Stage 15 La Vuelta

The results of the enquiry are as follows:

The Anglirú is classified by the race organisers as a summit finish, one of six in the Vuelta. The points for the final climb are the finish line points.

You're right Gkam, the stage didn't finish at the HC point. But the rule that you quoted doesn't say that it has to; you'd be hard pressed to argue that this wasn't a 'mountaintop stage finish'

The rule exists to stop summit finish stage scores being unduly weighted towards the first few riders. It's applicable here.

Right folks, the scores are in. However, they dont currently include the points for the HC climb. We're holding a referee's enquiry as to whether we count this as a summit finish or not, given that the finish line was 600m after the summit.

Watch this space for the results of our enquiry and a potential change to the scores...just give us time to meet at our top secret underground scoring facility and stroke our beards for a while.

Did Poels get 8 pts for the HC? Did Wiggo get any? Might have a few more then.

Got 97 but I lost about 35-40 points over 2 days by not having Froome. 'Nnoyed with Nieve but pleased about Poels. 7 out of 9 in top 20. Now it's back to mountain points and breaks, (after the flat). Glad I've got 4 transfers. Going to need them!

I think this will be the first day I get over 100 points so in that respect it's good. In the sense that Brad lost the jersey, though, it will be very sad

Can never count these things, but might be 117. But scoring will be high

2,4,5,9,16,17 on stage.
2,3,4,7,10 in GC.
2,4 on PC.
2,3 on MC.

But i realised you can knock up my score to 123 points, would be 133 but Nuens isn't last anymore

1,4,5,16,17 in stage
1,2,3,7 in gc

Meh 115 its return to a decent score after the last few days dissapointments - 49 and 93

Glad we can all have a rest cos I'm knackered after watching that

Pity about Wiggo but as stated there's still another week with more climbing to come. Lets hope the Geox team are not strong enough to keep the lead and Froome / Wiggins can prosper from it.

After all Cobo has had to do it all on his own without help and his legs must be suffering.

Shouldn't have got rid of Froome 2 days ago: going to have to put him back soon.

Lagutin did well though at 10th.

Pity about Wiggins but he did come 5th, which isn't bad. Still nearly a week to go for something to go wrong for Cobo.

Got 4 of the first 5 across the line... looks like this will be my best day of the race (not saying much, had a disaster the first couple of weeks)

I've had Mollema all along but didn't know that about the mountain points. (Hope it doesn't apply to Fantasy cycling). If I'd known that I would have changed him.

why did i take cobo out? ive been saying all tour he would come good, but no i follow everyone else and change to mollema, how stupid of me
