Prediction Game 2022 - Male edition

[hayneplane]

I'll take that for a yes. The initial rule of updating the original post instead of posting the pre race prediction in a new post still stands.
If anybody else wants to join is still welcome.

Thank you

 

[SafeBet]

I'll repost the original table just in case someone else wants to enter the game.
All other players should edit their original post for the pre-race prediction. Please do it before tomorrow at 11 AM.

[hayneplane]

Delighted with my pick for today!!!

 

[SafeBet]

haneyplane is the only poster who selected Girmay for GW. The update was pretty straight forward.

Again my pre-season favourite doesn't take part. My pre-race pick: Teddy Merckx!

 

[SafeBet]

Hurry, the race will start soon!

 

[SafeBet]

A few posters picked MvdP for Flanders, so we have some changes in the standings.
I'm still in the lead but Pantani_lives, topcat and Hugo Koblet are breathing down my neck! triley36, Samu Cuenca and Blanco also get points.

Nest stage: Amstel Gold Race.

Don't forget to submit your predictions for AGR.

 

[Finn84]

MvDP for AGR.

 

[SafeBet]

No one picked Kwiatkowski for AGR so no change in the standings.

Remember to post your prediction for PR before the start tomorrow.

 

[SafeBet]

Van Baarle with the upset at PR means nobody has picked the winners of the last 2 races!
Standings don't change.

@SafeBet sorry to be a pain and it still won’t trouble the top of the leaderboard but I had correct picks at both Strade and GW so should have 2 points rather than 1.

Well that is on me for not giving you a point for Strade when I made the first ranking.

 

[SafeBet]

Corrected!

Less than 2 days before the next race.

 

[SafeBet]

WE ARE ON A ROLL!
Three straight races with nobody picking the winner.

Certainly makes the updates light work!

 

[Krzysztof_O]

For the 3rd (or 4th) time my pre-season favourite doesn't take part. Pre-race prediction for LBL: Van Aert.

 

[SafeBet]

The Remco effect! Standings finally change after wonder kid takes maiden Monument.
@Bonimenier (who hasn't even posted a pre race prediction to date) and @hayneplane picked Evenepoel for LBL. They now join a few more managers at 4 points. I'm still in the lead but I haven't scored anything in a long time.

What happened to BlueRoads? just because Hodeg is not doing well She doesn't have to leave the forum!
On a serious note I hope everything is OK.

It was related to taking issue with how comments about the situation in Ukraine were handled. A shame as she was a valued forum contributor who brought a unique style.

Huh! that went over my head completely. It is a pity. Thanks.
