Ranking update after S12! In the end, flat sprinter stages seem to be quite predictable.

And this leads to a Belgian podium! Ember the nr 4 here for storytelling purposes I guess Laurens predicts the most correct names, which gives him the stage win with only fifty points, with stage red lantern kandesbunzler only 12 points below him. Alexkrr00 the only one missing out on Van Uden, if he were on his team, he would have shared the stage win with Laurens.
If anyone would have predicted Turner, that would of course have netted them a massive 80 points, showing there's always a spot for a big surprise. Even in very predictable stages!

Barely any change in the GC then, ember and Ulrich switching a spot, but that's it. Wish everybody the best of luck today
People were mostly looking at climbers to do well yesterday, as winner Pedersen and Van Aert got selected by four people only (three times by the same manager actually), whereas number three Del Toro got eight out of nine selections. Roglic and Bernal got three and two selections each, but it's definitely noteworthy that four riders in the top-10 were selected exactly once.
Rochas gives alex 70 points, Godon gives 60 to stage winner knockout (with the second highest score so far iirc), 40 Tiberi points then to Ollfardh and 20 Aular points to Laurens.
Stage 14 definitely a special one with the crash and breakaway winner Asgreen, so points quite evenly distributed. Almost everybody with Groves and Kooij, so most point came from Aular (35 to kb and sean) and Pidcock (15 to Ulrich and sean). No Kooij in his team, but a nice stage victory thanks to Aular and Pidcock!

Not the best two days for Abhishek, but he stays in the lead. Consistent scoring by sean makes him our new number two, with knockout's great stage 13 being good enough to join those two on the podium! Ember drops to fourth ahead of alex, and at the bottom it's still yours truly enjoying the view. Will make sure to send you all a postcard from down here soon! Good luck for tomorrow's stage, as once again the question will be: break or GC riders?
