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

[Geraint Too Fast]

I've got more stage points from 8 days of the Vuelta, than I got from the entire TdF.

 

[kingjr]

... or he may lost too much power when closing the gap. I think I saw him pulling up front a few times.

Oh ok. I didn't watch the stage, I came home just in time to watch the replay of the sprint.

will there be an update tonight?

Yes sure. In about two hours. My drinking bout days are behind me (for a while; still recovering from earlier this week )

LOL @ Sagan: Now, when nobody picked him he spoiled the party for the 10 players who picked Degenkolb, who finished 4th behind Sagan.
I guess the Sagan "haters" group grows a little more.

Sagan might work for me. His team said that he will go for a stage in the 2nd maybe 3rd week. I have him for a stage win in the 3rd week. fingers crossed....

You shall stop winning now. You are killing the competition. No one is allowed to have 30 points scored.

Sagan might work for me. His team said that he will go for a stage in the 2nd maybe 3rd week. I have him for a stage win in the 3rd week. fingers crossed....

Lucky you... But I am ok with that. Sagan is forgotten already. 3 wasted picks behind me...

Provisional Rankings after Stage 8

Explanation of the provisionals are in post #1, as the links to them are too.

Division Bartali is by far the strongest. All players would easily qualify in any other group. And it has the tightest race. Any player could win the division or being directly eliminated. Sasquatch is the best example. He leads the division in points scored, but is dead last in the provisionals. A first in the 4 years history of TGGTG.

I thinks its actually a slight bummer that the Bartali group is so close together. This means I could easily slip in to last!

[Vino attacks everyone]

this is going horribly. Gamled on Bouhanni not doing well and got Boonen on a couple of stages... Onlything semi going for me is that i put AC on 1. in gc, and it seems to be a possibility for this.

 

[diggercuz]

Ah the death group. Well at least you know that if you get through group B then you deserve it!

Was thinking that im not doing to bad, got 5 top threes in a row and followed it up with 3 top fives... however no scores for the top fives which could be quite handy in the end! especially as i am two points from relegation!

Anyway Geraint too Fast is smashing it out of the park! Well done sir...

Now tonight gonna hope for some Quintana winnings... but looking at the profile again i fear that while he will be there, its not quite a finish thats suits him being too flat and all that jazz... Oh well. Can only hope!

 

[Pricey_sky]

Unbelievable how close Group B is, as it stands 2 people could be eliminated with points that could have got them a top 4 finish in 2 of the other 3 groups!

Great pick again. It might save you... Two times going with the outside chance GT winner... and may get trou with it... I am impressed.

Contador fooled 40 of us, but not the magnificent 5 who picked him 1st.

And OFC, we´ll have another re-shuffle in the provisionals.

... and you shall not have picked Arredondo as replacement for Horner by heart. Then it would have been perfect-perfect.

I see dc and wc! in my group,thats a competition

I explained it in the linked rankings. Have a look there. Don´t be lazy again
... or guess.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

I think it will be only 0.5p but still better than Canc

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

The final score today: 43-2 blowout win for TMartin pickers over the Canc ones.
Lot of tipping today since all 45 scored...

True... He shouldn´t hack away on him in the RR thread.
