No 3 points for a rider in the right spot, 1 for a rider on another podium spot?

We might have a winner come Paris-Tours then ;)

I agree, there should really be a "close enough is good enough" rule.

Credit to Dominga for picking Flecha for the win. For that matter, congrats to Flecha.

The odds of picking the top three in order are pretty long for the number of contestants. Maybe for the next round, if no one gets 1-2-3, but picks everyone on the podium, that should be a win. But instead of mailing them the musette, they have to ride by on their bike and grab it on the fly:)

Ha ha that's a great idea.

We have another great prize to give away once this one has been claimed too.

Thanks for all the entries and good luck for tomorrow.

Dan and the CN team
 
There was one person who picked Flecha to win, I think? To my mind, that poster could just as well get the prize. Wouldn't surprize me if noone picks the top three in correct order tomorrow either.
 
(Cycling really isn't as predictable as some will have it. Picking the winner is one thing, but picking the top three in a one day race where anything might happen, is really, really hard.)
