Feel free to use this as a discussion thread as well if you're following the Giro by the way. Everybody had Landa in their GC top-10, but he obviously won't be scoring any points anymore. A shame for him and his team.
Congratulations to seancoll, who is the only one to have predicted one of the right guys in the first breakaway. Tarozzi nets him 25 points. They won't be on today's ranking yet, as the bonus points questions will get added at the end.
Today's ranking, let me know if you spot any mistake. As mentioned in the first post, only full points will get awarded. Ulissi's 16,7 points are not turned into 17 points for example.

Pedersen for the win! Everybody nominated him, everybody scored 100/10 points. Ollfardh the only one not nominating Van Aert means all other managers get 10 points for WVA as well, and also means Ollfardh starts the game as the red lantern. Biggest point scorer here is Aular, 80 points in third only divided by two managers, and with alex also adding Pidcock's 7 points, he's the first leader of the game. Abhishek, Ulrich and kandesbunzler trail alex and ember with a good Ulissi prediction.
I assume I won't be able to give an update after every stage, but I do my best to keep it as much as possible. Once again, if you spot any mistakes, let me know!
