So you completely randomly hit all of Sagan, Valverde, Groenewegen, Aru, Pinot and four Danes? :)

Maybe my subconsciousness just really want multiple Danish stage wins this year.
Unfortunately my subconsciousness is also really stupid, because none of the Danes picked are going to win the stages they got picked for.

My random prediction got it right! :lol:

I've calculated the probability of getting at least one stage winner right with random predictions at around 11%, so it's not that unusual after all.

I hate to admit but this has been a pretty difficult Tour to predict. Even the big sprinters have all divided the wins.

Yeah, I finally managed to get to a grand total of 2 points today (Groenewegen on stage 7 is my only other correct guess).

I did have Sagan for three stages until now, but not stage 5 where I instead had Alaphilippe...
 
Regarding picking wrong stages for riders something like that would be better points distribution for future editions.

Winning stage 10p
2nd place on stage 5p
3rd place on stage 3p
Rider winning other stage 1p

The last one can be given only once per prediction. So in a race like this year's Tour, predicting Simon Yates winning Tourmalet stage would give 1p. Predicting him to win in Tourmalet and Val Thorens would give 2p.
