You should have been strict and not allowed my stupid switch

Well it shows you're human at least.

Add Persico in for Kopecky’s place then please.

You can still get full points, if you give me some names soon. Otherwise I'll have to pick some randomly.

[RedheadDane]

Come on! You wanna end our suffering, and provide the final score?

If my calculations are correct, I've slipped way off the podium.

 

[RedheadDane]

@Samu Cuenca... GET TO WORK!

If my calculations are correct, I've slipped way off the podium.

If we no anything about your abilities, then it seems likely that the second part can also be true without being dependent on the first.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Thank you to everyone who participated in the third edition of this game.
I sincerely apologise to all of you, as well as to Amy Pieters, for having been an absolutely horrible gamemaster, which you obviously didn't deserve.

Now that @Armchair cyclist has launched a full season CQ based game, and also in light of the fact that the men's prediction game hasn't been around for two years, my game has become somewhat superfluous. However, I haven't decided whether or not, I'll be hosting a reworked 2024 edition yet.

But for now, you're probably more interested in getting to know how the 2023 game turned out, so let's move on to that.

Final standings

@Gwbert 64
@Põhja Konn 63.5
@Libertine Seguros 61.5
@RedheadDane 59.5
@yaco 56.5
@Jumbo Visma Fan :) 45
@Samu Cuenca 37
@bminchow 34
@BR2 34

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.
