Some changes here, perhaps the most significant being the appearance of Alberto Contador, who's taken a while to score highly enough to represent good value for his high credit cost. Jurgen Van Den Broeck also displaces Maxime Bouet as the team wildcard, his riding belying his classification as a "Domestique" in the mountains. The value team is still well within the credit budget, 6 credits under the maximum team cost of 100.

In the high score team, Denis Menchov replaces Alexandre Vinokourov, his credit value and score making him a good swap to get the credit cost down to 100.

At this point in the game, the winning team had a score of 4970, giving our value team a lead of 616 points, and the high score team a lead of 692.
