Pro Tour Punditry 2017 **no spoilers please**

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I was going to suggest another new rule but you've already done your picks. My idea was that you can only pick a rider for one category.

I want scoring and flair, not rules

 

[brommers]

GC - Froome, A. Yates, Barguil
PTS - S. Yates, Pauwels, LL Sanchez
KOM - Navarro, LN Hansen, LG Mas
Wildman - Alaphilippe

Stage 1
BMC
Sky
Katusha

You should be commended for you jersey selections - flair picks at their best

And you on yours - scoring at it's best

50 points if selected as overall most combative rider at the end

If the TdF is anything to go by it will be a Spanish rider

So, in theory, if one wanted, one could choose, for example, YatesA for GC jersey, Pts jersey and KoM jersey?

The View attachment 368087 Vuelta a España starts on Saturday 19th August.

Teh Rulez:
Jersey competitions: GC, Points, KOM
Jersey scoring: 100, 80, 60, 30, 20 - pick 3 riders for each competition

Stage scoring: 80, 60, 50, 30, 20 - pick 3 riders per stage
Bonus 50 points for selecting 1st, 2nd and 3rd on a stage
Double points stages: 8, 11, 14, 15, 19

Wildman: Select one rider, who cannot be one of your jersey picks, to be your Wildman. You can select your wildman as one of your 3 stage picks.

Wildman scoring, to reward and encourage flair: (no double points for wildman on double point stages)

• 20 points for a top 10 finish on any stage
• 20 points for being the most combative rider on a stage
• 50 points if selected as overall most combative rider at the end

Wildman scores will be given at the end of the Vuelta at same time as Jersey points are counted rather than every stage as it took me ages to count and type at the Tour.

Right, I think that's me made it hard enough to understand and score

Happy punditeering, new players always welcome

edit - I shall not be recording any selections until Saturday so feel free to just edit any changes of mind rather than multi-posting changes

You didn't do a points system for the hodge-Porte jersey

Edit (a day later) This should have been hodge-podge
