The Great Grand-Tour-Game 2012

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I have updated everything on Post #1 (like who´s registered, who´s send picks already, how the divisions look for now, etc.).

 

[barmaher]

Thanks Foxxy Brown.

I am in.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Thanks Foxxy Brown.

I am in.

Hi , europe or world?

 

[Jakob747]

Thanks a lot for the invite Foxy. I have just submitted my team as well!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The giro is so wildly unpredictable I'll probably wind up dead last

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Ah no, i guess you are the favourite together with Ferminal. The insiders.

 

[Ferminal]

You should look at my stage picks before you say that!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Don´t need to. You are favourite by nature. Only crashfests can stop you.

 

[roundabout]

You should look at my stage picks before you say that!

Play it safe, pick someone regular ala Scarponi for mountain stages and big name sprinters for flat stages.

Of course, I didn't really follow my own advice.

Oh, I am in as well. Picks sent.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

pick rujano for every stage /ryo

 

[The Hitch]

So we pick 1 rider per stage + 20 for gc. Anything else?

No that´s all. Same as last year (only the scoring differs a little).

Is there the 3 picks per rider limit rule?

 

[spalco]

I'm in.

I hope I'll get around to making my predictions tomorrow, otherwise, I'll have to hurry on saturday morning.

Swift out for Sky - hampering their TTT chances.

It's started already.....

My profuse apologies to all those poor unfortunates that I picked - months and months of training and I, on a mere whim, put them in a fantasy team and doom them to failure - makes your heart bleed.....

 

[Froome19]

Yeh it says so on the first page.

We need to pick a TTT team?

I doubt I ve doomed my picks to a bad Giro because that would leave Kreuziger as the only contender for GC

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Is there the 3 picks per rider limit rule?

Yes. That hasn´t changed...

I'm in.

Ok, hope you´ll make it...

... and there will be more. We all know that from the last TdF.

Yes stage 4 only the team has to be picked...

 

[jsem94]

Sent my picks now.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Have received them. The entree page is updated again...

 

[aarnold517]

So given that my final exam of the semester is tomorrow naturally i'm doing anything i can to waste time and not study. Just went back and looked through all of last year's thread and i forgot how much fun it was to root for a guy to get to 18th place on GC

 

[Eric8-A]

I want to edit my top 20. Is that OK?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

If you don´t shuffle it all around, it´s ok. Some injuries?

Imagine, i am shifting, and still refuse to do all that work (like painting the house, packing, etc.). So i absolutely understand you.

Yeah, i loved it too. My guy was Tiralongo (in-out-in). He saved me. Never had a thrilling Giro like last year.

Yes, I try something like that, but it means I picked Pozzato and Purito x3

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

The good ´ol "i just wanna make the cut thinking". Anyway, i try the same. OTOH, i need one sleeper/secret (like Tiralongo last year). I might have found him.
