    Thanks a lot Bronzie. Hopefully everyone makes it across from the old forum. As someone who never went to any other part of the old site apart from the Race forum, it took me a while to figure out why the entire forum was locked...

    Well Done Bronzie - I was thinking of doing the same when I got home this evening if the old one hadn't transferred. So you have saved me the trouble - have a "virtual" pint on me :D

    I'm one of those unfortunates to have my user name mangled - and not even with the cp suffix despite having been a member of that forum for a lot longer than the eerie wasteland that was the procycling one!

    However, as current leader of the PTP I feel I have to try and maintain my position. So, drum roll, for my picks;

    Overall: Carlos Sastre (I can't bring myself to pick Vino)
    Prologue: David Millar

    Who keeps check of the points/scores? Do we get to see who's in the lead, who's last, etc, after each stage?

    This is paining me to do, but I've decided to separate who I want to win with who I think will win, so here goes:

    Prologue: Fabian Cancellara
    Stage 1: Mark Cavendish

    Overall: Andreas Klöden (hence the sig)

    I'd rather the GC winner was someone fresh-faced, untainted by association with previous dopers, and with a good attitude to clean racing but I also want the PTP points! :roll:

    I think the winner will be from Team Borat, but not Vino as in the Tour he's been prone to attacking one day and flaking out the next.

    For fun I'm saying Zabel for Green, and Moreau for Spotty. Coupla old boys for you!

    I think AFX237VI is the boss man as far as Pro Tour Pundit goes - see the sticky thread at the top of the Race section with scores to date (NB PTP is a season long competition, so you've left it late to join now, but it's all good fun anyway!!)
