I will try give it a go. Thanks heeps.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

OK, welcome back ...

Submitted. Thanks again!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Ok super effort...

Now the draw 2nd round night/evening session starts.
As said earlier today, the first pick will go to Group Defraeye...

[FoxxyBrown1111]

[FoxxyBrown1111]

next two rounds;
Anquetil; rainman - Gotland
Bartali; Armchair cycl. - minessa

[FoxxyBrown1111]

[the sceptic]

safe to say that group D is the group of death

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

... and now the last 4 draws;

Anquetil; Wallenquist
Bartali; Josedin
Coppi; Arredondo
Defraeye; The Asian being the last drawn to a group, let´s see if he can finish first

That was the division draws. Now the games can begin.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

safe to say that group D is the group of death

Yeah, with Dekker and Sceptic in, that might be.

 

[greenedge]

Group Coppi seems hard

Thanks again, though i'm kicking myself for forgetting about a certain rider in the top 20- and it's not Horner

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Ahh Group Coppi is easy

 

[Kazistuta]

With a former winner and the best placed participant from last edition, Division Bartali seems like the one to set the tone

 

[mortand]

What Kazistuta said!

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Tigerion and 18-Valve do also join (picks were in over night). They had reasons for being late. Also jsem. I´ll do a supplemental draw for them.

Overall great picks. Just some minor issues like picking 4 stages per rider by some that must be still corrected.

The Matthews issue is still not solved. Is he riding or not? People who have picked him, can replace their picks if they want (just leave a PM then), or take the risk of believing he´will ride.

Thus all players picks won´t be online before/inside Saturdays 1st stage.
I apologize that upfront.

I can´t post too much today, because of the "GER-FRA issue" . So don´t worry...

Cheers to ya all.

 

[jaylew]

Matthews officially out

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Back to the living. In circa 2 hours all picks will be online. A lot of copying to do.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

[FoxxyBrown1111]

... and finally the supplemental draw for the late picks send (with reason)

first the groups;
Division C will have an additional player... and... Division B will have one more player.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

the players:
Group Coppi... 18-Valve
thus to Group Bartali; Tigerion

 

[Eshnar]

fingers crossed for Sagan today.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Yes sure Sagan. I need too.

 

[Hugo87]

Thanks for all the work, I don't have many expectations for this game, because I was shortage of time when I took my picks, but this will be fun.

 

[Eshnar]

Damn. My Cav picks look already blown away. Otoh, it must be the same for pretty much everybody.
