Tour 2012 Yellow Jersey Game

Here's a simple game to play during the tour: Name the holder of the Yellow Jersey at the end of each stage

Rules:
Every correct yellow jersey holder at the end of each stage gets one point. This will be the person who pulls on the jersey on the podium.
Everyone who enters must calculate their own score at the end of the tour and may then post their results below. Scores of the winners will be checked later
In the event of a tie, the bonus question will be considered - one point per right answer. If there is still a tie, then honours will be shared.
On the rest days we will look at who is leading the game (again self scored)
Closing time for entries is when the first rider goes down the ramp on the prologue
One entry per person, but you may edit your entry at any time up to the closing time

The tie-breaker question:
Name the final GC 1,2,3. One point per right answer (right person in the right place)

Fair enough, if a mod wants to move it.
I'd never even noticed that sub-forum. At first glance most of the entries posted there link to games run elsewhere

A very creative idea, but for example if it was run last year then very likely many people would have only got maximum two days right in all probability....

Still I would agree with your predictions even though I believe Valverde will have lost too much in the prologue to gain the yellow jersey on Planches Des Belles Filles and I cant see personally Sagan winning the prologue though it is a possibility..

Aghhmmm... You know there's a Games and what not forum section, right?

Option 1:
No you don't? Well ask the mods to move it there so your game playing forum members know about it.

Option 2:
Yes you did and added it here anyway. @#$*#*$*#@(*#($*#(*%()$#%)@#()$*(#

Nonetheless I can't really take on another TDF game, sorry:)

I feel i should have gone for an obvious pick like Sagan more and also could have picked a rider like Chavanel but oh well. For me it all hinges on Rolland smashing stage 7 then Evans taking the lead.
