Ranking update! And oops, he did it again! Knockout was the only predicting stage winner Kuss in his top-10, and that alone was enough to win the stage here as well. Although he adds another 40 points by predicting seven riders correctly in the top-10 as well. He can't stop winning! Ulrich and kandesbunzler share the last place with 38 points, although they have a very different way of scoring those points. Except for Kuss, the only rider being picked only once was Caruso (40p). Congratulations, Nemolito.

Knockout in this game reminds me of any Merlier sprint. Winning with a couple of bikelenghts ahead.
Nothing changes in the GC, but with Imladrik being too late today, there's a solid chance he'll get overtaken by Abhishek later today.

I went for a breakaway to get away from the last place, but it failed. Ollfardh on the other hand was one of many going for the GC riders, and he managed to make the most good picks. 8 out of ten correct picks from him, good for 93 points and the stage win!

No stage win for Magnier today in Rome, but knockout on the other hand does finish the Giro like he started it, with a stage win! Lonardi (90p) was a vital pick to score the final 100+ score of this Giro, congratulations!

The final stage ranking sees knockout go into the classifications/bonus/captain points with a very narrow lead over the rest of the peloton. But really really narrow. Only change in the table compared to two days ago is a position switch between Abhishek and Imladrik, with the latter forgetting to predict on time for stage 20. I thank Dane Bramage for stopping to play so I'm technically not the red lantern
I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow/Tuesday, so next updates will not have a fixed interval or something similar, just hope to bring them asap when I find time
