The value team changes at last on Stage 13, with Sylvain Chavanel finally displaced, and Vinokourov's recent strong finishes, and relatively low credit value moving him into place in the all rounder category. You can also see the way that the percentage of the total score continues to move in favour of the GC contenders.

And the High Score Team;

Grand Totals (score, cost) 4731 100

For the second stage in a row the value and high score team share the same all rounders, thanks largely to the high credit cost of Alberto Contador, who struggles to retain a place in either team (on the basis of mathematics, at least!) Stage 13 also sees the value team and high score team share their climbers.

Cancellara moves out of the high score team in favour of Rojas (not because of a low score, but because of his fairly high credit cost, as with Contador). Lastly, Hushovd and Petacchi exchange places as wildcard and sprinter, as they exchange their lead in the competition for the Maillot Vert.
