Prediction 2021

Since I haven't seen a prediction thread for this year and Strade is pushing its sand through the door, I made this.

I'd like to keep most of Semtex' rules of last year. You just name the rider who will win. Points are listed. So the table looks like this:

RaceMarch predictionPre-race prediction
Strade Bianche (1 point)
Milano-Sanremo (1 point)
Gent-Wevelgem (half a point)
Ronde van Vlaanderen (1 point)
Paris-Roubaix (1 point)
Amstel Gold Race (half a point)
La Flèche Wallonne (half a point)
Liège-Bastogne-Liège (1 point)
Giro winner (2/1 point)
Giro podium 2 (2/1 point)
Giro podium 3 (2/1 point)
TDF winner (2/1 point)
TDF podium 2 (2/1 point)
TDF podium 3 (2/1 point)
TDF - Green jersey (1 point)
TDF - White jersey (half a point)
TDF Polka dot jersey (1 point)
OG Road Race (1 point)
OG Time Trial (1 point)
Vuelta winner (2/1 point)
Vuelta podium 2 (2/1 point)
Vuelta podium 3 (2/1 point)
WC Road Race (1 point)
WC TimeTrial (1 point)
Il Lombardia (1 point)

It's only for the men's races, if you want to make a game for the women, feel free!
I'd like to ask you which races should be included, but as time's running out, I'd say we just start now.
Pre-race predictions can be entered until race starts, March predictions need to be done until Strade starts. No need to PM me, just place your visions in this thread.

One important note: I'm very bad at calculating and I don't know how much time I will find to update things. I would love somebody else to take over and make this game theirs. If nobody wants to do it, I'd still love you guys to occasionally do the updates whenever you feel the need.

Second note: Last year's thread was in this subforum, but if a moderator would like to move this to the games section, you can of course do it, but it would be great if in that case you could link it to this place.

Love and hope for many players :candybar:!

When we add our pre race prediction do we post again or just edit our original post?

Also when it says 2/1 does that mean you can get 3 points if your pre race and March predictions are the same?

Better post again. If you edit your post give a short notice, because in case I'm still the game runner by then I will probably miss it otherwise.

If I remember right, 2/1 for the Grand Tours means you get 2 points if you get the exact position right and 1 if the named rider is on the podium but not in the spot that you predicted. Can somebody else confirm this?

I demand that Scheldeprijs be in this game! And the Tour of Guangxi.

You could take over, then you can include races at your own will. :smirkcat:
Or we say an eighth of a point for those races... but then you will have to do the math, anyway...
