PREDICTION 2018

[Hugo Koblet]

Lombardia:

1. Valverde
2. Pinot
3. Uran

 

[Sciatic]

It seems very close to call among the top 4-5 favorites, but few other riders mentioned besides them. Given one of the top 4-5 will have a bad/off/mechanical day, that means few teams really invested in chasing breaks, so a better chance than normal for a second-tier, but in-shape rider, who is given too much leeway, to take it. So:
1. Kreuzinger
2. Pinot
3. Uran

Rooting for Pinot though . . .

 

[Dazed and Confused]

well, the Lutsenko situation went out of control, so going with long distance attack Bauke instead.

 

[Rollthedice]

1. 1
2. 111
3. 71

 

[Sartorius]

GdL:
1. Valverde
2. Bernal
3. Pinot

I'm pretty happy my predictions from the start of the year. Getting 2/3 on the Giro podium wasn't too bad, and the slightly unusual Thomas and Woods predictions weren't too far off either. I had a bit too much faith in Aru though.

Did I get last?

Sorry for late reply. I was quite busy last 3 weeks.

Yes, you are the absolute winner.

Regarding your prize, I will send the private message.

Well, you… errr… got the Giro in the right order! (With Pinot "finishing" higher than Aru because he DNFed later)

If he had had the Vuelta in the reverse order would that then also have been correct, since Landa was later to announce that he wouldn't take part than Froome?
