Giro d'Italia starts in 4 days.

 

[Bonimenier]

Pre race Giro: Arensman

 

[Finn84]

I'm looking to get another horse for the competition, so my pre-race pick is João Almeida.

 

[noob]

I just wish we could guess the giro and vuelta podium too. But I totally understand if no one feels like doing all that counting (I myself couldn't manage it, if I could I would <3)

 

[SafeBet]

The CN forum strikes again! Nobody picked the underdog Jai Hindley so the standings do not change.
Is this the edition with fewer points scored?

Dauphine next.

 

[SafeBet]

Don't forget your pre race prediction for Dauphine.

 

[triley36]

Reminder to get Td Suisse pick in.

 

[SafeBet]

Roglic wasn't as hard a pick as many other winners this season, so it's no surprise there's some movement in the standings.
Check for mistakes!

Now a well deserved rest before the Tour!

 

[hayneplane]

Woo hoo 2nd place now. Big points available for the tour selections

 

[SafeBet]

Tour starts in 4 days!

 

[hayneplane]

Tour starts in 4 days!

A lot can happen to the startlist before then

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Maybe it's good to pick a non-Big3 winner in case COVID hits hard.

 

[SafeBet]

24 hours...

 

[Elos Anjos]

I think Vlasov will definitely podium and can even win if something like covid/crashes strike GC contenders.

 

[Finn84]

1st Pogacar
2nd O'Connor
3rd Vingegaard

 

[Jungle Cycle]

i know i didnt participate from the beginning and dont even have to put me on the ranking but TdF;

1st Pogacar
2nd Roglic
3rd Vlasov

 

[SafeBet]

And yes, we kept the streak going: nobody picked the TDF winner!
The way I understand the point system, you get a point for predicting a podium finisher (no matter where you predicted he would finish) and two points for predicting the winner (which nobody did).
Check for mistakes!

Good one. If I was the score keeper, I'd be in lead just like you.

The perks of being the score keeper

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The perks of being the score keeper

I haven't experienced those yet...

 

[SafeBet]

I haven't experienced those yet...

I think it's time for you (or anybody else) to take over for a few races.
At least until the Vuelta...

 

[triley36]

Remember to get your race day picks in for San Sebastián.

 

[triley36]

Not certain if anyone is still keeping track, but I am still going to add picks for the Vuelta.

 

[Finn84]

Carapaz for Vuelta.
