S18 ranking update!
All riders have been picked at least three times, so the differences are not too big. Seancoll in the end with the most points (58), correctly predicting winner O'Connor and 5 other top-10 riders. Congratulations!

Small changes only in the GC, with Ulrich entering the top-5. Out of the (previous) top-5, three of them were the weakest scorers on S18.

S19 ranking update!
Final mountain stage, and the people predicting the break to be victorious didn't score a lot. Ember on the other hand predicted the entire top-8 and wins the stage with 60 points, congratulations!

Not a lot of changes in the GC either. Knockout still with a nice lead for yellow, but ember coming closer a bit this time around.

And S20 ranking update, the breakaway stage!
One of the hardest to predict so far, and we see that with 4 zero pointers! On the other side of the spectrum, yellow jersey knockout was the only one to correctly predict winners Groves, and adding 23 Velasco points that's 123 points for him! Congratulations! Is this the deciding move towards the overall victory? We'll find out soon!
| S20 | Groves | VD Broek | Eenkhoorn | Velasco | Gregoire | Stewart | Jegat | Wellens | Jorgenson | Sweeny | | | knockout | 100 | | | 23 | | | | | | | 123 | | Ollfardh | | | 40 | | 30 | | | | | | 70 | | Imladrik | | | | | 30 | | 40 | | | | 70 | | alexkr00 | | 45 | | | | | | | | | 45 | | Ulrich | | 45 | | | | | | | | | 45 | | Abhishek | | | | 23 | | | | | 20 | | 43 | | Nemolito | | | 40 | | | | | | | | 40 | | Dane B | | | | 23 | | | | | | | 23 | | ember | | | | | | | | 15 | | 5 | 20 | | sammyt93 | | | | | | | | 15 | | | 15 | | Laurens147 | | | | | | | | | | 5 | 5 | | bbl312 | | | | | | | | | | | 0 | | kb26 | | | | | | | | | | | 0 | | seancoll | | | | | | | | | | | 0 | | jaxika | | | | | | | | | | | 0 |
So in the GC knockout strenghtens his lead by a big margin. He should remain in yellow after the final stage as well, so a premature congratulations for that, but the classification, captain and bonus points are of course still coming as well.

Another lucky strike there, wish i could keep some of that luck for the next MG season 
Might not have been the hardest stage to do so but picking the entire top 8 of a stage is very impressive. Congrats ember!

Yeah same here, really happy for him but he's costing me points 
Also removed Pogacar out of my team, so really bad last day for me
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Final stage ranking update!
Winning the final stage in yellow was something Pogacar could not do this season, but something knockout was able to do nevertheless. Ballerini scoring him 90 points is enough for the stage win, and obviously the GC win as well! I finish the race in style as well with a zero pointer.

Very nice victory for knockout, soon we'll see if the classification pick and bonus points can still change that. Imladrik with a jump to second on the final day, soon we'll see if he can keep that, or even improve.

That's a very hefty lead for knockout before predictions and final classifications!  To be honest, I haven't checked others' pre-race predictions, and I can't remember mine, so I have no clue if knockout will do just that, a knockout, or if it gets close/a dramatic change at the very end  Looking forward to see the final rankings too!
And thank you a lot for doing this, Nemo |
