My mistake, yes, season purist total is OK.

Disagree with the above. It's bang on, and up to date imo.

Dave,

The overall season total seems OK now, but the overall season purist totals seem wrong.
My purist total seems to be the sum of total at the end of stage 6 of the Dauphine plus only stage 2 (stg 1 in road.cc) of the TdSw. I could be wrong, but they seem to be the only numbers that add up to the present total.

6th - definitely the closest I've ever come to successfully stage-hunting!

Sorry guys don't know anything about that, think Dave is already looking into the leagues, but will drop him a message later if nothing has changed.

Good result in the purist competition for the stage and the first points for Jan Hirt. Good on the lad after following him in those Rouleur articles a few years ago and nice to see him getting into the top ten on the queen stage of a major tour. Just a shame that I couldn't fit him in to the standard team

To think id have won the stage had I not bottled going Lopez for Pibernik in order to save a transfer.

still a great score TER.

TER can you check scoring for the overall standard league, I noticed that the stage winner Dux89 (who is just above me) dropped places, which can't be right.

I noticed that too. Doesn't seem possible. TER—any chance you know anything about mini-league vs. overall season league scoring discrepancy while you're at it?

probably because the purist scores for TDS were going into the overall league by mistake, and now they've been removed

Poor day: 1,3,6....
Not sure how that will play out. Gotta wield some transfer magic for the rest of this week for a top 100 finish. The race is well poised now.

1,2,3,5 but no denifl could well kill me big time

I think I got something along the lines of 1,3,5,6,9,12,13 plus Denifl's extra bonus points (glad to see the KOM points came before the finish line!)

Bringing in Moreno when I could've afforded Pozzovivo means I won't win the stage, but still pretty happy with that!

I don't know... maybe a lot of people avoided Pozzovivo because they were unsure of his condition...  39

Frustrating transfer decision aside (should have gone with my heart!)- it's good to see Pozzovivo riding so well again
