And some big news! For the first time this TdF the 100-point barrier has been broken! Baseballlover312 correctly predicted stage winner Simon Yates as the only one, netting him 100 points, and correctly predicted numbers 3, 4 and 5 as well. 151 points!
Others doing well include Ulrich and Ollfardh, with their 45 Arensman points, and Laurens, as the sole predictor of Blackmore in the top-10. Yellow jersey knockout just manages to score one point, as together with most of the others he was mainly looking in the direction of the GC favourites for the stage before the rest day.

And we have a new maillot jaune! Just three stages ago bbl was hanging at the bottom, but two stage wins see him catapult into the lead for now!
What do you do when a 'rival' scores over 100 points, correctly predicts the stage winner as only manager and takes over your yellow jersey? Simple, do the same again one stage later! Knockout went from one point on stage ten to 115 points today, mostly thanks to the stage win of Abrahamsen. Who would have thought that, when he broke his collarbone less than a month ago?
Schmid was key to seancoll's and ember's 65 points, interesting that the rest of their points came to them in a totally different way. Wright as third best scorer on the day helping me towards a fourth place on the stage.

So, knockout back in the lead. Ember with his consistent good scoring into second, with baseballlover312 on the podium as well.All in all one stage win with 100-150 points can still catapult anyone many places up, and as the stages become less predictable, I'm looking forward to see who can do exactly this. Good luck to all in the second half of the Tour.
S12: Pogacar, Vingegaard, Evenepoel, Lipowitz, Jorgenson, Storer, Buitrago, L. Martinez, Rubio, A. Johannessen
