The results of stage 6 were a bit more chaotic than your average sprint stage due to a number of crashes in the last corner. Still, every top ten finisher was picked except second place Stuyven.
Laurens was the one best prepared for this outcome picking Plowright (35) and Segaert (50) for a strong 96 points. Picking Plowright (35) was also the recipe for 2nd placed seancoll who also added unique pick Magli (30) for a total of 83 points. Picking winner Ballerini (50) pushes Nemolito and Imladrik up to third and fourth place.

The top five stays the same but Laurens is now closer to the maglia rosa than he is to third place Dane B. This stage pushes together the second half of the overall table with only 28 points seperating Ollfardh and Imladrik (who are tied for 9th) from a top half position.
Stage 7 saw an unexpected opportunity for some high scores as we only had 8 participants. Dane didn't post his picks while Ollfardh submitted his two hours into the stage.
knockout wins a fifth stage after selecting the top four of the stage, Rondel (50), Storer (5) and Arensman (2) for a total of 111 points. Abhishek and kandesbunzler both picked Vingegaard (12), Gall (12), Pellizzari (10), O'Connor (30) and Gee-West (15). Abhishek secures the second place by picking Ciccone (8) and Arensman (2) over Storer (5). seancoll in fourth and Ulrich in sixth also picked six of the correct names for the stage.

Knockout and Laurens extend their leads at the top of the podium while kandesbunzler and Abhishek overtake Dane due to his non-submission.
Stage 8 turned out to be one for the breakaway riders and was one of the least predictable stages so far. The majority of players only picked either stage winner Narvaez (14) or Scaroni (12) as five riders went entirely unpicked.
Only three players get scoring from other riders: Third place was Laurens who picked the top 2 finishers in Narvaez and Leknessund (45) for 59 points. Second place is seancoll who picked the same two riders but also had fourth place Silva (35). But the stage winner is knockout due to the combination of picking Silva and fifth place Milesi (60) for a total of 109 points - securing a sixth stage win in this race.

As long as you don't dominate the ManGame as well ...
