Only my attention was in the Basque Country. But yours evidently wasn't on the TdF game, despite my ill-composed attempts to promote it on Parlamento.
Oh my bad, now I see your message. Was very cool to do that promotion "sillonista" 😁

Only the notification didn't arrive to me as in parlamento my user name is "Cordi3" 😅
But next year I'll try to remember and give it a try : )

Quite plausible that no-one scores another 1457 points with the races that are still on the season's programme for most of our riders.. The likelihood of Cordi doing that while SafeBet gets nothing is vanishingly small.

The battle between SafeBet and the Collective Ignorance will go all the way to the wire though. Just as well Leadbelly and JPettersen kept the two highest scoring riders of this edition out of that team.

Nice that I won a partial this year too. I'm keeping my own records from every one of your updates @Armchair cyclist, and I can say this is the first edition in which I won a partial each of the 3 years, winning 4 partials so far and thats a record too. Last year I only won 3 partials, all in the last year of the game while making the assault to the top.

But this year I'm doomed to 2nd position in the GC, no chance to catch @SafeBet. This 21/23 will be my 2nd edition finishing 2nd, after the 17/19 (which was my debut in the game). It will be the 4th podium in 5 editions, which is quite nice, but only 1 win and with much suspense and by a very thin margin. I guess I'm paying tribute to my childhood idol Valverde's carrer.

And so the game that has been most predictable for longest comes to its inevitable conclusion. SafeBet has been in the lead since June 2021, and has been top on at least 7 of the monthly updates. Cordi, winner of the 2020-22 edition in a very different race, has had almost as clear a grip on second place for almost as long, and Greenedge makes sure that the peloton are a long way clear of the rest.

The real battle for some time has been between SafeBet and the Collective Wisdom team, and despite strong contributions from Zana and Johannessen in the final weeks, SafeBet wins that one narrowly (a puncture for Van Wilder in his late Tre Valli attack, for example, would have been enough to reverse it). Had it not been for unique picks by Leadbelly (De Lie) and JPettersen (Skjelmose and Burgudeau), the CI team would have scored just short of 25000.

Full number crunching when the end of year modifications are done, but congratulations to Safe Bet, Cordi and Greenedge, and thanks to all who competed.


And when one game finishes, it must be time to start shortlisting for the next: how's that going for you all.

Gracias for the updates ciclista de sillón :)

My shortlist is quite done, already have my final 18 lads decided. Although maybe could change something at the bottom of the list between now & sending the team in january.
