Just to let you know I haven't forgotten about the race of the falling leaves happening this Sunday.

It's the last biggy of the year, Il Lombardia, or whatever the hell it calls itself these days.

Provisional startlist:

Top 5 pickers on provisional standings send me your picks by DM*

*That would be Art, Omar Little (already picked), Pollys Bott, rozzer and FJS.

It's mighty close at the top of that leader board! :shock:

(How the frack did I get 73 points in the Tour de Suisse? I didn't even watch the thing.)

    It;'s all about the race for 7th place (in PTP) and I'm tempted to choose the ante post favourite. But I'm more adventurous than that, so I'll be back soon with a properly researched pick

    How about three in a row for Rodriguez.

    Have Astana bailed yet?

    Did me proud in the worlds, so I'll have him again (although maybe he's putting his feet up).

    Kwiatkowski please.

    Above the Cows - to honour the customs of PTP should the Top 5 pundits send their picks via DM?

    I think this is a lap of honour for me but the other positions are quite close:
    Top 5 punters
    Art Vandelay, Pollys Bott, Omar Little, Rozzer32 and FJS

    It certainly is preferable.

    As there's no battle for 23rd place or whether I am, he's my public pick

    As he's scored nearly all my wins this year, why change a winning formula? I might just pick him for every classic next year!

    Ah good reminder Art.

    Yes can the top 5 pickers send me their picks by DM. This is not a drill.

    And what do people consider a fair cut off time for picks? The race itself starts at 10.25 CET according to the organizers.
