[Michielveedeebee]

Phew, I'm back in the game .
If I saw correctly, only "User Guide" keeps his perfect score.

2 people had 2 points I thought... Nope I'm wrong, you right

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

ventoso better win today

nevermind, 8 of us.

how did i get 5 points? i only picked the correct winner for stage 1 which is 1 point.

That is including points from the "Virtual" GC.

It's kind of irrelevant at this stage, but will be a useful guide once they hit the mountains.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Correct Ferminal. It doesn´t say much now, but it will show early trends.

 

[Eric8-A]

Sweet I'm off to a good start

Eric8-A... The Beast of all 3 Games

I wish I could say I'm a beast at the CQ game. I'm a total bust in that one.

That might have started too early (December, right?). And isn´t it so, that all earned points get lost when a rider had clinic issues?

I think it's only when a rider tests positive and is given a ban. Like at the moment whoever has Ballan, I'm sure they still have his points.

But the only rider that isn't going to score for me is Pellizotti. I've mentioned here before that I've been really looking at riders to put into my 2012 team to hopefully do better than I am right now.

I hereby withdraw from the competition with Wouter in mind

I hereby withdraw from the competition with Wouter in mind

I'll continue the competition, and if I should win (which, in all honestly, is not looking good so far with 0 points ) I will ask FoxxyBrown1111 to donate the prizemoney to Weylandt's family if possible. If that's not possible, to some kind of charity organisation in Wouter's honour.

Not too bad of an idea, I'll join you on this one

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Ok. I have no problem with that, if all agree.... Just crashed myself today with a car not looking for bikes, but luckily only have some bruishes. I left the hospital on my two legs. Thanks god.... RIP Wouter Weylandt...

 

[The Hitch]

Foxy its very nice of you to offer $50, but I think every single person in this game joined for the fun.

Like Tuarts said some time back, its your hard earned money, and none of us would feel anything but very guilty if we were to recieve it.

Unless of course you are some sort of millionaire to whom $50 is pocket change, in which case my opinion would change

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Hitch, i think we just all settle down after the shocking news of Wouter. I have a misserable day, first Wouter then myself. After that we´ll find a way. I am open for everything.

But i think the game should go on, what else can we do?

 

[Eric8-A]

Just like the Giro will continue, the game shall go on.

Went with Visconti, but seems he's out of form

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

man stage 1... I contemplated htc went with garmin, stage 6 i contemplated ventoso.. and blah... still on 0

 

[Ferminal]

This was the hardest stage for me to pick. Couldn't choose between Ventoso or Petacchi so ended up going Visconti
