WCS 2021

[Vos]

van Aert claimed his second win of the Tour of Britain, beating Alaphilippe to the top of the short steep final climb on the Great Orme.
And van Aert is the new GC leader. Hayter on 0:02" and Alaphilippe on 0:11"

CFF League stage 4 winner = Combuijs 
Combuijs and ophiuko share the GC lead halfway the Tour of Britain.


next races ;
  European Championships :
time trial ( women ) =  9 hours and 45 minutes left to join.
time trial ( men ) =  15 hours left to join. 
road race ( women ) =  2½ days left to join.
road race ( men ) =  3½ days left to join.

[Vos]

  EC time trial women = 1. Reusser ( SUI ), 2. van Dijk ( NED ), 3. Brennauer ( GER ).

CFF League winner = Patrick Kok 

  EC time trial men = 1. Küng ( SUI ), 2. Ganna ( ITA ), 3. Evenepoel ( BEL ).

CFF League winner = Vos    -->  winner of all WCS participants ! 

The Tour of Britain is not updated yet. Hayter won sprint stage 5 and takes the GC lead again.

Maybe I realize this now because it was detrimental to me this time (I was the only one guessing winner and best youth of both men and women TT), but I think they should give more points for the extra question, not just 15 to all of them. They give 50 points each extra question on the Grand Tours, and 15 in all the rest of races. I would agree more with giving:
-     Predict the correct winner of the general classification    50    
-     Predict the correct winner of the points classification    30    
-     Predict the correct winner of the mountain classification    30    
-     Predict the correct winner of the youth classification    15    
-     Predict the correct winner of the team classification    15    
    Predict the final time of the winner of the general classification    15

This system would have made me win the EC TT men just by 2 points over Vos 

[Vos]

I have never really studied the dividing of points in WCS,
but many times I noticed that if I would make the dividing of points, it would be very different.
So, I totally agree with you, ophiuko, also I have the opinion that it can ( or should ) be improved.
In your overview it would be something like this, if it is up to me =  50, 10, 10, 10, 10, 0*. ( *= I would delete that last time question )

But as long as the WCS system is in my favor and causes that I beat main rival ophiuko, I'm not complaining. 

Hayter wins sprint stage 5.
There is no update yet of stage 6, today won by van Aert.

CFF League stage 5 winner = Vlominck

With just 1 tour left on the WCS season schedule, almost all season trophies are decided already.
It is possible that WCS will add a tour, but according to me that most likely will not happen in this pandemic year.

With 14 more one-day-races on the WCS season schedule, the Chief of Classics Trophy is by far not decided yet.
And of course, also the World Championship jersey is still at stake. That jersey is also a season trophy, just like each big tour victory.

SEASON TR0PHIES 2021 :
( the only rule= when there is an equal amount of victories, the person who won last will be ranked higher )
