Colin H Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Tom, I might be wrong but I don't think Evans is riding the Giro this year and is concentrating on the Tour. I will give you till 1500 today to change if you want. Also Ramsay has yet to submit his choices . Will give you till the start of the TTT on Eurosport to get your 1st day picks in and allow you till 1600 today for your overall choices big man Duncan is also in Ramsays category however is online as I type this so may well be submitting his picks.

2023 Subscriptions duncan thomson Posted May 7, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Having resisted the obvious picks of the Ardennes I am taking a Big Pharma approach. No more mr nice guy. No cheats too rotten. No scandals to avoid Shame I couldn't really choose Petacchi as I don't think he will get over the hills. Pantani would have been a shoe in.

Committee Alan McLean Posted May 7, 2011 Committee Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hi Colin It's 1510 on Saturday. Can I please update my points prediction?

Colin H Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Sorry Ramsay but can't really accept your picks for the TTT seeing as they were posted after the event was completed. Just would'nt be fair that (would have earned you 20 points as well ) Big scorers of the day were Alan M, Kenny C, Billy and Richie all with 18 points (and Gilbert did'nt even start ) So the overall following the opening stage of the Giro is as follows: 1st Richie 66 points 2nd Me 48 points 3rd Alan M 47 points 4th Davie B 46 points 5th Paul M 41 points 6th Kenny C 36 points 7th Billy M 34 points Joint 8th Richard, Duncan and Greig 32 points Joint 9th Tom and Jann 30 points 10th Ramsay 16 points Ride of the day had to Omega. Thought that would be the time to beat after they crossed the line. Remember predictions for the MTT will be required (can't remember what stage it is) and submissions to be posted by 23:59 the day before.

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted May 8, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Refereeing descision accepted without question (I'm not a footballer). However (in no way trying to sway any descision) I can assure you that I didn't know the results until David T told me on the way to the race this morning. If I did know, then I would have got it exactly right!! It's a long season thankfully! Oh yeah, before I'm late again - Contador for MTT, followed by Scarponi and Nabili.

Administrators Jannza Posted May 10, 2011 Administrators Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Can guesses be changed now that Lepoard Trek have withdrawn in respect of their team mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin H Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Jann, Given the tragic circumstances I don't think that should be a problem but with the following condition: Only substitutes for Leopard Trek riders (did anybody have any anyway???) or Tyler Farrar (some did have him) can be selected. All other original picks have to remain the same. Hope this is reasonable. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
