Team SimilarityWe don't need any teams to select a tie-breaking ninth rider to distinguish between identical teams: the most similar line-ups are those of SafeBet and TRiley36 with 6 riders in common.
Five man overlaps can be found on several pairs of teams:
Amis Velo with Earns; Amis Velo with Northerner; Archie with Titan; Bicycle Boy with Rote Laterne; Bminchow with Del; Bonimenier with Leadbelly; Bonimenier with Safebet; Northerner with SafeBet; and Otoxiep with Yellow Knight.
Four Seasons ChampionshipWe have 12 teams who have taken part in all 4 of my in-season games this year (Spring classics, Giro, Tour and Vuelta), so they fight out the Four Seasons Championship, but with Leadbelly having a huge lead after winning both the Spring and Tour games, and the only challenger within a country mile, Otoxiep, having a largely similar Vuelta selection, this seems something of a foregone conclusion.
But the standings so far:
