Another bunch sprint beckons before the rest day. Most teams will be very similar so some high scores all round unless there’s an upset from a breakaway but i cant see it happening to be honest.

Would just like to say my thoughts were with Wouter Weylandt thru out this stage.

Personally, I think combative
Personally, I think combative should mean combative. Escape is something different. The combativity didn’t go to the stage winner today – and if the break goes to the end, you’re just going to wind up giving extra points to the stage winner anyway.
Also, combative doesn’t necessarily mean km’s in the break in other races – can be decided by jury, or by other criteria – it’s up to the organisers.
Having said all of which, it’s an arbitrary decision to be made by the game organisers – I just don’t see much point in trying to justify one choice or the other because there are perfectly good reasons to choose either one.

The reason I pulled this up
The reason I pulled this up with Dave after doing the scores today, the Premio Combattività does mean combative, but it also included the intermediate (which we score) the climb (which we score) and the finish (which we also score). So it seems a bit crap to just give another bonus to the stage winner everyday.

The Fuga is basically what the the combat jersey is in other tours, the guy that stays away the longest.

Fuga
The Fuga Pinarello prize is to reward an attacking rider, namely those who go in a breakaway and refuse to give up. The leader of the classification shall be the rider who has accrued the higher number of breakaway kilometres.

Fighting spirit
Each day points go to the first rider at the intermediate sprint, at the top of a climb and the finish too. A separate prize goes to the rider to get the most points from this daily combination, the combative prize.

Yay! 🙂 You learn so much (!) here! =D> I didn’t know there were 2 so similarly ‘worded’ 😕 or ‘spririted’ 😕 awards (!). It’s kind of cool, too, that they actually monitor the kilometers a rider is out on breaks! Thaks, Dave! 😀

Tjallingi really (!) put on a show on both stages(!). This game rocks! =D> Thanks (!)… 😀

I think the scoring information for each stage should be updated to make it clear the Fuga Pinarello is being scored not the Combativity prize as the definition in the scoring info and Kittel’s score yesterday indicated that was the one being scored. I don’t care which one is scored or even if both are as they’re both part of the Giro, but it should be clear to every player of the game, not just those who follow or contribute to the forum, which one is being scored.

done, i’ve also queued up an email

That’s fair, but personally I’d think the Premio Combattività would be more fitting because it’s literally the combativity award. :?

it literally translates as the combativity award, certainly. that’s not the same thing though.

Maybe it was the update of stage two that has broken the purist league for me by taking out my stage two score?

Ooh! If I’d known that yesterday I would have put in Tjallingi instead of Chicchi!!

He’s on 27 points now, which is correct.

Well Kittel is still 10 pts short for stage 2. If Tjallingi received the points for the combativity award, Kittel should too…

How do you work that out? He got 50 points in stage 2.

Win 35
Points 5
Combativity 10

Edit: weird, he now is only showing 40 on the graph.

Edit 2: my team got 170 yesterday, but is now showing 160

What’s going on?
