Could you add in some code to figure out how the standings would change if
the favorites were disqualified for doping? You know, redo the time
bonuses and such? That would be a big help in sorting all this out.

Thanks.

I had in mind a series of lists showing how the standings would change if
one or another in the top ten were DQ at that stage. Bandwidth is cheap.

Bob: these are beautiful. But you need to do one for today's rest day.
It was the most active day of the Tour so far.

I'll think about it ;-)
