The Great Grand-Tour-Game 2014/15 "TdF Monster Edition"

[ILovecycling]

It´s approaching 19.00 GMT now. The TdF is taking off in less than 72 hours...
IOW; Time is running out.
As usual the stress sets in, half of the field is being lazy , doing things at the last second (including me OFC ).
Thus I prolong the deadline for sending picks to Thursday evening 23.00 GMT. That´s approx. 28 hours from now.
Good luck in picking the right choices. My "short list" for contenders is 53 riders for the T-20. Will be a long night as usual, to cut them down to 20... and I have not even thought about the stage winners.

ohhh and I thought my 34member list for top20 is too long lol

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

With "only" 34 you certainly missed some real sleepers...

 

[the sceptic]

lol damn it. I just picked the first 20 that came to mind basically. Hope I didnt forget anyone major.

[the sceptic]

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Major blunder...

Foxxy,

Didn't you bung an asterisk next to players' names when you'd got their list last time? The PM system on this site is.........

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I think I bolded them... But I have to save time now, very busy

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

We will have 4 Divisions. The first announcement will be the names. Here they are:

Division Anquetil
Division Bartali
Division Coppi
Division Defraeye

... the draw will follow after I received all picks, and if I can finally decide whom to leave out of my T-20. In the end I might roll a dice.
