The Great Grand-Tour-Game 2011

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yeah, i just looked at all published standings. You were always last, but once (15th). So you might turn a "Rabo". Such a comeback would be even bigger than his in the giro.

Karpets and Coppel are your guys...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Schlecks are just annoying. What a waste of time. Their "tactic" seems to be to bring two on the podium instead of trying to win the TdF.... This is not track racing, but road racing guys

And then they´ll cry again like last year (this year after loosing the TdF on the last ITT). For years we´re suffering now from the "Luxembourg calccio". Up to today, i didn´t know we are on Soccer-Racing nowadays... Bring on the Vuelta please.

I know this should have been written in the "road thread", but there it would have get lost in 1.000 posts.

Good thing: Taraamae is still in the game.

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

I'm screwed

 

[Sasquatch]

How the **** am I in second position after probably only guessing 1 correct?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

What a Stage! And it shows in the new Provisionals (after Stage 16). A real hard shake up:
Timmy Rabo starts one of his unbeliveable but famous combacks, Aarnold for the 1st time since forever is ranked better than 15th, Ferminal is not in the Top-8 for the 1st time since the invention of this game (but i am sure he´ll recover)...

18 (24) Sasquatch (1st)
18 (19) Sylvester (2nd)
17 Foxxy (3rd)
15 (25) Hartog (4th)
15 (22) Boomcie (5th)

14 Lancaster (7th)
13 (19) Amateur (8th)*

11 (22) Aarnold (13th)
11 (19) Armchair (14th)
10 Dlwssonic (15th)
9 Greenflame (16th)

* Amateur wins further tie breaking step against Timmy Rabo w/Off-Score of 20 (vs. 28)
** Hitch wins further tie breaking step against Aarnold w/9 Top-20´s (vs. 7)

 

[Ferminal]

Roche fell from my exact guess to 23rd or something

I am screwed, only have 8 top20s now, and none look like getting the right position. Need Alberto to win Galibier and Andy the Alpe

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Roche hurt me too. He´s done.
And my 17 look better than they are (Coppel at exact 20th gives me good points only for now).
Every day i regret to gave the hints of DeWeert, but same time not choosing him, only to have a french in the Top-20.

And my german view didn´t help either. Never ever go into betting games with any feelings. What a fail...

 

[Sasquatch]

I need to look at my top 20 again! Im baffled as to how im first.

 

[aarnold517]

I'm on the comeback trail! Just need a couple lucky stage winners and karpets to get back into the top 20 and i may just have a shot at sneaking by

 

[Cobblestoned]

I have 5 stagewins, put together in 10 minutes.
You all suck.

A conspiracy kept me out of competition.

 

[The Hitch]

Looks like Im not making it to the Vuelta.

Rats.

Yop, first we paid some guys to make you sooo much annoyed that you would loose your temper and get banned, then i asked yahoo to keep your mail back until kazistuta has sent his picks. Man this conspiracy was easy. I just wanted to be the only german in this competition.

Anyway, great picks... they are also on the stats page.

It's ok. I know you hate me.
Worst part was, that I had to contact a hater to make the (too late) connection.
I guess that was also part of the horrible plan.

Your fights for 2nd place can start now. 2nd is like a win.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

lol i still don't like my odds..

[Ferminal]

Armchair has picked Tony Martin for the ITT... make or break!

Andy won the wrong stage in the Alps Maybe he can go B2B...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Why not again Andy. I am there too...
Fantastic rides by Roche the last two days. But still he isn´t safe.

 

[Sasquatch]

Come on Contador.

 

[Sasquatch]

At least I know I'm through to the Vuelta. Coming first here will be massive though.

 

[Hartog]

Roche cracking way too early today. Another major GC shake-up today.

And now Evans with a mechanical?

[Armchair Cyclist]

How did I do that? 13th after stage 17, up to 8th after st 18 (first time I'd been above the dotted line), and then dropping to stone dead last in one stage!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

... having Casar riding into the Top-20 gave you 4 Pts (correct spot to 15th, and WC-Rider). One day later, out of top 20 again. 4 Pts gone again...

no that was someone else...

You lost Uran and Roche at the correct spot the same Day. Both were not to be seen in Alpe. Others got lucky that Vandevelde hit the Top-20.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]
