He won two Primus and 3 Golden KM sprints.

Which I am including, because I scored them yesterday as there were no information about the top 3 in the Primus sprints. He also gets 5 for holding the Primus jersey, as both the points and Primus jersey's are being scored.

I don't make the rules, I just score according to what has been laid out.

Goldens aren't being scored Gkam. Also I was unaware that Primus jersey was being scored, does it say that somewhere?

10 is his score or 18 if you include the primus intermediate sprints where he was second on two occasions but 41 i dont quite get.

Because it is being scored wrongly. Gkam, you need to sort this out for both stages.

Ended up with 1, 4, 8, 9 so not really satisfied. Counting on not having to change Alaphilippe and Juul-Jensen for the rest of the race though. Counting on Juul-Jensen for the TT. He is in good form.

Right, so I haven't been able to find any breakdown for the primus sprints.

So what I have done for today is scored the Golden KM sprints.

The points jersey is scored on overall and the sprints jersey is based on the primus classification. Just in case anyone wonders about their scores.

If there was a breakdown that someone knows of for the primus sprints, there were two today. I will remove the Golden KM sprints and they will be replaced with the primus.

They will affect the GC scores though. As a viewer I did enjoy The Golden K. Hope we get to see the Peloton racing for the points tomorrow.

To make you all aware, the golden sprints will not be scored as they only hold time bonuses and not points

This is what was said. Therefore this is how it needs to be.

This is what I said half way through stage 1, because I thought they were only time bonuses, but they actually hold points aswell and because I could not find details of the primus sprints for stage 1, still cannot find them, I scored the Golden.

The Primus and Points jerseys were always both going to be scored because there seems to be no mountains jersey.

I like one being a bit more lenient, takes the stress out of it a wee bit. Also, the fun will come from selecting a time-trial team and then juggling who will perform the best over the last 3 stages. Can't see many transfers happening in the first 2 days.

Too lenient the budget imo. Teams will be very similar. More to think about with higher pricing, again imo.

Not sure I agree, had there been less sprinters in the race id agree, however with so much choice, there will be variations, had to make some tough choices, as much as if the budget was lower, but its also nice to have a less restrained race, as we will be back with tough budgets/prices for the vuelta

No Hofland for me

Gone for 6 sprinters, 1 who should sprint, but can also be good if the race breaks up and 1 for if the race breaks up

Greipel
Demare
Viviani
Modolo
Nizzolo
Guardini
Boonen
Bakelants
