Ok, quite a relief! thanks a lot Tuarts, apparently one can't save his 'sent private messages' since they seem to be deleted right away?

Go to your User CP -> Edit Options -> tick the box next to 'Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default'

Race is still in the neutral zone so I'll give 15 minutes for anyone who hasn't submitted predictions to do so ASAP!

- 30 additional points are awarded if all 5 riders are predicted (in the correct order).

presumably this hasn't happened yet! (a bit late to look back at the rules i know)

Nope, minessa has gotten the closest I think at the Duaphine and some people have had 5 predictions in wrong order but no "perfect" score as of yet.

Bit belated but here are the results from the worlds and the penultimate table:

Only 2 of us predicted Cavendish and I was lucky enough to have Griepel too, wish I had this form during the year!

Now onto the table and it is mostly the same as before but some shifting in some of key positional battles:

Ian Caster :)p) has managed to edge ahead of aarnold517 on the last corner as they approach the finish.
The Hitch and myself have started the sprint for 5th early on and I have the edge there.
Ferminal putting everything into pushed down on his pedals too hard and dropped his chain, just being passed by Carl0880.

So with only Lombardia to go and the leaders in the finishing straight it wll go down to the wire! luckyboy may have pulled away from minessa at 200m but all it takes is an accurate prediction from minessa and luckyboy not to get anyone in the top 5 and he'll have pipped him at the line in a photo finish. No pressure boys, good luck :D
 
ahhh lost my spot on the podium in the penultimate stage...now the great debate, do i play it safe and go for that third place or take some risks going for the overall win....go big or go home i suppose :D
 
Damn. I never realised we did Poland. I thought it was left out. Last time i had internet was when it was said it probably wouldnt be included and didnt have it till after the race.

Now that I started doing well I looked back and saw that it was included afterall:eek:

Kind of my own downfall since i pushed for it to be included at first.

Poland were easy points as well because of the predictability of the winners.

No, never did Poland. There were like only 7-8 people who ended up putting in predictions so I canned it but posted people's predictions so they could see how well they'd have done. Didn't do any of the stages either so not sure where you got the idea Poland was done? If you look in the 2nd post, in the excel document, Poland isn't there, nor on the full table.
