Time to pick who you would rather see win it all. (De viller) or (Miller) sorry no Robby vote

I would pick De viller so Robby can be the first U.S.A. born to win next year.

Their finishing order has been decided. If all three VWs are running together now then it has been decided it will be DeVillagepeople.

If the VWs run together all the way, it will actually close up Mark Millers time on De Villiers by the end of the day.

Tomorrows starting order depends on todays finishing order. If they run together tomorrow, whoever starts second tomorrow, gets to make up two minutes on whoever starts first (among the VWs).

Historically I think they don't race the last stage, kinda like the last stage of the Tour de France, right?
