RedheadDane's Pro Cycling Christmas Calendar - 2nd Edition

[RedheadDane]

Remember my Christmas cycling calendar last year? Well, this year it's back, with a few updates:

1. It's a 2-in-1 now, with a women's version as well.
2. The rule about only one entrance per rider is no longer in function. This is my cycling Christmas calendar, and I will be biased! Also, some races just have to be included.
3. For the women, it won't be WWT races only, as I simply couldn't find races corresponding with every date.

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24	25	26
27/11	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24	25	26

How does this work again?

How does this work again?

Every day one of the numbers in the table turns purple and then there is a link to a highlight video of a race that took place on the same date (as in day number) as today.

For someone who's afraid of numbers, it's quite a project.

 

[RedheadDane]

This also means that in some cases it should be quite easy to guess what the day's entrance(s) are gonna be. Today is a bonus, hence why there's only one for the men.
Also, forgot to mention, because I've had to move quite a few levels down for some of the women's entrances those races might not have had any sort of coverage, and I... really don't know what I'm gonna do those days...

Are you any good at stop go animation?

Are you any good at stop go animation?

Unfortunately... or fortunately for you guys... the answer is 'No!'

I still think you should just pick your favourite highlights from the season without caring much about which dates they occured on. But if you want to make it harder for yourself, then be my guest.

Maybe, if the UCI keeps hosting WWT races on dates between 27th and 31st... but that'll be next year...

See if you can guess what today's theme is, and you can win the great prize of... absolutely nothing!

De Ronde? I want a prize.

A lot of nothing has now been delivered outside your door.

Well that's PostNord for you.

 

[rallybanana]

Well that's PostNord for you.

From Wikipedia: "The owners of PostNord Group are the state of Sweden (60 percent) and the state of Denmark (40 percent)"

So you can apportion 60% blame to the Swedes for your big box of nothing.

The rule about only one entrance per rider is no longer in function.

If only last years edition was so sensible.

 

[RedheadDane]

I forgot to post this little bonus yesterday. A picture of chaos!

 

[rallybanana]

I'm confused. Stage 6 of the men's Tour de France happened on the 7th of July. Did you post tomorrow's highlight today by mistake? As today is the 6th of December...I think

Well, I am not known for my strenght with numbers... I will correct it when I get home from work.
And, Toby, shut up!

When was I shutting down?

I know you were thinking about making some "funny" comment about my supposed "fear of numbers", don't lie!
Funny thing is, I actually recall thinking that the "Cobbled Chaos Day" was definitely one of those days that had to be in calendar, but then I saw what was supposedly today's entrance, I thought it was simply a case of "making a difficult choice", and SB winning out.
Hey, at least it means the "Bonus Picture" got posted on the right day!

(Shameless bumb!)

It's time for a very close finish. No points for guessing what I'm talking about.

What's a bumb?

Anyway, I want points for guessing Amstel! Or at least a prize.

A soft bump!
And you're gonna get the exact number of points advertised for guessing it correctly. Which is no points!
And you already got your prize of absolutely nothing for guessing De Ronde on the 3rd!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What's a bumb?

I think it's someone who's a part of a brutto troup.

I think "brutto troup" must be the term of the year.
