PREDICTION 2020

[BlueRoads]

So I did not score any points at all at the Giro and am still in front. Nice. Will the Vuelta green jersey which I wanted to give to Michael Woods be my downfall?

Hopefully, yes

 

[BlueRoads]

Hopefully, yes.

Are nasty people like you even allowed to play this game? The right answer would have been "no, of course not, everything's alright my dear, Woods will win five more stages and thereby green, don't worry".

I did edit to include a smiling emoji, but I see you saw through that...

 

[hayneplane]

To be fair to us tipsters anyone bold enough to pick that Giro podium pre race and put some money on it could now be considering retirement on their new fortune.

 

[tobydawq]

So, it's crunch time today. Are you ready Miss Roads? If Carthy gets past Carapaz, you win. If not, hihope and I win. Assuming Roglic keeps his lead of course.

Wait, what? So I have to hope that Hugh pushes Richard aside? Why do I always find myself in situations like that? Nothing against Carthy, but I like Carapaz, he's got nice eyes and a female coach and he's not against attacking.

Well, I don't think Woods can find 127 points to get past Roglic in the points competition

And my eyes are nice too, so no reason to be too sad if I win.

Maybe they cancel the green jersey competition. Isn't there a rule that at least one Spanish rider has to be among the top5, otherwise it does not count?

(I'm not going to ask you for a photo, although I am tempted.)

((What was I thinking with Woods?))

 

[BlueRoads]

So can I win this game if Roglic does not reach Madrid? I don't wish him a crash, but maybe it's his wife's birthday and he wants to be home early or he needs to help with the garden before the November storms or something and he won't start today?

 

[BlueRoads]

I did not do the math myself - do I have to congratulate fulfilled hihopes and nice-eyes-toby?

 

[tobydawq]

Aw, I see now that there is a tie-breaking rule on which I lose out

So my nice eyes will see nothing but tears.

Don't concede tobydawg! Ask for a recount!

As for meself...what a debacle

 

[Koronin]

Don't concede tobydawg! Ask for a recount!

As for meself...what a debacle

I'm with you on that.

 

[SKSemtex]

Hi, I am sorry for the delay. I have just turned 50 and it was too much drinking last 10 days.

Unfortunately, my fellow Sagan-fan is right. He lost is by stupid additional rules. The ultimate rule should be "Who is a bigger Sagan supporter here.

Congrats on the anniversary and thank you for hosting the competion, Semtex !
So it eventually ended as a danish 1-2 this year - not so bad. I should probably retire now as undefeated , if only I was smart enough to do that, but instead next year will reveal if it was mostly due to beginners luck. Hopefully we will have a next season, but patience seems to be needed.

I have sent you a private message regarding the prize week ago. Please check.

 

[SKSemtex]

Congratulations Hihope!!

Lesson learned. Slovenians want it all. No mercies. No gifts. Why having one jersey when you can have more.

 

[Hihope]

I have sent you a private message regarding the prize week ago. Please check.

Thank you, Semtex.
I was not aware of any prizes being awarded, nor the finer details of why I am listed as one and Tobydawg as second. But now I am excited, so I will have to try and find the private message ! Perhaps the award is a Sagan avatar for CN forum ? In that case I apologise for coming between you and Tobydawq.

Edit: Great prize, Semtex - very nice indeed!

 

[Hihope]

Congratulations Hihope!!

Thank you, Blueroads, for showing such fine sportsmanships. Not sure I would be able to show that, if I was beaten on the line only due to the points jersey in the vuelta ☺️

Well, that was before I knew there was a desirable prize!

 

[Hihope]

Well, that was before I knew there was a desirable prize!

There certainly is, but I am not sure I am allowed to tell what, or if it is common knowledge.

 

[Hihope]

Aw, I see now that there is a tie-breaking rule on which I lose out

So my nice eyes will see nothing but tears.

You can dry your eyes. Semtex' ultimate rule has now been revoked. As close as we get to a recount ...

bumps the thread

can we get another one of does for 2021?
