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

Nobody picked Lutsenko, so status quo in the standings

To make the game a bit more diverse, I have changed the points system.

- The first post has been updated with points system and tiebreakers.

It's still 1 point per picked stage winner, but if the guy you pick takes or maintains the yellow jersey, it will give 2 points (1 additional point).

It should make it less probable with a 5-way tie for the win, like last year.

And yeah, I know some might have picked differently if this new rule had been known, but we'll have to live with that

Current standings (with the new "yellow" extra points):

4:
Giggs_98
Jspear
triley36

3:
Pöhja Konn
Jungle Cycle
Northerner
Finn84
Armchair cyclist

Editing mistake, you are back (first post in the thread)

I picked him.
However, for the stage 6.
And 6 is inverted 9 .
I also picked Herrada for the stage 8 (and GVA for 14)
On the basis of the above I demand to be awarded by one third of the point. ;P))

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Nobody picked Van Aert - status quo

 

[Jungle Cycle]

go Mollema!!

 

[BlueRoads]

This stage will be won by Bernal. You can bet on it. I predicted it.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Nobody picked Peters, of course, status quo

 

[RedheadDane]

So... who lost money because they believed BlueRoads?

The betting markets tend to lag behind in races,

This went on when he was 20 seconds up the road

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Nobody picked Pogacar (we are all idiots).

Status Quo.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

7 players had Bennett for this one.

Giggs_98 moves into the lead alone with 5.

The standings in the first post have been updated.

Of course he had to win this stage instead of those two I had him for!

 

[bob.a.feet]

Of course he had to win this stage instead of those two I had him for!

He better win again tomorrow. I had Rossetto... he's not even in the race.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Picks for stage 11:

Ewan: 9
Bennett: 9
Sagan: 3
Nizzolo: 3
Laporte: 1

 

[Broccolidwarf]

9 players had Ewan as the winner today.

Giggs_98 maintains his sole lead, now with 6 points.

Jspear, triley36, Jungle Cycle and Broccolidwarf are joint 2nd with 5 points.

Anderis got rid of his goose egg and made his first point!

Standings in the first post are updated.

Stage 10: Ewan
Stage 11: Bennet

So cliche...

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Nobody scored points yesterday and today, as nobody had Hirschi and Martinez.

 

[RedheadDane]

Stage 14: Søren Kragh Andersen

 

[Red Rick]

So we spent yesterday making fun of @Gigs_98 when the mad lad is quietly leading this.....

 

[Anderis]

Funny, I recall considering picking Andersen for this stage but I went back to check my prediction and it was not him that I ulitmately went with.

Guess if you shout around enough badly thought out stuff you'll happen to be correct on something too once in a while.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

I've just noticed that i had Ewan down for a win in stage 3 and I still have my goose egg! Please may i have a point and leave Koronin and RedheadDane to fight it out?
