    Thanks cherrypicked for your pearl of wisdom. It adds to my understanding of this incredibly complex sport. I had very impure thoughts like favoritism for the defending champ, or that it somehow affected betting. There are certainly inequities; eg its OK for Cavendish to headbutt, but Renshaw gets put out of race; (maybe its OK if you fall off afterwards).

    Greipel’s a chimp rather than a gorilla. Every time I put him in he fails to score.

    inrng says there is a rule if you crash in the last km then you get put to end of finishers and are allowed to start the next stage. Not sure if its this race only or more general.

    Not having stybar in my team I guess I can be thankful that porsev was also added to the list. Was surprised to see him score 13. Greipel on the other hand scored me 0.

    I have to agree with you… For the record, at least from my end, the truth is I have absolutely no qualms about using the official site for scoring… That is very thorough and professional of you… I think the only time I feel fairly, if not completely, confident in using PCS is for their ‘Confirmed’ start lists for a race… I think thay are more (!) than reliable when they put that green check mark beside a team, otherwise, maybe not so much, but if I see a green checkmark beside that team, I feel certain those riders are riding… they’re pretty good about that… Wiggins at the Eneco tour was an example of that… But I, for as much as I love PCS, mainly because it’s one place to visit, instead of going to each race’s website, applaud your stance about using the ‘official’ site… I just think it’s ok to use PCS to populate a game start list as early as possible, which will be revised anyways, and I think they’re a great starting point, as was the case with Eneco, especially if you can’t (!) get a ‘provisional’ start list from the organizers of a race… So good job, G! But don’t get me wrong, I for one, am only advocating the use of PCS for getting a game roster going… For the rest of the stuff, like the scoring, well, I think you’re doing exactly what you need to do! Good job! 🙂 Have a cookie! 🙂

    Shouldn’t Sergent have scored points for leading the Points Competition?

    You’re probably looking at PCS, who for some bizarre reason have missed the first 18 riders in the standing, Sergent is 19th. Guardini is winning.

    I would have thought being carted off to hospital in an ambulance would have made the rider a non finisher. Is this usual? Maybe if the ambulance has to drive through the finish line.
