OK I am closing definitely the whole year prediction. In order to make it more fan, I want to ask you to give me your pre-race prediction for each individual race including podium.

The final score will be a cumulation of points from whole year prediction + points from pre-race prediction. Points from whole year prediction will be doubled.
It means:
Hole year prediction: 2 points for winner (one day race, GT) 1 point for being on the podium
Pre-race prediction: 1 point for winner / 0,5 point for podium (correct placing does not matter this time)
To motivate you boys: I will buy the official Sagan jersey and I will do my best to get it signed by Sagan.
Winner will get the jersey. :)

Maximum points: 50 28 / 22

For those who do not present they pre-race tips, I will consider their whole year tip as the same as pre-race.
Please use the same format as below and the normal name of riders, not the nick. ( GVA and Kwiatko are the exemption :lol: )

To make it even more fan I decided to bet 30 EUR (10 EUR first three riders ) according to the general knowledge of this forum. Let's see how much we will gain/ lose this year. :D . I know this is not general knowledge as the most of us so biased.

I start with myself. Although I think Kwiatko is top favorite I never bet against Sagan when he has at least minimal chance.

Strade Bianche:

1. Sagan
2. Kwiatko
3. Stybar

This is HOPING Alejandro's travel issues don't take a toll on him for tomorrow. His flight to Florence was overbook and he was moved to a flight to Rome. Once he lands he has drive around 3 hours and hopefully he gets to the team hotel by midnight. Race starts at 10:45 Saturday morning. He'll be lucky to get 6 hours of sleep. This is a great example of why you don't make last minute travel plans like this. You'd think they could have done something better for their star rider.
