Degenkolb... a man you can count on. :) He scored 3 of 3 for me. I am very pleased with him (other than for example Sagan in both the TdF & Vuelta).

Yup he is dependable, I had him for two of three, where he missed out I think he had fourth...

Anyway glad Matthews came through for podium as Quintana and Uran not gonna do that in the next few stages.. Anyway my top 20 is quite poor... Hoping for Valverde to drop two places to move Froome and JRod to the 'right' spots!

Yes, a lot of us (including me) cheer for Froome now (who would have thought; ROFL) to drop Valv.

I'm also changing Sagan to Degenkolb from this on :p

Degenkolb 1/2

Sagan 0.5/6

LOL. I guess 0.5/6 must be around the same for me.

Just a 2 point gap! To quote Tracy Jordan, "this just got awesome!" :D

But dammit Geraint, why do you have to be so good at predicting things! :mad: ;)

Gesink out of the Vuelta. Family before racing....hope all is well with his wife.

WTF :mad: That was a great pick by 29 of us. He won´t make it to my $hit list, but but... what does a (well payed) pilot or a submarine captain do? I mean they are leaders. People work for them. It´s a highly doubtful decision. He let his teamates down... and OFC us pickers. ;)
Good luck to his wife either way.

After it got awesome, there comes the downer. Let´s see how the standings are without Gesink...

Provisional Rankings after Stage 17 without Gesink

Some are fu..ked pretty hard (Eshnar of all, a true vet, for example), others got away with it because gaining spot points...
Have a look yourself how the shocking abandon of Gesink influenced the standings.

Let´s take it with gallows humor: One more contender dropping out, and Arroyo will finally arrive. I wait for him since ages to get in. ;)

Saw the Gesink news just minutes after posting that. :eek: :(

But I will hold faith in my picks! Go Yates, Anacona, and Malori (yes,I realize how unlikely it is any of those guys will take a win :eek:).

Yeah it´s good to still have some riders going, no matter how slim their chance to prevail in the remaining stages.
I am also ok, just one "dead horse" for stage 21. Others are worse off...

Gorramit, I was above the dreaded relegation line for all of 4 hours :mad:

And backing a breakaway today, this might end badly

Sorry... but I had a laugh just thinking what Tigerion might think, being some hours out of elimination for the first time since long, just to get kicked back in.
