PTP - Giro d'Italia
Woohoo! Il Grande Giro! I'm stupidly excited by this year's race.
If you're a bit behind on this year's PTP, don't worry, grand tours offer more points than regular season races. Check the first page of the sticky thread for full details, but you get 85 points for picking the overall winner, and 10 points per day for stage winners. Stage points also go down to 8th, rather than 6th.

The race begins on Saturday with a TTT. Live on Eurosport each day.
Overall picks must be posted before the race starts.
Good luck, have fun, and let's hope it's a good race.

Mind if I do it in sections between the rest days? Don't like doing it on a day to day basis, more fun just do look at the stage profiles and spray and pray
