Grand Tour Elimination Game ( 2010s )

[tobydawq]

I panicked like Evans on stage 19.

Or Voeckler?

The 2011 Tour is one of those races that is memorable for certain reasons, but wasn't a great race. I'd put the 2015 Tour in that category as well. There are a few others that fit as well. I did skip a day that I didn't hurt it that I could have.

And what does this single skip make you? Koronin The King Of Kindness?

 

[gregrowlerson]

Or Voeckler?

Please never associate me with that clown.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I demand that we do this all over now.

And that you can only vote if you have an even number of characters in your username (including spaces) and don't have an alliterative username.

Edit: No scrap that, that would hurt my friend, Greg. You can only vote if you only have lowercase letters!

I have an idea for a new game after this one has concluded. The GT's of 2010's again, but we heal and hurt "the best/strongest worst/weakest GC winner" of that decade. Because I think this can play out quite differently than this current game. For example, imo the 2014 Tour wasn't a great race, but Nibali was one of the best GT winning performances.

Okay, Contador 2011 Giro will probably win, but I'm intrigued by the idea of this vote.

Given that the Tour has the strongest competition, there should be at least seven Tour winners remaining when fifteen are left. But there isn't a lot of love for the Tour, so Aru might still outlast Evans

P.S. Winner on the road, not in the clinic.

That sounds like a fun one.

We can also compare our own list of GTs to how it popped out.

That sounds like a fun one.

Red Rick (rubbing hands together): "How shall I use my political influence to ensure that Vincenzo Nibali's four grand tour victories are the final survivors alongside Alberto Contador's Zomegnan masterpiece?"

First I take the CN forum, and after that, the whole wide world

Red Rick: The Chancellor.

Well, better than Tony Martin, The Cancellor.

The thread would probably inevitably devolve into Clinic matters, so it might be better to put it there - although it would probably then be pretty civilised, a bit like the Fantasy Doping Draft, which was a lot of fun and relatively good-humoured considering it could have been an absolute bloodbath in the Clinic.

I feel that we're into kind of the eye of the storm in this game now, there's a period of relative tranquility - the game started with a bloodbath of strong opinion over the very worst, then all was calm for a bit, then we've had a period of heightened tension over the survival of the most divisive race of the era, now it'll probably settle down for a while before we get to the point of there being only a handful left to fight out the victory.

No, but showing I wasn't necessarily hurting it each time I could. As much as I really don't like that one, most if not all of the ones that went before it were worse. There's a few more that probably should go shortly as well.
