2011 prediction game

[taiwan]

Just to point out: Bennati is out of the Giro injured, Guardini agreed not to ride the Giro with his DS. Pozzato and Paolini also got pulled from he Katusha squad quite late.

The race countdown is 1 day 3 hours 14 minutes, so I haven't been mathematically eliminated from the competition yet. I will take a beating until they reach the big climbs.

La Gazzetta just posted a video of Menchov & Sastre doing recon. Fog, bad road surfaces, and snow snow snow. It's gonna be epic.

Oh I didnt know.

Could i change Guardini for Ventoso then please.

 

[Cobblestoned]

"I must break you" and send prediction tomorrow.

After yesterday having Foxxi-gameday, today Tuarts gameday (deadline this night), after that it's Sasquatch's gameday tomorrow (again).
Putting my whole game up was quiet less work than choosing the best possible 15 (9) in best possible way.

Anyway, I hope my game will also run (min. 10), and now warmly want to invite the other 3 game organizers to join if its possible for them.

For substitutions, do you want them in in the fifth spot, or in the slot vacated? Minor point, I know.

 

[Havetts]

PM it if you want to keep it secretely .

 

[luckyboy]

Where are you going to post the GC and stage predictions if Tuarts is away for a few days?

Good point, it'll have to be a new post. I'll post the updated season table down here first, then Tuarts can put it in the OP when he gets back.

I like the look of the new board.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

oh well, that looks cute.

 

[Ferminal]

For some reason I didn't put Ventoso to win points

Go Michele!

 

[El Pistolero]

I just send my team and points pick by the way

Forgot about them, but still in time I guess?

Also see you only had to put in one team, take Liquigas then(accidently send 2 lol)

 

[taiwan]

Yeah that was ok, I got a couple sent in entirely after I'd posted everyones picks, though, by hours. Unsure whether to put them in.

 

[taiwan]

I'll accept picks for stage 2 up until the stage start.

 

[Tuarts]

Nice work taiwan, looking snazzy.

Giro Stage 2 Picks

 

[Merckx]

Nice! Best part is, I don't think anyone has the same pics. There's alot of "Cavendish FTW", but the rest of the top5 seems different for everyone.

 

[luckyboy]

Wow only one person got Petacchi for the win.

I had Belletti in 3rd

 

[taiwan]

Stage 2 points and new standings



Eric8-A handing us all our asses. A lot of people got 6 for Cav and Petacchi, many expected a lot from Farrar, Ventoso and McEwen, but not to be. Kudos to those with double figures.

Nightmare there, had to re-do it twice, should be right now.

 

[Havetts]

If only Cav & Petacchi wouldve switched places and Bozic got 4th instead of 5th I would have gained an insane amount of points

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Unlucky, i could have scored an amazingly 28 points if Cav and Peta change places... Anyway, 15 is also good, having 4 out of 5 in the Top-5. Wow...

My comeback from the basement is mounting. The last two races were really good. Unluckly i didn´t play the first race.

 

[Eric8-A]

Woohoo! I'm leading once again. I got two I believe with Petacchi and Ferrari.

 

[Tuarts]

Thanks for doing this Taiwan. If you could now send me the updated sheet, I'll get everything ready for the next stage.
