  • Not much change in the top 10 after stage 16, scoring was binary:

    1 - pblakeney - 81 pts
    2 - Dialatron - 73
    3 - gregster04 - 72
    4 - Dorset_Boy - 71
    5 - dish_dash - 69
    6= - TheBigBean - 66
    6= - rozzer32 - 66
    8= - takethehighroad - 65
    8= - carbonclem - 65
    10 - singleton - 62

    But some pretty wild swings in the virtual GC from yesterday:

    1 - pblakeney - 146 pts (VINGEGAARD)
    2 - gregster04 - 137 (VINGEGAARD)
    3 - Dorset_Boy - 136 (VINGEGAARD)
    4 - TheBigBean - 131 (VINGEGAARD)
    5 - rozzer32 - 131 (VINGEGAARD)
    6 - twotoebenny - 124 (VINGEGAARD)
    7 - Dialatron - 123 (ROGLIČ)
    8 - exiger1272 - 122 (VINGEGAARD)
    9 - orraloon - 119 (VINGEGAARD)
    10 - dish_dash - 119 (ROGLIČ)

    Does this make me Kuss?
    Surprisingly in the lead and it could go all horribly wrong. 🤣
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Just about blew it, but not quite. Almost Kuss-esque. 🤣
    Still all to play for.
