    Not that its going to shoot me up the leaderboard, but I didn't get any points for picking Valverde for the Pais Vasco GC. :cry:


    Probably because you made that pick after the end of stage 1. Deadline is BEFORE the start of stage 1.

    Yeah, sorry, but stage 1 was already fairly selective in terms of deciding the GC. Too late by then.

    Not much change after AGR, although thomasmc gets knocked off the podium and drops way down to 14th. Gilbert was a popular choice for the win.

    This is what's so good about PTP, different people make up points on different kinds of races. And then there's me, consistently poor throughout :D

    I'm away for the weekend. Any chance of an early pick for L-B-L? I'll have Valverde. Cheers.

    Cumulonimbus won't be at the top for long. I'm sure something will cloud his judgment in the coming races.

    ...although I did chuckle when Ash_ correctly picked the winner of Amstel Gold.

    I didn't have insider information, honest.

    But I was rather pleased to see something prevent Valverde from winning Amstel - seeing as the UCI won't ban him...

    I may have missing an anouncement. Is it now double points for unique picks? I hope so.

    No... it would be a bit unfair to change the scoring rules halfway through the season.

    That's 'cos we don't know where you were 'preparing'. Did you follow FJS to St Moritz?

    Looking forward to the Giro, I think I'll develop a policy of picking the obvious pick everyday and seeing how far it gets me.

    Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
