Unbelievable comback by Timmy Rabo. He qualified on the last day (being "laterne rouge" for some time, and never in Top-16 since mountain stages started)

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

also jumping into the Top-16 on the last day are:
Dlwssonic and
Sylvester (nice finger crossing )

 

[The Amateur]

Oh boy, I hope I make it. Looks like I might miss it.

* google.docs makes problems, access denied because too many people at once shared the document. They are "funny" people

Anyway, may everybody control their points if they are correct. I am 99% sure they are.

No ties between 16th and 17th separation. That means it´s a pretty clear picture. Standings with all tie breakers will follow. They have no influence in qualifying orders (see above), so they are just "important" for statistical reasons (clear rankings).

It was a nice rollercoaster ride

hahahah i cant believe i made it .

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

hahahah i cant believe i made it .

Falling out of the Top-16 on the last Day:
Luckyboy,
Mortand,
Cobble

I feel sorry for you...

 

[Greenflame]

Yay, made it to the Tour! Lost a few places since yesterday, despite getting the stage win right, but didn't matter in the end.

Thanks Foxy, has been fun so far

 

[boomcie]

Congrats Hartog!
Just wondering, who prevailed in the stage sub-competition? I think I'm close

EDIT: also congrats to Timmy, well deserved!

 

[Cobblestoned]

Thank you Alberto

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

It´s you Boomcie (6)

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Thank you Alberto

Yop, at least giving 3 stages away... i am just relieved it made it despite of him

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Interesting note: Hartog moved from the waiting list (only plays, coz some people didn´t send picks in time) all the way to the top... great move

other way around: Timmy Rabo was sending picks first and juussttt made it. Same with dlwssonic; 1st to register for the game, and just making Top-16 on the last day.

Kazistuta´s blunder (not picking Scarponi anywhere in the Top-20) cost him the much needed point...

Funny how things go in life...

 

[boomcie]

It´s you Boomcie (6)

And keep in mind that I foolishly missed out on the TTT... (That would have been 1/3)

Awesome game by the way Foxxy, thanks a bunch. TdF here we come!

 

[jobiwan]

Aaaahh!!!!
If Menchov had gone 7 seconds faster, Rujano would have been in 8th and I would have gotten 2 (EDIT: 4 points, oh the agony!) points instead of one!!!
Or if I hadn't been stupid enough to not pick Contador to win, so many what-ifs!!!

Soooooooooooooooooooooo close!!!
Oh well.

I wish good luck on all the remaining competitors, and thanks to Foxxy for organizing and managing a great game!!

(P.S. I might just make Tour predictions just for fun! The Tour always seems to be a lot easier, cause you always know that Voeckler, Casar, and Fedrigo are going to be in breakaways!)

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yeah great stage pickingby you... I made big mistakes there. I need to re-think my whole picking process

Thanks.... and keep in mind, Hartog made it from the WL. Who knows who´s sending picks right on time There´s always a small chance.

Anyway, it was close...

 

[Sasquatch]

Great job running this game.

I think I have shown I'm going to be one of the favourites. At least I do better in this game than my own.

 

[mortand]

This.

Menchov's got a lot to answer for, as he's also one of my very expensive captains in another manager game. But after this quite disappointing Giro, I have to say: No raise for you next year, Denis!

Anyway, great game Foxxy - good luck to anyone who qualified for the next round.

Sheit!

Well, one can only blame oneselves - good luck to the rest of you ******s

 

[The Hitch]

I think im going to the Tour.

Just waiting for that magic phonecall from Foxxybrown to confirm it.

Yeah, at least you have the advantage in the 1st tie-breaker step once you might need it

Rujano=double points

even more bad for jobivan. May those 7 seconds saved me, which hurt him big time.

This.

thank you, i tought you made it first. looked cut until the last second

Sheit!

Well, one can only blame oneselves - good luck to the rest of you ******s

lesson for next year: never miss a favourite. Otherwise great picks ...

I think im going to the Tour.

Just waiting for that magic phonecall from Foxxybrown to confirm it.

I need to get google.docs running again. Those guys make me sick...

Anyway, you have so much points. It´s obvious you are one of the better qualifiers. Congrats
