2011 prediction game

[El Pistolero]

i suspect first place in flanders will be 99% the same.
the 1% being el pickle for gilbert of course

Too bad I'm picking Cancellara.

I think that 1% will be you picking Gesink

 

[El Pistolero]

yeah keep the rules simple.

I might suggest a few more stage races tho; Basque, Romandie, Eneco... maybe even Poland?

Basque and Romandie should be added I think. Don't care for the others.

RvV is coming up this weekend so don't forget about this! Already had a couple of predictions. New players are welcome.

Screw you

The other 2 should also be added. Some people might personally believe that they arent prestigious but one of those races is over 80 years old, and all the points system judge them to be equal to Romandie and Pais Vasco.

Whats the harm. Its just more fun and in fact those 2 races are more difficult to predict than Vasco and Romandie.

 

[Tuarts]

Ok, I added Poland to the list. Not really keen on doing any more because of overlapping + time factor.

That's the point, it's totally unpredictable.

I think Vasco is pretty interesting seeing as Contador isn't riding in it(ergo more people can win it, if he's in it, only he can win it)

thanks.

Ill can help out. June - september is where i built up my huge post count last year and ill probably have similar free time at this point in 2011 as well.

I'll pretty much be submitting predictions until the game's over. Only thing is I'm gonna submit the day before just to be 100% sure of my picks.

 

[ansimi]

Hmm, tougher to find bargains for these races. Maybe I'll just pick the entire Leopard team and go for assist points

 

[Ryaguas]

wow... I totally forgot to make changes for GW and I'm still in the top 10??
wow... that's awesome hahaha
I'll try to rip off RVV and PR =D

 

[Tuarts]

Thanks Hitch, may take you up on it when the time comes.

 

[Tuarts]

You didn't make changes for G-W after MSR, you had to pick people to cover both events.

The transfer was opened after GW; everyone had the same teams for MSR and GW.

Hopefully the loss in Garmin's stock is my fortune. If a lot of teams lost faith and dumped them, I can scoop up those points and make up some ground. They're due aren't they?

The rest of my team is staffed by Cancellara and his teammates, and Goss (fingers crossed).

 

[Havetts]

Quick bump for those who still have to send in their predictions!

 

[Tuarts]

Yep, there's been a steady flow so far coming in. This week I think will be especially important because it'll be peoples uniques who separate them from the rest.

 

[El Pistolero]

I'm really struggling who to pick for the win. I might pick Boonen, so if Cancellara fails I'll have some bonus

Hmm, hard hard.

There's going to be rain and that definitely favors the Belgians over the Italians(yes, that includes Cancellara)

 

[luckyboy]

It sure will be an interesting Ronde if my prediction is right

 

[Tuarts]

My selections:

Cancellara
Boonen
Gilbert
Flecha
Van Avermaet

Please get your predictions in soon if not early tomorrow please.

 

[Tuarts]

Those people can't check their outbox/sent messages? Seems a bit redundant to post who's predicted, who hasn't and then post the teams before the race (where you can check if you're there and then post the results as well. I could reply to the predictions but that would east up space in my messages box.

That said, from those that played last time (new entries are welcome):
Hugo Koblet
Sasquatch
Jancouver
Cobblestoned
Eric8-A
Merckx
El Pistolero
Timmy-loves-Rabo

All haven't put in their predictions, everyone else has.

Oh right. Well i dont have an outbox (well i do, it just has 0 messages in it at all times) so i assumed no one else did.

There is an option to save sent messages.

But your storage fills up in half the time

 

[Jancouver]

Flanders Top 5 sent. I'm trying to be creative therefore I didnt pick any of the obvious names....risky move

 

[Eric8-A]

Just sent in my top 5. I hope I can stay withing the top 3 after tommorow.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I took some risks. I already regret not picking a certain someone as winner

 

[Ferminal]

Mine are boring...

Cancellara
Boonen
Gilbert
Haussler
Goss
