    Adam Blythe!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :shock:

    The irony of BR Forum's most eminent post-colonialist feminist thinker getting Britain's most unreconstructed wide-boy is very, very close to FF getting Debucheryeyerechers.

    I did have to laugh. It could be worse, I could have got Sagan. :x


    I got Sagan..........

    then forgot about the sweepstake so wasn't cheering him on :oops:

    Maybe that's why he didn't win?!

    TEAM ROOMPOT (ROO) 211 DE VRIES Berden

    .....................

    By the time I started watching with about 75km to go he was no where to be seen. Of course that means my man must have been taking some monster pulls of the front during the earlier part of the race. Good show!

    I did try to follow Bewley, but I didn't hear his name mentioned once in 5 hours.

    He didn't even have an altercation with a Shimano car.

    I couldn't understand why Frenchie was singing the praises of Debusschere now it all makes sense. Great idea, is it running for P-R too? More chance of getting a winner than PTP!

    Maybe do it for the Tour too. Would love to see FF get Froomedog. Now that would be worth watching.

    The concept is open, I won't have time to run it for P-R but anyone else that wants to go for it is more than welcome :-)

    I'll do it for P-R. Can't definitely promise that it will be the same as yours, but it will be randomised.

    Actually, my man Oliver Naesen (Topsport Vlaanderens) finished a respectable 35th....I think their next best rider was 75th

    No point in burning out on an Easter weekend chipper this early in the season.

    Cheers for running this, No ta Doctor, absolutely great fun!
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Yeah cheers Doc, gave me a laugh.

    I vote for a points system, 10 for the winner, 8 runner up etc and do it all season long. I'll happily stump up a tenner to get a little tinpot trophy made up for the "Pro Cycling Predictor Champion 2015"

    But the winner has to give it back for the 2016 season :D

    Having checked my man's record (Alberto Nardin) - he was DNF in 6 of the 8 one day races he has ridden in this season - it was no surprise that I did not spot him once and his final result was another DNF.
