The Great Grand-Tour-Game 2012

[The Hitch]

At least Chicchi showed up today. I have Guardini later, but he´s not seen anywhere.

For what stage do you have Guardini?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Stage 18...

 

[Froome19]

At least Chicchi showed up today. I have Guardini later, but he´s not seen anywhere.

Yeh I picked Hushovd and Bennatti for stages 16 and 18 and they have been seen anywhere lately either

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Hushovd i have too. Don´t even count him anymore since he left. But Guardini finishes every day around 180th . He´d better give up too. So i don´t have wrong hopes of him...

 

[Sylvester]

Impressive pick by Jens today, by the way.

 

[Hartog]

Hats off to Foxxy extending his lead with Casar today. Close call for the stage victory record, but half a point with the new rule is a good reward. Sylvester got him too.

And DominicDecoco had Lars Bak... yesterday. Ouch.

Hats off to Foxxy extending his lead with Moncoutie today. Close call for the stage victory record, but half a point with the new rule is a good reward. Sylvester got him too.

And DominicDecoco had Lars Bak... yesterday. Ouch.

That would be Casar.

 

[Hartog]

Indeed, I mix the two up sometimes.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Should i cry or laugh?

Great pick again, but missed the record...

 

[al_pacino]

Should i cry or laugh?

Great pick again, but missed the record...

Don't know but this game does seem designed for cruel near misses

 

[DominicDecoco]

and dominicdecoco had lars bak... Yesterday. Ouch.

If you miss the record this'll be very painful. But with nine stages to go I think you'll still get it. And we can't have you score too many stages, so we can hope to take the record in Le Tour.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Pozzovivo seems to be in form, so he might bring me the record...

Congrats to Sylvester. Him & me were the only scorers today. That makes it even more worth. Every half point is needed.

 

[Kazistuta]

Well, my picks have been going from nearly perfect to rotten, but at least now I can say I spent my 3*Cav picks wisely

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

@ Kazistuta; Great job, going 3 for 3 on Cavendish. 100% perfect...

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Cmon Rujano, don't fail me now

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Tomorrow the "masacre" starts (unless FSchleck tries to ride backwards again like he did in last years early TdF mountain stages).

BTW, i have Rujano too. We´ll see how he is...

 

[gerundium]

Well, my picks have been going from nearly perfect to rotten, but at least now I can say I spent my 3*Cav picks wisely

High five!

@ Kazistuta; Great job, going 3 for 3 on Cavendish. 100% perfect...

me too!

I have cunego for tomorrow, but somehow i have the feeling that isn't really going to net me any points. Pozzovivo looks to be in killer form so if i had to guess now i would probably go with him.

 

[The Hitch]

Total fluke that cav crashed out of the stages i didn't pick him for and didn't for the ones i did but 3 out of 3 here too.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Congrats to all those going 3 for 3. I just made it 2 out of 3. Hope to improve at the TdF...

 

[Ruudz0r]

wow im doing pretty terrible, only got 1 points from all the sprint stages we had (+1.5 points from the rest of the stages). Had some bad picks aswell like SKY for the TTT and Meersman for the stage were JRod won (just saw the profile didnt know it was that steep ). But my GC still looks okay so hopefully I can step it up in the final week and make the cut.

Havent peaked yet for the Giro need to be in topshape for the Vuelta (if I can reach it )

Great work btw FoxxyBrown with the fast updates!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

My hopes for reaching TDF are gone. Rujano not as good as last year. Oh well, you win some you lose some

 

[AntonioRossi]

so Frank quit the giro. I am assuming everyone has him for the top 20 gc

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

You have the overview of top 20 picks in post #1.... only 39 have him in the top 20, the other 5 might LOL now.
