Re:

I'm happy I got something today....tomorrow I have Nibbes.

He lost enough time to be allowed in the breakaway by now. Maybe you get lucky

Of course I'm hoping he pulls it off, but that would take a miracle. Whenever I can't win I just hope for doom on everyone else.

[l.Harm]

I'm confident to stay in the league. Danny boy is giving me half a point it seems! Happy with the pick.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

1/2 point when no one else but I.Harm & me scores... Good, that was very important

Standings after stage 11 are updated...

 

[l.Harm]

There have been changes in GC as well Foxxy (hint hint )

Haha no, I give you permission to wait after tomorrow's stage

 

[ILovecycling]

jeeez thats really close in Coppi, gratz to those who scored today!

 

[Flamin]

It's really starting to get very hot for me. Eshnar has an almost certain extra point with Quintana in 2nd. That means I'm just 0,5 point above elimination zone. Gonna be a tight battle

 

[Pricey_sky]

I was always going to follow my heart and pick Froome to win, however on my first draft list I had Quintana to finish 2nd and Contador 3rd. Im annoyed I changed my mind and swapped the 2nd-3rd around which looks like costing me another point, especially as a keen betting man my first piece of advice is never change your mind!!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I know, so here they come...

I thought I was doing better than being below the elimination line.

No, ofc not, you invented line-balling™... Thus you´ll forever stuck around there.

I guess I was wrong with that. See below...

[Sasquatch]

That's better

Just need Sepulveda to move into the top 20.

 

[Eshnar]

that doesn't look good does it...

 

[Flamin]

Wtf did happen +4 points in 1 stage? I guess I must have hit 1 or probably 2 on the right spot, so that doesn't mean anything with such a long way to go.

 

[ILovecycling]

WTF

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Re:

Talansky, Rolland, and DMartin coming back into the T-20 + 1 spot (DMartin). Thus a pretty solid foundation.
Unfortunately I can´t say this about me, having 3 on the spot for now. Pretty unsteady, since Contador and Fuglsang are unlikely to stay where they are.
OTOH, my T-20 kicks in, with no less than 15. If I only could do proper stage predictions.

T-20s:
16 (1 player, Walle)
15 (5 players)
14 (11)
13 (8)
12 (2)
11 (2, Arredondo, Kiilike)

That's better

Just need Sepulveda to move into the top 20.

That would be a steal and safe the deal, since no one else has him, but ofc he was on my very short list of 89 riders.

I see now. + Bardet in and Peraud out. I missed yesterday's stage so I had no idea so much had changed

But you have Quintana in 2nd, which is likely going to be another point. That means only -1. Looks good I'd say

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Re: Re:

The break needs 20 mins today to survive, otherwise Froome will score against me again. And, ofc, Contador is another stage pick to forget...

Funny thing is, the "dull" stage of yesterday had more influence than Froomes explode-the-forum-stage the other day.

Quintana to 2nd, yes, and TJVG to 4th, while AC wills his way to a Paris podium. The perfect solution.

 

[Wallenquist]

Wow, 16 riders correct in top20, checked the GC and it cant get any better (besides correct spots ofc) so all I need is Uran outside of top20 as many has him.

Also very good result for my friend Ruudz0r

 

[LosBrolin]

Re:

We're going to have a tough and exciting battle for the lanterna rouge in our division

 

[ILovecycling]

No points for me today, I wonder if someone has a pick from the BotD

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Standings after stage 12 already done...






ok, that was easy. No scorers today.
