Agree. No climber who really did much better than others this season, at least not in top 3-4 divs...

I think this is about it. No real outstanding performances here (except off course Skyler, but I am not fully objective here). Alastair deserves to be in the top three as well.
I cama across Elmo Mariotti with 6 wins including Bali Classic, but he is not better than the ones already nominated.

Points inside category count for the following:
- Normal races or tour stages where CL is bigger or the same as all skills (except for DH if Best Downhiller does not take place), and CL+DH+HL is bigger or the same as 1.25 SP+FR+TQ
- No Tour GC points


New: use of Chilibot

Thanks to Alexander from Team Chili, nominating in specialist categories gets a little bit easier. If you want an overview of the top-20 riders of this category based on points scored in races inside category in Division 1 t/m 3, do the following:

- Go to the OCM Chat
- look if 'chilibot' is online (it usually is)
- type in '/query chilibot'
- In the individual conversation screen with chilibot, type in 'q awardType 54 CL' (the number is the season, so it might be wrong if I forgot to edit it)
- You will now get a response from chilibot, giving you a link to the top-20, with points scored attached.


Beware however, this list does not take into account results in Div4 or lower, or stage results, or most of the new races, so always check if a rider has scored in any of those divisions/races before posting his points inside category. Also, make sure you don't miss that great rider who has won 10 races, but never made it to the higher divisions.


The format for this category:

Name:
Team:
OCM Tour Rank:
OCM Tour Points:
Points inside category: (Percentage between brackets)
wins, including  mention classic wins (Divisions in which races were won)
other results, including mention classic results (Divisions in which results were achieved)

Example:

Name: Lumi Doe
Team: Invisible Riders
OCM Tour Rank: 6th
OCM Tour Points: 1250
Points inside category: 1000 (80%)
2 wins inside category, including Z-B-Z (both Div1)
5 other results inside category (4 Div1, 1 Div1.1)

Please do it exactly like this, just don't nominate Lumi Doe
