PTP Warm Up - TDU

rozzer32

Hello everyone.

I don't know about everyone here but I'm missing the Pro Tour Pundit. So I thought why not have a bit of a warm up for the proper season with the Tour Down Under? This will be purely for fun and in no way count towards the scores for this year. Just a bit of fun and give any neo pros a chance to have a go and see how it works.

Please see the sticky at the top for the PTP rules and scoring system.

First stage is on Tuesday the 17th.

TDU Website: http://www.tourdownunder.com.au/#

Start list: http://www.cyclingfever.com/editie.html?detp=view&_ap=startlijst&editie_idd=MjI4OTg=

Previous winners

2005 Luis León Sánchez (ESP)
2006 Simon Gerrans (AUS)
2007 Martin Elmiger (SUI)
2008 André Greipel (GER)
2009 Allan Davis (AUS)
2010 André Greipel (GER)
2011 Cameron Meyer (AUS)

Again this won't count towards this seasons scores

Good luck people.

P.S hope you don't mind me doing this afx.

Just so I'm strait. Does the TDU Classic count as Stage 1?:P

You want to be careful about burn out at the end of the Classics if you're starting the season in January.
Expect Rick Chasey to come out for the Tour of Qatar, it's better preparation for Het Volk

My debut year at PTP. So nice to have a warm up.

GC. Cameron Meyer

S1. Mark Renshaw.

The start time for most stages is 11am Australian time. They are 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of us here in the UK. So the cut off for the stages will be 12pm (Midnight). So for tomorrows first stage you must have posted your pick in the thread by midnight and the same of Wednesdays stage and Thursdays etc etc.

Hope this is clear, I know it can get confusing with the time difference.
