Tom,

 

You have given me a problem now haven't you ???? :-?

 

First off the easy one - you are not the only one to have missed the deadline for the team prediction so I'm affraid your score for this will be 0 points.

 

Secondly the overall - again you are not the only one to have missed the deadline and in previous races others have suffered a lack of points due to this. Only fair that your points for the overall will also be 0.

 

Points for ITT will be awarded in full as you have submitted them in time.

 

Hope this is seen by all to be fair.

 

Colin Hello, beer !!

Colin, I missed the posting about team classification as did many others. I thought to myself 'no problem' as you had made the quote below and I thought category would be deleted? I tried to find a smiley of someone spitting the dummy out the pram for this bit !!

 

Note: Team prediction added as a bonus points item so those who have already submitted choices without inclusion of team award please edit your posting (if people miss this message then category will be deleted)

 

All getting very serious now on the final few stages....................... Oh ya dancer !

Well that wasn't too hard......

 

We all sucked :rockets

 

For the first race this year no-one scored any points at all icon_bawling

 

Given the numbers that missed the team classification, and the fact that it was my boob in the first place the decision has been taken to scrap any points for this prediction (looks like I may be doing myself out of 10 points as well :cry: )

Bit late in updating the results for this one :roll:

 

Winner of the Eneco Tour Predictions Comp - Ramsay with 29 points (full marks for the GC Oh ya dancer !Oh ya dancer ! )

 

2nd Alan with 26

 

3rd Kenny with 19

 

This one has shaken up the table a wee bit however Richie remains out front and may have built an unbeatable lead if his form continues into the Vuelta :-P Duncan however has come into a rich vein of form and is chasing hard :oops:

 

So to the table then:

 

1st Richie 279 points

2nd Duncan 255 points (up 1 place)

3rd Paul 252 points (down 1 place)

4th Richard 241 points

5th Jann 235 points (up 1 place)

6th Me 232 points (down 1 place)

7th Ramsay 203 points (up 1 place)

8th Billy 196 points (down 1 place)

9th Alan 187 points (up 1 place)

10th Tom 168 points (down 1 place)

11th Greig 159 points

12th Kenny 155 points (up 1 place)

13th Davie 150 pints (down 1 place and seems to have climbed into the broom wagon :cry: )

 

Categories for the Vuelta which starts Saturday (I have double checked ;-) ) will be announced shortly.

Davie, only kidding.

 

Provisional start list in micrographic detail here http://www.lavuelta.com/11pr/es/noticia ... index.html#0

 

No Contador *, thank goodness, maximum :icon_mooning to him.

 

(*My legal advisors would like to point out that all doping allegations are completely unproven and that he is entitled to a fair trial, on the Moon.)

 

Who goes first?
