damn you and boomcie

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

2 players picked Ventoso. Unlucky for those three who picked Petacchi.

I s....d big again. Went nowhere with Codol, thinking of a non-sprinter finish. I don´t see myself making the Top-16 at all.

Updated Standings:
2 Boomcie

(21 players with one point)

The provisionals, i´ll uptate after Stage 7.

If Anton isn't going for la Maglia Rosa, I sure hope he's targeting Stage 7!

damn you and boomcie

I honestly don't know why no one else picked him. Ferminal and TLR already explained themselves though

Edit: FoxxxyBrown also explained himself

 

[Tuarts]

Damn picked him on the wrong stage

Me too. I wasn´t thinking of sprinters for this stage and have 3 big loosers in my Top-20. I am already struggling after just 6 stages.OMG.

Freakin Jrod better win tomorrow

 

[JA.Tri]

Freakin Jrod better win tomorrow

I empathise, however I would prefer Nibali ftw (but if he cannot then maybe JRod might). Being stuck on zero is a bummer...and some of my GC are in the doldrums (my fault...lack of ability in the Team manager).

Anyway here's to an action packed stage!

I am guessing a score of 20 will qualify through to TdF. Given I made a poor choice on 5 GC selections I better luck out on some stage winners and get some GC placings correct.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Nieve FTW! hoped pettachi yesterday

 

[JA.Tri]

... hoped pettachi yesterday

Ditto, so close but no cigar...maybe "Killer" seeing he is 8 min back???

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Those 5 who had Scarponi are unlucky, but good for me, coz i was way off with Duarte

I doubt I'll make the cut
I am struggling. Worse, I have cav tomorrow. I clearly didn't look at the profile, because I doubt he will make it over that climb, and if he does, I expect he'll lsoe a position or two.. blahh... Menchov I have on etna wont come true either

Because of "the List"? Then we all would have the same problem.

I also have Cav tomorrow, but look worse than you now. At least i am in the cut for now.

Nope, I'm just pessimistic...

 

[Hartog]

Yeah... Cav. tomorrow is quite unlikely. Didn't see the final kms detail.

Ah well, this game isn't the most important. Cool stages like todays close finish make the Giro worth watching.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I am pessimistic since i lost 3 guys already. I don´t know about yours. I just hope to make the cut and root for Cav tomorrow

 

[boomcie]

I actually had Scarponi so you guys lucked out .
Still, a long way to go, a lot can happen.

easy to talk for you, you're winning

If not tomorrow then never. The stage is completely flat with a little bump in the road. I need Cav´s win tomorrow...

I just worry about the 1km @ 7.8% with just 2.5 km to go...

Make that 21 of us. Me included!!!

GO CAV!!

 

[Eric8-A]

Petacchi or Chicchi

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I hope ventoso wins, so no-one wins
