2011 prediction game

[Tuarts]

I think I may have stuffed up the points somewhere along the line this Vuelta so I have some work to do making sure everyones points is given to the right person.

So for now he's just the results for Stage 15:

[Tuarts]

9 and 0 are nowhere near each other on the numpad ffs. Like I said, I'm giving everything the once over, duly noted.

 

[taiwan]

I remembered to pick 19. Got it locked down.

 

[Tuarts]

Yep Stage 19 is tonight and please remember everyone that Montreal is on Sunday, that's included in this. Then its just the Worlds and Lombardia I think.

 

[Tuarts]

Today's stage:

 

[taiwan]

I know I struck out, but didn't you get my predictions?

 

[luckyboy]

Really rushed mine.

Didn't want to pick Anton as he was in the break already, but not many people did too well today, so I'm happy.

He was not in the break yesterday was he? Anyway for the first time i picked a winner after five predictions,

No I meant when I sent in my pick he was already in the break today. It would've felt like cheating to have picked him seeing as the stage had started.

 

[The Hitch]

I think i won the Vuelta.

 

[luckyboy]

Looks like you will beat me by 13 points unless Rodriguez loses the points jersey, then I will win by 7.

For the stages, I have 41pts, you have 49. We have 20 each for the mountains. 0 each for young riders + GC.
You will get 20 for Rodriguez's points win, and I get 15 when Geox win the team classification.

Cmon Mollema get some points!

 

[luckyboy]

Damn if Rodriguez does win the points jersey then I stay second in the overall competition by 1 point.


Done a quick working out and this is what the top 8 should get..

 

[Eric8-A]

I got nothing

 

[Tuarts]

I know I struck out, but didn't you get my predictions?

Yes, sorry, just didn't put them on the list for publishing here but they are on the stage sheet: Sagan, Gavazzi, Gasparotto, Lastras, Montaguti

Ok, finally done the whole recalc of stages, I had mixed up the names on the right hand side and was putting point on those rows whilst not realising that they didn't match up with the names on the left (the right one) so redid all the vuelta points and reset the wins/streak to after the CSS. For now here's the results for after Stage 19, with the GC points (though luckyboy is raining on that parade! ) and updated table tomorrow. Also try and get your Montreal predictions in before that starts, preferably around Vuelta time as I wont be up for Montreal.

Good stage for 2, unlucky for everyone else.
In hindsight probably wasn't the best stage to choose from. 2nd week didn't really have a lot too offer though.

 

[The Hitch]

Looks like lucky wins then.

 

[taiwan]

New Table:

Le bump. GC-Cobo, Points-Mollema, KOM-Moncoutie, Young Rider-Mollema, Team-Geox

 

[luckyboy]

Woo Mollema

Pretty happy with the Tour Vuelta double

 

[The Hitch]

Well done Daniel.

 

[luckyboy]

Thanks. Commiserations for losing on the final day.


Got 3 points for Gilbert for Montreal. Doubt many points were had from that race by anyone.

 

[Eric8-A]

Doesn't seem like I'll be reaching my goal for a top 5

 

[Tuarts]

First, here are the predictions from last night:

 

[Tuarts]

Now here's the final results of the Vuelta, Total Vuelta Score and Montreal:

So now how does GC look like?

luckyboy, after being in minessa's slipstream for so long now takes the lead! We've got quite a lot of battles coming up (just like a lot of GT GC battles ) over the last 3 stages, Lombardia and The Worlds (Road Race and TT)!

1v2
3v4
5v6v7
8v9
10v11
12v13v14

Good luck to everyone, now here's the full size table and the spreadsheet. Please download and check everything of yours is right, I do tend to make far too many error

Need to get the streak jersey

 

[Tuarts]

By rights you should have it, because you're doing better than the other two in the other categories but it seems daft to have the 3 different jerseys all at the one user, so treating it like wearing a jersey at a GT, eg Hushovd wearing Polka-Dots/Evans in Green, it goes to the next best, then I guess that would mean Hitch gets Green.

Was never sure what Merckx used for tiebreakers
