Boonen finally delivers, whoopee! :)
Van Summeren was the surprise and nobody picked him...:eek:
Two did good in picking Thor:cool:
Congratulations and happy easter to all!;)
 
All bets are updated and now posted on the first page! Curiously, the only person who did not send his predictions was the current cycling pool leader, "lookkg386". Anyone hear from him lately?

In other news, please make sure - for future events - that you send you predictions in the following format: ( Rider 1, Rider 2, Rider 3, Rider 4, Rider 5 )

Thanks, and GL to everyone tomorrow!

PS. I'm also going on a long ride tomorrow, and will be working in the afternoon (so expect the updates to happen much later on in the day!)

Cheers,

Merckx.

Ehm, I knew that, I just expect to do very badly:eek:
Though, scanning over the predictions, I believe you are one of the top scorers for Amstel. Having placed Cunego in fifth...

It's amazing. It's like the favourites have failed big time. Or we all managed to pick the wrong ones...Kroon could have been predictable..XD

Thanks alot marshan. I will be posting tomorrow's predictions here (because I still havent updated the first thread, this will be done once I finish my exams next tuesday). Again, I apologize to all participants! I will try to update if I can, but in the meantime I implore you to bare with me. Also, if you didn't send any picks for Fleche, there will be no penalty this week. However, those who have not sent any picks for more than 4 events in a row (without giving me warning, etc.) will be removed.

Had time to devise something on Excel today that makes it slightly easier

Top scorers today were bartoli and aarnold517. Bartoli has been propelled into 2nd on GC, really pushing Merckx hard now after two consecutive races with (joint) top score. No change in the "Winner" jersey today, as no-one had Rebellin for the win.

Streak points for 15 of the 19 finishers today - a * beside a name denotes a daily score of 9 or over, contributing one streak point.

Fleche W Today Prev Total
*Merckx 9 44 53
*bartoli 15 37 52
*BrandonT 9 40 49
*titan_90 12 37 49

*Kazistuta 9 37 46
*180mmcrank 9 37 46
*El Imbatido 12 33 45
*Indurain 9 34 43

Curiously enough, I believe this topic hasn't been this active in quite some time...XD

You know..I think I only scored 6 points, not 9...(Having Andy Schleck and Cunego, but both misplaced)....Or is there something I missed?
