The Great Grand-Tour-Game 2012

Foxxy, you have predicted JRod 4 times

Foxxy, you have predicted JRod 4 times

No. I have JRod three times, and the good ´ol Jackson Rodriguez who will win tomorrow from a break.

Oh, that's right. Sneaky.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

The "best" picks for Top-20 so far (don´t wanna offend somebody, but this has to be mentioned ):

194 Amets Txurruka +19:36
198 Miguel Minguez Ayala +24:39 (dead last, laterne rouge, mister irrelevant )

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Too bad, i picked the wrong "Androni Giocattoli rider".

P.S.: Another one bites the dust; Carrara said goodbye to the Top-20 (+ 21 mins today). Good that i picked him.

 

[jsem94]

I don't think anyone scored a point today, right?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

No one... only losing today some CG-Guys and sprinters (the mentioned Carrara, Serpa Perez, and DNF´s RFeillu, Farrar, Hushovd ).

 

[jsem94]

Farrar dropping out sucks for me...

 

[AntonioRossi]

I didn't pick farrar because he has not shown any promising results lately, but carrara is definitely a blow. Hope he can remain in the top 30 though

 

[macnir]

I have 1x Farrar and 1x Feillu to come... too baaaaaad. hope 2x cav in the middle of week 2 could bring me some vital points

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Farrar dropping out sucks for me...

I have 1x Farrar and 1x Feillu to come... too baaaaaad. hope 2x cav in the middle of week 2 could bring me some vital points

For me it´s Hushovd that hurts...

I didn't pick farrar because he has not shown any promising results lately, but carrara is definitely a blow. Hope he can remain in the top 30 though

Today the real massacre will start. Not the real favourits, but surely some more Top-20 pretenders will drop out of contention....

Carrara won´t even make top 30 when he already lost 21 mins on a non-mountain-stage. A dissapointment...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Today the first provisionals will be published.

That´s how it works:
Points gained in the stages so far + Points for the CG as they will stand after today.
Basically it means complete Point-Standings as if the Giro ended today. It will show a clear picture of who has good chances to survive & those who will have to suffer to make the cut.

 

[spalco]

Hah, my speculative pick of Pirazzi for today almost worked out, and my GC pick looked good. Nice stage for me.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

$hi..t, JRod 4th. Could have been 1/2 point...

 

[Ferminal]

Wheelsucked out of the full point

[AntonioRossi]

Nooo. Hope that tiralongo can put in a top 3 performance 5 stages from now. My pick of pozzovivo finished 6th

 

[AntonioRossi]

more bad news with meersman DNF. There goes my stage 13

 

[aarnold517]

Pozzo!!! Nailed it!

 

[jsem94]

Half a point. Meh.

 

[macnir]

Cav got knocked out every time I picked him!

 

[aarnold517]

I've picked bos, cav, and goss for three sprints and each time i picked them one of them crashed in the finish...plus i picked meersman and farrar for the next two stages and they're knocked out. If you're a sprinter, hope i don't pick you

 

[al_pacino]

At least it makes it easy for Foxxy to add the scores up

 

[boomcie]

I know what you mean. Same feeling here. Plus I played Ventoso on two other stages. Not my Giro yet.

 

[Froome19]

Yes!!!

After some hard luck with Cav and Rodriuguez+ breaks staying away.

I finally got one right again with Ventoso. I doubt many people picked him today.

Shame I have got Hushovd and Bennati for later stages, but then it seems like many people have made similar mistakes.
