Tour of Oman
This looks like it's going to be pretty exciting! I'm trying to select my team, but it's pretty hard! 
The budget is once again at 140. Are we going to keep playing all the stages at this budget until we get to the Grand Tours? I miss the 150 budget!

Nicola Ruffoni popped up with a 12th and 10th place in the last two stages in Qatar. I think a few noticed because he is in quite a few teams it seems.
Took a gamble and picked 9 sprinter types, paid off for this stage, but now the juggling starts.
1,2,4,5,7 looks good for me
Full results finally up...

1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9,14, 15
Knew not picking Sagan would pay off
Similar to Nick - 8 of the top 14 and pretty good on purist too with 5 of top 20.
Haussler my only non-scorer, have to decide whether to swap him for Howard/Ruffoni or wait...
1,2,3,5,6,7,13,18
1,2,3,4,5,7,11 and 12!!!!!!
and i thought 1,3,5,7,12 was going to be good.....
1,3,4,5,7,14
It wont be a great score, but already have Gilbert and Impey for stages 3 and 4
just 3,5,18 for purist, already a man down in that (would have brought in 14th place finisher had i known before 11 last night
I know I'm being picky but I'm missing 3 points for Sagan's 18th place finish
How did Niki Terpstra get 32 points?
Also, where does Terpstra get 32 points from? I see he finished 77th but is 5th GC so that's 6 points.
I think Boonen (5th), Van Staeyen (6th), Markus (7th) and Swift (13th) points are incorrect - PLUS MY SAGAN POINTS!!!
.
Is it just me, but I think the points may be wrong
Bouhanni 18 points, but came 4th, 9th on GC, 4th in points, 4th in youth
Boonen 13 points, but came 5th, 10th on GC, 5th in points
Markus 10 points, but came 7th, 5th on youth
Vanspeybrouck 2 points, but came 14th
LOts of issues with the scores someone please tell me how Terpstra gets more points than Bouhanni?
Who did the scores today? I'm really confused
must be a bad line from sweden
i'll get it sorted, don't worry
accidentally replicated the overall in the stage finish
updating again now
How did Preben Van Hecke get 25 points?
Average-ish day, but glad I got Greipel in. Now will hold my nerve and save transfers for tomorrow.
My cold logic is that Haussler may go for the sprint tomorrow after that terrible news about his teammate today, so I'm saving transfers and keeping him in. Round of applause for me.
Nice one - goes to show picking Sagan wasn't necessarily a bad move!
Benatti and Fortin also look a bit wrong (5 and 4 pts for 11 and 12th)
He was second in both Intermediate sprints (4+4) and lies 4th on GC (7) thanks to his time bonuses, so he presumably got the combativity prize for the day, which is another 10pts.
