Pro Tour Pundit 2015
Consider this the official thread for Pro Tour Pundit 2015, the 10th edition of Bikeradar's season-long prediction game.
How to Play
Playing along with PTP is extremely simple - you don't have to sign up or join anything other than the Bikeradar forums. If you're already a member here, that means you're already eligible to play.
A few days before each of the chosen races, a PTP thread will be started in the Pro Race forum. That thread will contain a selection of useful links - start lists, race maps, past winners and so on. All you have to do is consider who you think is likely to win and post their name in that thread. It's that simple. If the race in question is a stage-race, you also get to predict the daily stage winners.
As you play, your scores will be added up and the overall season rankings will be updated in this thread.

Points System
Doping
Points are finalised once the race organisations publishes their results. No adjustments will be made if it later emerges that a rider has failed a drugs test or if a rider has wins retrospectively removed from his palmares.
Prediction Cut-off
The cut off is 12pm (noon) on the day of the race. This is strict so predictions at 12.01 won't be counted (exceptions made for split-stages, evening prologues etc). No GC selections will be accepted once a stage-race has begun.
Anyway good luck to everyone

As there is no official thread yet and as I'm off to Flanders tonight I will put my pick here.
I want it to be my man Gerald and I think it might be my man Styby, but I'm going to pluck for Sep Vanmarcke to break his duck. To be clear:
RVV - Sep Vanmarcke

Hi Rozzer,
I noticed you were still chasing the Tour of Yorkshire scores, so I took it upon myself to collate them myself

smjclean is down to do it. I've PM'd him to remind him but I'm still waiting on the nationals scores from him too. I know he was busy with work and he's not read my latest PM so I'll honestly say I don't know at the minute.***** Pro Tour Pundit Champion 2020, 2018, 2017 & 2011 *****0 -
We're getting near the end of the season now and the overall scores haven't been updated since the Tour de France. Someone needs to do it. (I realise I haven't done a lick of work myself, so I can't criticise)
However, as I'm in contention for the overall prize (some may remember the year when there actually was a prize), I have taken the liberty of totting up most scores myself. By my unofficial calculations the current top eleven are:
1. 1245 Shocked so Shocked
2. 1233 Stanislav
3. 1213 RichN95
4. 1200 TakeTheHigh Road
5. 1153 Rozzer32
6. 1145 Tforonda
7. 1113 Bluemoon17
8. 1103 Omar Little
9. 1095 Dish_dash
10. 1073 Ron B
11. 1048 Alanp23
It needs updating as for the final race anyone who is in contention for the win uses personal messaging to tell the boss who they have picked (to prevent wheelsucking)Twitter: @RichN950 -
I'll be updating the GC tomorrow as I have the day off work so finally got a bit of free time.***** Pro Tour Pundit Champion 2020, 2018, 2017 & 2011 *****0

First year I've been in with a shout. Will have to do some reading up on the Women's Time Trial ahead of the WC.
Also, I haven't done a lick of work either, maybe that's the recipe for success in this game, eh Rich?0
