I contacted Froomedawg and let him know the final standings, he was delighted to see @Berk on a Bike take the title and sent me this pic to show just how delighted he was

I'm happy all that altitude training up Pen-y-ghent paid off. Couldn't have done it without my team around me etc etc...

OK, I was thinking about some changes in scoring for the Tour de France as follows. Let me know what you think, I don't want to put people off playing by making it too complicated but the scoring so far is dire it might increase the competition.
Jerseys - points available for top 5 riders
GC - 20,15,12, 7, 5
Mountains - 15,12, 7, 5, 3
Points - 15, 12, 7, 5, 3
Young - 10, 7, 5, 3, 1
Most Aggressive Rider - 10, 7, 5, 3, 1
One selection per jersey
Stages - points available for top 5 riders
15, 12, 10, 7, 5
Double points available for stages 1 (ITT), 8 (Mur de Bretagne) , 10 (Bastille Day) and 20 (Alpe d'Huez)
For each stage you pick 3 riders rather than 1 so more chance of scoring and you can mix it up a bit re different scenarios playing out e.g. stick in a couple of riders likely to win from a breakaway and one for sprint finish.
Too complicated? Or happy to give it a go?

Looks good to me. I suspect managing the scoring will be more complicated than making the picks, which will continue to be the same stabbing in the dark process, just in triplicate.

Yep, the change to the picks is that 3 riders per stage and the extra pick for aggressive rider jersey in overall competition.
Everything else is changes to scoring.
