    Im not sure if you're right with that or not.

    I did my 5 transfers in one last night, Cummings, Barta, Dowsett and then Kittel and Ruffoni.

    The latter twos points on my team now show 60 and 30 is right, but the other three show single figures still. Even Wiggo who I have had for a while is still on 33 when got 90 alone for the TT.

    I have the Top 5 in the TT and it is a cat1 so I should be on for a mighty score 350 points plus. May have won it had I played the Joker then.

    Oh and I don't think they ever put Barry Markus in the game at all! He placed again today.

    That's what i thought about trial points.They seem to have awarded points for a Team trial instead:confused: (i had 8 places from 9 in that with 25 bonus points for leaders + Sky team)

    You are right, they have.

    That is an error on two counts as it is clearly listed as a Cat1 stage in the terms and also in the exact same game in the Tour it had normal points.

    I've sent them an email to clarify.

    Time trial i had 1,2,6,8,11,13,16,18 + Sky(1) + overall pts+individual leader ==352pts

    Sprint stage i had 1,12,14,17,18 + overall pts+individual leader ==121pts

    Should be on 1,988 overnight plus 473 ==2,461

    I will too. I'm 11th, nobody above me as Cummings and I have 1-6 and even Kittel ended up high. Thats 60 pts from Cummings which would put me in 3rd. Otherwise teams are similar, so I may end Top 5.

    I have an apology to make really as the game has been riddled with errors throughout. I ahad a PM from The Net too asking why he got so few points for the ITT especially when he played his joker. By my calculation he could well have missed about 500 points! Clearly they have applied the TTT points which is wrong. For what its worth the final league table and tso kept his lead

    Especially given the time we have taken to look over the game and make transfers as we have carefully. To pull that stunt at the end just leaves a bit of a bad taste. Incompetents really. Think I'll give game this a wide berth in future.

    Not sure its all done, I had an email saying their technical team were looking into the error this morning, in reply to mine last night. There were cash prizes so they must have to be careful. I won a TDF game in the Summer and it took a fortnight for the confirmation.

    I am sure they will at least confirm they were wrong, their own rule list the stage as category 1 and presumably its also the same staff from the Tour game.

    Im still curious how they managed to avoid adding riders to the game, who were being placed. Surely when allocating the points, they would realise there are ommissions.

    Its been changed. I ended 8th overall, 3rd of what was the top 20, so the other five must have been joker players. Wish I played it for that stage too.

    Where did the two teams who were well clear at the Top all tournament end up finishing?

    The company that runs this game also run the official Football League fantasy league. You'd think they would be a bit more professional.

    I'm in the FL one which is Championship. Divs 1 and 2. No glaring errors but they take an age to update.
