Team BMC Official Thread (Page 5)

My best guess at team standings...Liquigas is challenging Garmin for the win!

1. Garmin 93.75% (1 rider at 100%)
2. Liquigas 91.52%??? (no riders at 100%)
2. Quickstep 73.78% (2 riders at 100%)
3. Leopard trek 66.79% (2 riders at 100%)
4. Sky 55.84 or 58.10% (looks like they lost half their team)
5. BMC 60.63%???? (1 rider at 100%) <--- if you get your spreadsheet to make sense, you may not be in last place.

THere are 2 riders at 100% but the spreadsheet needs a Dee fix cause it's mucked up

Actually, people aren't putting in cumulative totals, like it says at the top of each group of columns. I've highlighted the numbers in red....

You guys have a choice - you can either enter cumulative totals, or you can enter weekly totals and we can add all the numbers together. But I need to know what everyone wants to do, in order to fix the problem....

Fixed mine. Thanks for pointing out my stupidity tonight.

Ya think I would know this by now!

Nah, you were fine. The spreadsheets we use for the challenges usually have just one column for each goal, so it's always cumulative. (ie: run total for the month, etc.).... But when Cat set up the original TdF Challenge spreadsheets, she did it with separate columns for each week.

For next year, maybe I'll just modify it so there's only one column. That might make it easier for everyone.

OK, spreadsheet is fixed for everyone except RUDY. (Can I taser him?)

I got another ride in ....up way too early on a Saturday to beat the heat!

Today's team standings - Quickstep pulls in front of Liquigas!

1. Garmin 96.96% 1 rider in Paris
2. Quickstep 87.22 2 riders in Paris
3. Liquigas 83.52% 1 rider in Paris
4. BMC 71.81 1 rider in Paris
5. Leopard Trek 68.27% 2 riders in Paris
6. Sky 59.19 0 riders in Paris

As of 4pm EST - Quickstep and Liquigas are still in a battle for second place. BMC and Leopard Trek are separated by less than 4%.

1. Garmin 97.85% (4 riders in Paris)
2. Quickstep 90.49 (4 riders in Paris)
3. Liquigas 86.36 (4 riders in Paris)
4. BMC 71.81 (1 rider in Paris)
5. Leopard 68.27 (2 riders in Paris)
6. Sky 61.66 (1 rider in Paris)

Well gee. If I'd have known how much you missed being tasered..... Well, no. If I know you want to be tasered, then I'm not going to taser you. Then again, I never pass up a tasering opportunity. So maybe we'll just go with a cute little Tesla coil instead.

Oh no! The Tour de France is over. What are we going to do now?

Well, we're gonna have a one week challenge. This will get us through July, at least.

You can set goals in ONE to FOUR activities: Swim, bike, run and/or other.
If you fall behind in one goal, you can make it up in another. (Ex: 0% Swim + 200% Run is still 100% Overall)

At the end of the week, the WINNERS will be determined by:
a) The overall average in each category. (Ie: Swim average, Run average, etc.)
b) Individual totals. (Ie: the person with the highest completion average)

To participate, check out the Post-TdF One Week Challenge thread!

By now we can assume that all riders have entered their challenge totals in their team spreadsheets. So, the final results of the TdF challenge are.....(insert drum roll here)....

First place is a tie between Garmin and Liquigas! Garmin came in at 99.66% with 6 riders reaching 100%. Liquigas came in at 99.36% with 5 riders reaching 100%.

Second place goes to Quickstep who reached 91.19% with 4 riders at 100%.

Third place goes to BMS with 88.65% and 3 riders reaching 100%.

Fourth place goes to Leopard Trek with 69.15% and 2 riders reaching 100%.

Fifth place goes to Sky with 65.60% and 2 riders reaching 100%.

In the unofficial post-count challenge, Garmin and Liquigas tie again for first as both had 11 pages of posts in their team thread. Quickstep had 7, BMC had 6, Sky had 4, and Leopard Trek had 3. It seems like the key to this challenge is team communication. The more your teammates talked to each other the more likely the team was to get everyone to their goals.
