Some interesting picks for sure, but most players try to play it safe, I guess. I considered most of the top 20 picks. No people claiming Kash will win the Vuelta :D

On another note: 4 of last year's 8 finalists made it to this year's Vuelta: Hartog, Foxxy, boomcie and Sylvester.

Not bad, a 50% conversion rate. But i have to admit, i only made directly to the finals, b/c barmaher didn´t send picks, and the 1st replacement FF Wilco was a little late replying...

That´s true (about playing it safe mostly). But i took some risks. Do or die with Froome. If he wins, i have a good chance... I didn´t know what to do with all the colombians so i put them in a row (15,-16,-17th), looks more beautiful. ;)
Talansky over Le Mevel is another one. B/C Le Mevel looked good lately. And picking Quintana over the veterans like Valverde & Menchov...
Anyway, i am satisfied with my T-20. The best ever i did... so now let´s finish last. :eek:

Degenkolb´s sprint heads up 2012 (only when he finished in T-5, so that might be a little biased):
vs Bouhanni 4-0
vs Koldo 1-0
vs Viviani 0-1
vs Rojas 1-1
vs Davis 2-1
vs Bennati 3-0
vs Swift 1-1
total; 12-4

Swift:
vs Bouhanni 0-1
vs Viviani 3-0
vs Rojas 1-0
vs Davis 3-0
vs Breschel 2-1
vs Bennati 3-0
vs Degenkolb 1-1
total; 13-3

Bouhanni:
vs Davis 4-0
vs Breschel 1-2
vs Swift 1-0
vs Degenkolb 0-4
total; 6-6

So i picked Bouhanni twice. Logic! :rolleyes:

Oh man, I hope Rojas gets up on Stage 2. :D

Lol at having De Weert as a unique, he'll falter now. Looks like most played it safe on the GC, last 10 spots will be critical

So I'm the only one with Tom Dumoulin, Valls and De la Fuente in the top 20. Guess I'll either look stupid or brilliant.

At least Quintana many have. The big blunder was that we go with Bouhanni. Why didn´t i trust my stats? :rolleyes:
He´s no chance vs. Degenkolb & Swift...

Edit: So, i´ll do the provisionals now. May at least there, you don´t have laterne rouge. ;)
