So once again, it's @Dk one who reigns surpreme. A huge congratulation is in order, after a dominating performance throughout most of the season

Just like last year, @Põhja Konn made a costly mistake, this time it was forgetting to submit riders for Romandie, although it might have been deliberate in order to avoid another second place
Instead it was @Gwbert who finished runner up after an impressive sprint during the last races.

No deliberate gifts were given , but last september and specially the middle part of it turned out to be the busiest time of my year. Combination of tight work schedule and a major military exercise for reservists I took part in meant that Romandie and this game had to take a back seat for the time being.

No regrets about ceding my usual place that way and podium is still a nice way to finish the season and maybe the game itself. .

In addition to @Armchair cyclist's CQ Manager Game, I would also be very grateful, if you decided to use the knowledge you may have gained from participating in the Amy Pieters Trofee, to take part in my new Emerging Female Riders CQ Game.

With the introduction of this new format, I now also feel quite certain that a fourth edition of the prediction game won't be held before 2025, if ever.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

This will be very confusing. You mean I only have to pick Demi Vollering once a season?!

It looks that way, I'm afraid. But on the upside, you can now pick a certain Venezuelan in one of the games.

Ah but because she got hurt in 2022 she would have come at a cheaper cost last year, whereas she achieved more or less as I expected her to last season leaving less room for profit, though it is tempting to select her just because I wanted to do so last year had the game matched this year's format, but the format of the game at the time as an experiment made it not worthwhile.

She might not be the best pick, but I'd still be slightly disappointed if she doesn't make into to your team 😉
