Merckx said:Big Blue Dave, I've been running the prediction game, and so far (out of our 23 contestants) no one has been able to even predict 4 riders in the correct order. To predict the top 3 is still quite a feat, considering many things can (and often do) happen with 20k to go.

Alpe d'Huez said:Breakaway stages are almost impossible. Mountain stages very difficult. Sprint stages will be easier to predict, as the variables go down. Same with TT stages.
I have a hunch we might, maybe see a winner tomorrow as the stage is pool table flat. Or on Stage 12's ITT as we're all going to draw from the same dozen or so names, just in various combinations.
