2011 prediction game

[Tuarts]

Teams updated for this race:

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Nice pick to have Nibali and Scarponi in the correct spots

Should be 15 points.

 

[Tuarts]

Todays results:

Leaderboard now updated in 1st post. Things are getting closer up the top now and the chasing pack is still in reach of the leaders. "Things are far from over..."

PLEASE GET STAGE 15 PREDICTIONS IN ASAP!!!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I am a littele confused by the standings. Do i have 65+15 = 80 or 65+30 = 95 or simply 80 total points ??

As far i remember i had 65 points Pre-Giro...

 

[Eric8-A]

think if I would have chosen the team I sent in for stage 15 for today's stage, I would have gotten some pretty sweet points.

Hey Tuarts I pm-ed you yesterday to swap Rodriguez for Anton, so I should've got 12 points from that stage

Of course you did, and that was the PM I got the predictions from Will add (again! ) 3 points to your score on the table.

Giro score is just the total points you have scored from the Giro. Just a little "side" column.

Your score is calculated from points from every stage you have participated in.

Will post up the spreadsheet after Stage 15 so you can get a better understanding, and check to see if I've made mistakes!

PREDICTIONS FOR STAGE 15:

 

[Tuarts]

Sorry, I had to switch form this to the football (my team just survived in the EPL on GD ) and its now 1am. Results up tomorrow.

 

[luckyboy]

Aw for God's sake. If I had made this prediction for stage 14, I would've had Contador, Scarponi and Menchov in the correct place, with 3 points from Nibali too. Could've been 21 points.

Looks like another 9-pointer for me on stage 15. Looks like Tuarts takes pink.

 

[Tuarts]

Yep, as luckyboy says I move into 'Pink' for the Giro results but there are some changes to the overall. Merckx and I having good results puts us closer to the leaders, the first 6 are all within a point of each other. Merckx is now in the Polka Dot jersey as well after another 10+ points prediction. El Pistolero is the main loser overall, sliding down 3/4 places.

Hopefully we'll get some more predictions coming in for the finale and see the leaderboard change more. Might try and talk to those that haven't predicted for awhile and see if they still want to participate.

Anyway: Leaderboard is now up, spreadsheet with all the scores is now here and here's yesterdays stage results:

 

[El Pistolero]

That's cause I was to lazy to pick my top 5 twice

What's next stage?

 

[Tuarts]

Stage 21 ____

 

[Eric8-A]

I feel confident about stage 21. One of the guys I was gonna choose for that stage (Frantisek Rabon) isn't in the race anymore, but there are still more options.

 

[Tuarts]

Stage 21 is coming up soon - get your predictions in soon please!

 

[Tuarts]

Only have 10 predictions at this stage - has everyone given up on this game?

 

[Eric8-A]

Nope. I'm still in it

 

[Cobblestoned]

Where are the picks Tuartsman ?

Should look funny if you win this. lol

 

[luckyboy]

Well I have ******ed this stage up pretty badly. Got Konovalas and Clement wrong already, and forgot about Millar. Also Porte isn't doing very well, and after I did my pick Contador said he was going to take it easy.

Konvalovas
Contador
Porte
Menchov
Clement

 

[Cobblestoned]

I have Millar, but already 2 of my picks are out of Top5

1.Millar
2.Menchov
3.Nibali
4.Clement
5.Konovalovas

 

[Tuarts]

I went to see Pirates 4. I don't recommend it. Anyway it allowed a couple of people to send in predictions.

Here's the final predictions for the Giro!

Now to go watch it! Hopefully its not all over...

 

[luckyboy]

6pts for me

And 30 for pink, 20 for white

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I forgot think it's the 3rd time this year.

 

[Tuarts]

Right, I can barely keep my eyes open atm so here's todays rankings, some good scores there. Full table and Giro overall results to come tomorrow.
