2021 Tour de France - STAGE AND JERSEYS - Predictions Challenge - (STILL OPEN FOR LATE ENTRIES)

Tour de France stage AND jersey winner challenge.

(Sorry about being s late this year- I will keep it open for entries until Saturday 23.59), but obviously points after the fact will not be valid).

Entering format:
As I copy everything into Excel, please use ONLY the following format:

STAGE WINNERS
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name

YELLOW JERSEY
Name
Name
Name
Name
Name
(and so on)

Order of lists is ALWAYS:
STAGE
YELLOW
GREEN
POLKADOTS

No numbers, no stage numbers (Excel can count ;)) , no commentary, nor anything else.
If the rider is the only one with that surname, using just that is fine.
If several riders have the same surname, use the first name (or the first letter of the first name, if enough)

For an example, see my own guesses in the post on page 9.

If you think all the jersey stuff is too much, you can just do the stage winners thing - you will still be in the competition, but obviously with fewer possible points. - The jerseys is mostly just for having more stuff to guess at, more points to give out - and better tiebreakers :cool:

UPDATED points system:
1 point: Call the stage winner.
1. point: Call the Yellow Jersey holder after the stage.
1 point: Call the Green Jersey holder after the stage.
1 point: Call the Polkadot Jersey holder after the stage.

(Not including the White Jersey, as it is a secondary classification within the GC).

Tiebreakers for the overall score:
Most stage wins called.
Most different stage winners called.
Most correct Yellow Jerseys called.
Most correct Green Jerseys called.
Most correct Polkadot Jerseys called.
You share the win.

Not really, I should have picked someone more likely to win the ITT than Bettiol if I really do.

It wouldn't make you any difference in comparison to the rest.
This way you could profit.
