    Big congrats to Art Vandelay!! Omar Little and Pollys Bott taking joint second and myself in third.

    Big thanks to all those who played and an even bigger thanks to those who helped run PTP this year. Bring on 2015!!

    I don't really play as I don't have the stamina for the GTs, but could I suggest that someone who is a dab hand at spreadsheets runs off some categorised winners? E.g. "King of the Classics", "Top Tester", "KOM", "Sprint jersey", "Stage race champion", "Top Flandrian" etc. based on however they fancy categorising races and stages?

    Who has the specialised knowledge in one of these niches to take the relevant trophy?

    Firstly - thanks to rozzer32 and his team for this year's PTP.

    Having a bit of spare time I've calculated this year's grand tour winner as NervexProf.

    1 NervexProf ; 508
    2 Hommelbier ; 452
    3 Pollys Bott ; 451
    4 rozzer32 ; 446
    5 dialatron ; 440
    6 archieboy ; 434
    7 FJS ; 431
    8 Key ; 431
    9 Art Vandelay ; 430
    10 thomasmc ; 424

    Hopefully I might find time later for calculating winners of the Flanders and Ardennes spring classics.

    Thanks all involved in organising

    Congratulations Art! Am I wrong in believing this is the first time someone's won PTP for the second time? That'd make Art a Coppi/Fignon double winner, compared with us Perreiro/Walkowiak/Aimar mere single winners

    Thanks for this work hommelbier - consolation for my lowly overall position.

    Wow. Have one on me!

    Thanks and congratulations all round. I'm pretty pleased to have snuck into the top 20. See you in February.

    Thanks to everyone who ran it.
    Happy with my first season, but room for improvement next year.

    Congrats Art

    And thank you to the PTP team this year for keeping it going. It's been very well run! Much appreciate all your effort.

    Big thanks to everyone who helped organise PTP this year and congratulations to Art. The first two-time PTP winner?

    My season went rapidly down hill after J Rod pulled out of the Giro. Next year I am going to absolutely nail it though. :P

    Hopefully next year when the toots are a year older i'll have a bit more time to give the PTP a bit more effort. At least I got 5 '0's - well above yellow perils countless dashes.
    Chapeau to the guys that run this thankless and fun part of pro race. Me thinks that some of the top protagonists should apply to be Directuer Sportifs.

    See you next season.
    Have a good winter.
