Prediction 2021

[wheresmybrakes]

Vuelta.

Bernal
Roglic
Grandad

 

[Escarabajo]

I guess I am the only one who don't see Roglic in the Podium. Oh well, I have been proven wrong many times.

Feel free to put the table in the correct order, Samu, it's a fair punishment for you sucking here.

Kovo ruled this round with 5 points, Koronin and Tonton added 4 points to their score. All in all we didn't show the best of predicting abilities... after all 12 points would have been possible. But of course the Vuelta is always tough as you never know who's going to be there at the end of the GT season.

@Kovo in the lead with 21 and a half!
2nd is @triley36,
and still within decent reach is @Tinnekeisabella in third. It's going to be hard for everyone else to reach them, but think of your reputation and remember to give your best for the Worlds and Lombardia where a total of 6 points can still be gained!

Any complaints about my math skills can be made until October 10th...

Primoz didn't disappoint me but Bernal screwed up my chances. I wanted to go up the rankings with Padun gamble but he was like 100 kg overweight and they didn't let him open the throttle fully.

 

[topcat]

A legendary performance by Samu.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A legendary performance by Samu.

Well I did sort of cheat this time, though I wasn't very lucky either.

Yeah, your gambling just didn't pay off...

Neither did mine, which wasn't even so brave. Out of contention for the win as well.

 

[Kovo]

WC TimeTrial -> Filippo Ganna

 

[Krzysztof_O]

WC TT -> Evenepoel

 

[Põhja Konn]

WC TT: Van Aert

I made the same gamble and also misjudged how empty the tank was for Carapaz!

 

[hayneplane]

WCTT - Remco

 

[Bonimenier]

TT van Aert

 

[BlueRoads]

Think I already had him in my first prediction, but just for security: WC ITT: Ganna.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

WCITT Kung

By the way, the rules...
I think we still don't have a deal-breaker and it's always a bit unfair to introduce it in hindsight, so, if the points-situation after Paris-Roubaix is such that we might have a draw after Lombardia, I will ask who it does affect to name the Top10 of Lombardia. Points will be:
50 for winner
30 for second
20 for third
10 for 4th
5 for 5th
4 for 6th
3 for 7th
2 for 8th
1 for 9th
1/2 for 10th
That should decide it.
Everyone who is still in the mix for the win after P-R will be reminded per PM to post their top10. I hope I remember. If I don't post the reminder here after P-R I might have forgotten, would be awfully nice of another member to take over or remind me in that case.
Okay?
