By my calculations that comes to 144 points, so not quite as much as you might think, still pretty solid though.

Bloody premium players BS, not happy at all. I would have been top of the South East and top five overall, but they all get to include their Tour of Mediterranean points too. Now us non payers do not even appear on the table at all as they are only showing what the scores are post Tour of Med Stage 1. They could at least offer a non premium table too .
Quite happy with my 107.
The question is:-
Is something out of the ordinary going to happen to shake up the points scoring?

Oh yes, having tracked his progress carefully in The Dutch Food Valley Classic, I was going to put him in right from the start but thought better of it.
And now for the truth...
...never heard of him and therefore wasn't even a tiny blip on my radar. Even after his showing in stage 3, I thought, like Indurains Lungs, that it was a flash in the pan result. In fact, I'm still not sure whether it's meant to be Barry Markus or Markus Barry

I think clicking the blue - 'Show/hide premium teams' button should do the trick for you. It certainly worked for today stage scores when I tried it.
Well played today btw.

You and Carlton Kirby both. Yesterday he kept calling Markus Barry, over and over again, then he mocked the Qatari announcer for introducing Bookwalter Brent at the jersey ceremony. I'm not a fan of his commentary.
It's obviously a massive revenue stream, and one they probably hadn't even contemplated just 2 years ago.
Non-prem will get nothing until the cash cow has been done being milked.
Here's a tip -
If you're not good enough to trouble the leader board you won't get hacked off about it

Oh, surprise surprise, Taylor Phinney hitting the deck again today if I'm not mistaken? Last year I just felt really sorry for him in the Giro. Now I'm just beginning to think he's been taking bike handling lessons from a certain American sprinter from another team

I'm starting to feel a bit like the long ball game. Last year was my 80s heyday and I got a fair amount of success, like a fantasy league version of Watford under Graham Taylor!
This year, I'm persisting with the same tactics but languishing in the lower reaches. The game has moved on and I've been left behind!

Me and forward thinking don't seem to go hand in hand.
All sprints or all mountains and I'm fine, switching from on to the other and I'm nil points waiting to happen.

And they've just made it unlimited transfers for the final stage so you don't even get the benefit of carrying them over!
