January 4, 2009 (Val di Fiemme, Italy) – Here are the revised standings after Stage 6 as both the men’s and women’s stage winners, Axel Teichmann (Ger) and Virpi Kuitunen (Fin), each won three stages at the TdS and earned their teams 20 bonus “Kick and Glide” points which were not included previously.

The new standings also place Team Skinouk2 in the lead by six points over Team Jeffries in second as their Outlaw Skier points had not been included. Apologies all round and look for provisional final overall TdS standings shortly. As per the contest rules the final winners will be announced one week following the TdS to allow for the Doping De-Points rule. Click here for the revised contest standings after Stage 6.
