[ExperienPT]

Almeida to the win?

 

[SafeBet]

G. Martin still has many opportunities.

I pointed it out elsewhere, but I want to note Almeida's dedication to this contest; his worst stage result in the whole Giro was 28th. He was never not looking for an opportunity to add to his tally.

And without really threatening to damage the run with a win.

I'm not so sure about that, that race vs Ulissi was super close... He must be more careful next time!

 

[Alexandre B.]

Martin already climbed up to Kelderman.

Martin already climbed up to Kelderman.

He's won't be denied.

 

[RedheadDane]

I think we can declare G. Martin the winner of this competition.
At least I'd be rather surprised if he wins tomorrow.

 

[tobydawq]

So, Almeida to be the true winner?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I really thought Martin had won this competition too, but he's on 23.
Vuelta al Ecuador is only ranked 2.2, so it's all over for him.

 

[RedheadDane]

So, Almeida to be the true winner?

Well, I completely forgot about Almeida...

 

[carolina]

Another great performance for Almeida. Impressive.

Can't wait for the portuguese newspapers tomorrow, celebrating this great accomplishment.

 

[Red Rick]

Isn't the true winner the one who gets 2nd here?

Surely this is bigger than a .2 race?

 

[tobydawq]

*So Martin is the true winner.

I hadn't counted before I made my previous post.

Edit: Red Rick beat me to it.

I thought you were pointing out that G. Martin might have reached, and passed, Kelderman(n), but not Almeida; the guy actually in the lead.

No, I thought he had passed Almeida, thus rendering the Portuguese the true winner.

 

[SafeBet]

These last few posts are badly f*cking with my brain. Hard to understand who doesn't win and who doesn't doesn't win this race.

 

[RedheadDane]

No, I thought he had passed Almeida, thus rendering the Portuguese the true winner.

Well, I'd lost count.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Does a top 10 in this competion also count in the results? Cause that would disqualify everyone.

Only Almeida is DQed for winning this competition. Congrats Guillaume.

But a DQ would make Martin the winner and so on and so on.

Why would having a top-10 in this competition disqualify people? This is about having as many top-10s, without winning, as possible.

Because a first place would mean an instant disqualification, and if the runner up then takes the win, he too would be disqualified
