Good for me today, 1,4,9,14,15 and Greipel dropped out, who some of my rivals have.
If Battaglin does something over the next 2 days I could have half a chance of a good finish...
Barbero second today as well!
I wanted Barbero and Barbero Cuesta in my team, but got confused and didn't add either.
Can I have both of their points please?
Thanks for sorting!

What a nice race!
I really enjoyed this! 
Maybe it's beacuse I never play Purist! 
Anyways, thank you guys for organizing this competition on short notice. I really enjoyed it!
As far as the 'Best Purist Team Possible', well, this one was easy to figure out!
For the first time ever, and it may not happen again for a while, all 8 Top Scoring fiders fit in the budget. So the 'Best Purist Team Possible' for the Tour of Turkey was:
31.2 Mark Cavendish
19.6 Daniele Ratto
8.6 Sacha Modolo
17.3 Lluis Guillermo Mas
3.3 Kristijan Durasek
9.2 Davide Rebellin
9.3 Jay McCarthy
9.9 Manuel Belletti
1058 points
108.4 credits
This breaks so many records in so many ways!
First, a budget that had 31.6 credits to spare!
Second, it beat the 'Best Actual Team' by 232 points! Wow!:)
The 'Best Actual Team' was Big Bear Bombers (BigBear63) who scored 826 points! Nice job!
How many scoring 3.0 riders did we have in this (?) competition?
31 riders! A new record! 
What a joy! 
Thank you all for playing! Now, the awesome Giro! 
How many 3.0 riders will we have there? 
I love this place!

TUR @tourofturkey

Kristijan Durasek takes the lead with 21 seconds over Rebellin, Sepulveda is third at 32 seconds.
Ditto.
I dont know who has picked who, but dave is gonna get back to me as having two of the same rider has thrown up a conundrum especially as the race has already begun
Carlos Barbero is in the game as Carlos Cuesta, nor Carlos Barbero Cuesta his full name. Cuesta is his spanish matronymic name at the end; his real surname is Barbero. That would be like searching for Valverde as Alejandro Belmonte.
Accordingly, has anyone picked Cuesta?
He must be in the game twice, and im presuming the rider you guys have is greyed out?
Anyway I will speak to Dave before fixing this and will have to it when i have more time as will mean re-scoring every stage as im off to work now
He has been getting points
Carlos (Barbero) Cuesta has 26 points, 1 on stage 1, 9 stage 2, 16 stage 4
Edit
I've got Carlos Barbero in my team, that has been 7th today, 12nd the second stage and 20th the first stage but he has 0 points in the game... Why?
Thanks.
Me too - can he have some points please?
Utter disaster for me today. Just Greipel.
