FANTASY GIRO SCORING SYSTEM
The Velogames Fantasy Giro d'Italia runs a detailed scoring system, designed to fairly rate each rider's achievments over the 3-week event.
Points are scored at the end of each day and also for the final overall positions in the main rider classification at the end of the 3 weeks.
SCORES FOR THE TEAM TIME TRIAL
The Giro 2008 starts with a Team Time Trial. Points are awarded to all team members in the Top 6 teams, based on the following table.
Riders do not have to finish alongside their leading team members to receive points. However, they do have to finish the stage as a classified finisher.
No other points are awarded for Stage One. Therefore, no points are awarded for the Pink Jersey Standings.
| | Position | Points |
| 1st | 20 |
| 2nd | 16 |
| 3rd | 12 |
| 4th | 8 |
| 5th | 4 |
| 6th | 2

DAILY SCORES FROM STAGE 2 ONWARDS
