You're doing an AMAZING job with this.

Feels good to be up there in the provisionals. But really, it's just about making the cut.

I need a miracle cmon José

Thanks a lot.

I need a miracle cmon José

Yeah, maybe true. You "lost" already Carrara (as i do), Frank and somewhat Sella (he might comeback with a great ride in the mountains) for the chance to finish inside the Top-20/30.

OTOH, that´s just 3 riders. Everything still wide open. Nothing to real worry for now.

Going great Foxxy! Keep it up.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

You do well in the provisionals boomcie. Looks pretty safe for now. Seems you don´t need stage winners () by compiling a great Top-20. All your riders (except Carrara) have a chance to finish in the Top-20/30.

 

[Jakob747]

Thanks a lot for all the time and effort you put into this Foxxy!

Great game. Now I have even more sentiment to follow Gianluca Brambilla and Benat Intxausti ect. ect. quest for a solid place on final GC.

Kudos!

 

[DominicDecoco]

So... Goss for tommorrow. Points in the bag...

What the hell was I thinking?

Yes. It´s cool to root for guys not being in the headlines. A whole new experience of watching grand tours.

So... Goss for tommorrow. Points in the bag...

What the hell was I thinking?

Indeed. A brilliant pick...

Yo JRod. 6th stage win, 1 to go to tie the record.

Funny how quick things change on the provisionals. I was in the hot seat with a wild card spot before this stage and now i´m pretty far up in the safe zone.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

It happens a lot on MTF-Stages. (Almost) nobody is save until the last stage. Some crazy comebacks and turnarounds happened last year too. It´s thrilling.

 

[Vitapen]

It's funny that I've got 1 point on this stage, but in provisional rankings I was dropped to Wild Card zone.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

May you lost some guys on the Top-20, or guys you had on the right spot moved a place or two. Many possibilities. For example i lost Bakelants today, but still gained somewhere else...

 

[cycladianpirate]

Well, there's one thing that this game has taught me.

I know sod all about pro cycling!!!

Foxxie - thanks for waking me up

 

[Sylvester]

I picked Bennati for the last TT; I won't repeat my miracle of last year, when Millar winning the TT made me advance to the Tour.

And Pozzato for tomorrow. Bad luck there.

At least J-Rod got me a full point today, and most of my top-20 picks still look fine (notwithstanding Serpa, Dupont, Ulissi).

Wait and see, I guess.

 

[jsem94]

I've got Hushovd tomorrow and Farrar stage 13. Yay.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Pozzato here too.

 

[macnir]

Cav earned me NOTHING for 3 picks.well well....

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

"jens_attacks" as lonesome scorer today. That enabled him to leave laterne rouge in the europe division. Important for him to possibly make a comeback...

I am surprised no one picked Chicchi.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

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