    Can I change from Pinotti to Wiggins for Stage 21 ? Thanks.

    (think Pinotti put in too much effort today)

    You'll get 85 points for Menchov's overall, those who have more points than you couldn't win even if they picked Di Luca for overall.

    Menchov ain't won yet. He could fall off tomorrow... super technical, twisty route, slippery city centre roads, bit of rain... you never know.

    Or he could be Humanplasmaed overnight, and end up like Pantani in '99 :lol:

    I shall temper my celebrations and pray he has not been taking TT lessons from the Chicken (or indeed any other lessons from the Chicken!)

    Stage 21 : Wiggins

    I'm hoping that pizza Levi had last night slows him down
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Well done everyone, we made it to the end of another grand tour... give yourself a pat on the back and a sip of champagne. However... it wasn't even close in the end, Noodley mullered us all!

    Only one of 3 people to have faith in the Mench, Noodley's winning margin was a whopping 25 points. Everyone was playing it safe with either Levi or Basso and he nipped up the road when no-one was looking and took an impressive win. Chapeau.

    My first go at it and I fear I'm hooked. More than my fair share of beginner's luck there. Thanks a lot AFX, really appreciated.

    Thanks for the hard work afx

    If only I had been sensible and picked someone other than Cunego for the GC (he's never getting the same treatment again, I can tell you!)
    Bring back the original C4 Tour theme tune !

    My thoughts exactly! Took a battering on the GC points, and refusing to pick Cav when he was conqeuring was, in hindsight, a mistake.

    Thanks for the effort afx, your technical wizardry knows no bounds!
