As we've managed to create our own top 20 after the Solvang time trial, I thought it might be nice for you guys (and gals) to get an update this way.

Apparently, the Stage competition is particularly hard for the Podium dwellers, No sightings so far in the GC.

The Points competition is however seeing a major shift over the last two stages.

KoD (Who I suppose is King of Doping) is on a brilliant ride and moved up in second!!! place overall with very steady scoring!
It is however Hons who's surprising run (1st and 3rd respectively in the last two stages) got him from 140th spot to 16th! (Do I smell a Dominique Rollin in your team?) Amazing run by the Canadian Hons, showing that sprinting is what he does best!

Just so you get the full picture, and for those interested, but not actively participating:

The current top 20 after ride 6 is:

1 vedette Nijmegen 37 373
2 KoD (ESP) 38 371
3 Jack Wanssum 39 367
4 Lampje. Spijkenisse 39 365
5 Sjanslok Maastricht 37 364
5 Chef Spijker Hoogeveen 35 364
7 FrinKing Utrecht 37 360
8 Amice Vlissingen 32 358
9 Nescio Tilburg 37 357
9 Sycling Surhuzum 34 357
11 Cindy Wanssum 37 356
11 Lennart Utrecht 37 356
11 Oscarito Diessen 36 356
14 Master Puk Geleen 37 355
15 Zoet Petoet poperinge 35 354
16 Hons (CAN) 37 353
17 Mark utrecht 36 351
18 Moity Enschede 37 349
18 Tommy Ventoux Lisse 35 349
20 Chuck Hudak (USA) 33 346

Great job guys!
Hope you'll finish it off and take first and second!
To all others: Chris is beating me! Can anyone please help me? ;-)

Everybody is beating me :-(

But hey, come to think of it, that's pretty normal.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Indeed you did!

I had to wait three years to achieve one of those, so you can be pretty damn proud about that one!

Wow...

Are those actual names? Sjanslok Maastricht? FrinKing Utrecht? Zoet Peoet poperinge? English must be easy if your Dutch.

Aliases

Name / town or city behind the name.

And No, English is still pretty hard for someone who's never studied the language.
I'm getting by though, no worries mate! :)

Ironic

seeing that I couldn't win a sprint if my life depended on it.

I said Rollin was going to be good but did anyone listen....nooooo

Hats off

for picking him indeed!
I've gone with Ivan the Cuban myself. We all know how that went. :)

I'm really surprised

I can still lose some positions because I don't have Vandevelde and Larsson, but even a top 10 would be awesome. I'm the rookie of the year, heh!

oh, and stage competition is not going that well! (93) I should have read the rules (I thought that jersey holders got points!)

Well, that team

made it into the top 10.
So has Hons, pretty awesome you guys!

Well done!
You might even wanna have a go at the ProTour competition as well, but does need a somewhat more active approach. Very challenging though... ;-)
