2011 prediction game

[Tuarts]

That's the scores for the TTT, fairly even across the board. Scores have be noted on the spreadsheet, I'll update the table after Stage 5.

Which is 3 days away so get your predictions in for that whenever you wish!

 

[Eric8-A]

Happy with that

 

[Tuarts]

It's stage 5 tomorrow so get your predictions in please!

 

[Tuarts]

Those that haven't, you've got 35 minutes exactly (when the stage starts) to get predictions in.

 

[Ferminal]

Aww ****, forgot

 

[Tuarts]

Aww ****, forgot

So did just about everyone else. I'm not actually sure what more I can do to remind people to get their predictions in. The first post is updated with the stages being used in capital letters, I put in a couple of reminder posts beforehand and my signature links to the game so hopefully that would trigger some peoples memory when in stage threads. Only got 10 predictions this time around. I actually thought people wanted this game, which is why I offered to run it because Merckx couldn't. Is it a case of too many of these popping up at the same time?

Anyway, today's predictions:

I keep forgetting which stages we're doing, althoughI do want to play. Why I was too late today.

 

[Tuarts]

Updated table with Time Trial and and Stage 5 scores.

4 people picking Cav to win, including our leaders, so they have a nice buffer atm.

Next stage is Stage 8, on Saturday. You're more than welcome to send your predictions in early, including for other stages.

 

[Tuarts]

Ok, some business.

I'm going to be afk tomorrow because of a football match, I'll be traveling up to the big smoke and away from my pc. If people get their predictions in, before 6am CET time Saturday, I'll try to post the predictions people have sent me so you can all see, then copy them to the sheet when I get back.

Also, flying over to Sydney day before Stage 12 with the family. So likewise if people want to they can send their predictions in and I'll try to post them up. Or, someone can organise predictions for that stage and publish them if people think that's easier.

Lastly, I have predictions from Cobblestoned in my email inbox but because email is being a **** at the moment, I can't get to it so I'll update with his predictions when I can too.

Looks like nobody will get many points out of this.

 

[luckyboy]

Ooh yeay, 3 pts for Gilbert + 6 for Evans and 6 for Sanchez


Damn my 2nd pick for the white jersey, Intxausti DNFed today.

 

[Eric8-A]

Seems like I only got Evans.

And I to chose Intxausti as one of my picks to win the Best Young Rider.

 

[Tuarts]

Sorry this is late, Stage 8 results:

Table after 2 stages:

 

[Tuarts]

Just a note, I am actually here for Stage 12, made a mistake its next week I'm off to Sydney which means I may have to post predictions like on Stage 8 and then do the table and adding up when I get back - which is on the Champs Elysees Sunday!

 

[The Hitch]

NOOOOO!!!!. The place of the thread in the games section keeps screwing me. Next stage is 12?

 

[taiwan]

Yep next stage is 12.

I'm pretty sure I'm losing to people who aren't even playing anymore.

Banned?!

 

[luckyboy]

Yeay I'm leading the TDF points

 

[Tuarts]

Yep next stage is 12.

I'm pretty sure I'm losing to people who aren't even playing anymore.

Banned?!

There's 5 people below you who haven't predicted since before the Giro that I have taken of the table to make it look neater and less stagnant. You've only missed 2 stages, Dauphine stage 3 and Le Tour Stage 5. Most points were lost I think on the GC picks from the Giro and Dauphine, I can message you all your results if you like. I will be putting the whole scoreboard table up after the Tour, just like I did after the Giro so everyone can see how they've been going.

Tomorrow is the big day in predictions for Stage 12 so get them in when you can!

 

[Ferminal]

Err, I meant Stage 12, wrote 15 for some reason...

 

[Tuarts]

Teams for todays stage! Good luck everyone!

Also, the sooner you send in your predictions for the other 2 stages the easier it will be for when I'm on holiday - because I can just list it all in a message to myself

If you send in now and a rider gets injured or you want to change, you can do that, nothing is set until the day of the stage.

 

[luckyboy]

Yeay Sanchez won + Basso in the top 5 = 19 pts

Also Sanchez in polka dots

 

[Eric8-A]

Sanchez, Evans, and Basso

 

[Tuarts]

Results from stage 12. Cobblestoned and luckyboy the big victors.

 

[Tuarts]

Ok, so I'm going away soon, will try and get to an internet cafe when over East so when you send in predictions, I'll update the post below then update all the scores and table after Sunday and publish everything. Good luck to everyone.
