The Great Grand-Tour-Game 2012

[Froome19]

Im in too, a great game i only just became aware of!
I will try and put together a team for the giro soon because there is anyway only one rider who I can see winning all the stages (TGTS)
Im in the european division btw if it is applicable (and if you count britain as Europe)

@ all:

It´s still plenty of spots open to sign in (24 of 64 have signed in by now). So welcome everybody.

I would very much like to play.

Just to confirm, though, players have to PM you 48 hours before the start of the Giro with their complete predictions for each stage and the top 20 GC right? i.e. forty one names (some of which may, of course, be duplicated).

Oh, I'm in the Europe division if that still applies.

Yes complete 41 predictions. It´s hard, but not too much. Just don´t start too late.

Yeah i still count britain as europe.
And pls keep in mind that max 3 stage wins for one rider can be predicted...

24 Days left until take off. Hope some more players join for the game.

 

[al_pacino]

I'll give this a bash.

I'm in England but I can pretend to be Mexican if the divisions thing is still happening.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

... can pretend to be Mexican ...

LOL. Yes if needed i´ll make you the lone mexican player here.

 

[Eric8-A]

I'm in. Hopefully I get past the Giro this time.

Didn't realise we're so close to Il Giro already. Good stuff.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Ahhhhhhh, this is going to be way more of a time sink than I can ill afford.

Count me in.

BTW, for this you should be allowed to resurrect your former avatar. I release you from the remainder of that bet. Unless there is another your avatar is bound to. McMahon is way cooler anyway.

Yeah, it´s like x-mas every year. It comes as a surprise.

No it was only the bet we made. May my "wrong" avatar prevented players from last year to register already.

Now all is back to normal.

 

[Vitapen]

I'm in. It's going to be fun.

 

[Netserk]

I'm in as well (EU) I'll look forward to kick some BeNeLux a$$!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I'm in. It's going to be fun.

Have registered you! ...
At the "World Div." for now.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

10 Days until the Deadline for sending picks...
Plenty of Spots still open too.

 

[just some guy]

Foxy I am not going to have time to play

Just thought I would let you know if it fills up you can have an extra spot

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lots of my guys did well in the Romandie tt. But they won't hold on to a good placement of course. Also Bardet 5th in Turkey atm. I hope he manages to stay top 10.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Many startlists are out now.

Link: http://www.cyclingstartlists.com/

So people can start to send picks, or at least start to think about them.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

P.S.: Follow the second link on the site, and then go to "Giro"...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

The Giro starts at 15.40 CET on 5th of May.

So the deadline to send picks is Thursday, May, 3rd at 15.40 CET.
East coast (New York) USA would be then May 3rd, 9.40 AM for example.

Until then sign-ins for the game are still possible. That´s 8 days left...
Time runs faster then tought.

 

[jsem94]

Sign me up. I'll send in my team a bit later.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Time I start making my selection I think.

 

[Ferminal]

It took me about a week last year so I better get started. Can probably work out the stage winners at least.

 

[Eric8-A]

I have to start brainstorming my team.

 

[Ferminal]

Top20 is actually harder than you think. There are only a few who can win it, but you can probably pick 30 different ones for the 5-20 spots.

 

[vladimir]

Is there any preferred format for the entry like in the CQ game?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Sign me up. I'll send in my team a bit later.

Signed into europe division...

Is there any preferred format for the entry like in the CQ game?

No. Just PM with Top-20 and stage winners. But take care of brothers or same names. Example Jackson Rodriguez and Joaquin Rodriguez.
