Best Climber

Looks like Pepping wins this vote, he'll be on the voting form.

Pepping gets my vote.

You’re right, I didn’t know that about the cup, I’ll edit it now

strong category

My vote goes to Pepping


Wrt his pointscheck his total is 976

From those the excluded points
3. France Critérium Tourmalet 60
7. Bolivia Macha - Cerro Rico de Potosí 8
8. Chile Casablanca - Tiltil 8
7. Norway Tour 50
9. Copa Andes 0 (should be 3, but believe the game doesn't give out the points in cups (known bug?)

126 in total
976-126=850

I think the 3 difference comes from Copa Andes, that are probably extracted by EST from the total. Anyhow should be 847 or 850..

My vote would go (narrowly) to Haydon.

Checked,

Had a different number of points inside category for Pepping. Counted 3 times and had 3 different numbers and noe of them was 847. So would be nice if someone else can check it also.

I would rate Jerry Tuimavave above Drozd -- 3rd in Castillos (would have won it but for an off day) and more points, all div 1. Kinda irrelevant though since none of the voting nominees will be a factor I feel.

Looked through all Top-9 finishers in climbing classics, the Top 9 GC finishers in the two tours which GC counts towards category and Top-40 season end ranking. Let me know if you find any others
