own times for GC purposes…  But the whole team are given the team position.  So the riders dropped from the winning team will win (and get 20 points) but they will drop down the GC.

    The rules go on to say

    The rules go on to say “slower riders shall be credited with their actual times”‘. so I presume that means results will be in team order, but the GC standings will reflect individual rider’s times. Very confusing.

    I’ve read some conflicting

    I’ve read some conflicting reports on what’s happening with the TTT. The official rules say they’re taking the team’s time on the first rider. So the whole team might be given the same time. I’m not sure though.

    Game strategy; eg Jumbo

    Game strategy; eg Jumbo appears to be the stand out favorite for the TTT. I considered putting in Foss instead of Vingegaard to save money, so I could put in Pog. But if it is all for the “captain”, then Foss will probably be sacrificed and finish well down.

    Yes we will score as per TTT scoring, but there will be some weird looking results. Will the betting be listing teams or individuals to win?

    And how will the last rise affect stage 1?

    I’m trying to get my head

    I’m trying to get my head around this too. My feeling is that it has to be scored like you suggest with the ‘team time’ taken on the first over the line. Can’t work out how the change affects strategy within the game though!
