Apologies for the change, but I'm worried Jumbo will do one of those nauseous linked arm finishes, so please may I switch to Cees Bol for S21?

Well, they'll look a little foolish now, if they do, but I'll stick with Bol.

Yyyeeesss. Thank you Rich for scoring. I'd like to thank my friends, family and teh academy for this win. The hours of dedication and hard work scanning procyclingstatsand the various stage previews have all paid off. Well done to all competitors, the sweetness of the victory is heightened by the toughness of the battle

If you don't mind me joining in just for the Tour?

Thanks for having me..

Congratulations to all TdF PTP jersey winners, and also of course a big thanks to RichN95 for all the work involved, done so efficiently.
I look forward to contesting you all in the Giro.

So now I have the Combativity jersey to hang alongside my Eneco Tour winning jersey from a few years ago.
I have no idea how I could have lost it. As far as I knew, I had an unassailable lead after the TT yesterday, so not sure how it almost turned into one of the biggest PTP upsets this century. Anyhow, thanks for creating this jersey in honour of my warped PTP selection criteria...Thomas deGendt eat your heart out!

And thank you Blazing Saddles for the stage previews, and Rich for enriching (see what I did there?) the TdF scoring.

I will also thank Rich for organising and scoring this PTP.
Other than that, much like Pogacar, I got the Polka all by myself. 😉🤣

PS - I also take full credit for messing up a 2nd podium placing in both Yellow and Green by not picking my favourite Bennett today in a failed attempt at glory.

And I never go anywhere without a can of Antargaz in my pocket.

You say that, but it was genuinely inspired by your warped PTP selections.

Strange has become the new normal. Cav to win on Champs next year...I mean his son, not Mark.
Thanks Blazing and Rich.

Dorset_Boy

Many thanks Rich for your hard work in scoring. Adds to the Tour! Clearly I put my GC faith in the wrong kid.

Thanks Rich for scoring and adding to the excitement with all the jersey competitions.

Congrats to all the winners, in particular takethehighroad. Gutted not to take a jersey myself, will have to try again next year.

You don't want to know how close you were to the combativity. Originally DeadCalm picked WVA for today but switched to Bol. If he hadn't, Ridgerider would have only got 5 combativity points not 10 and you would have won.

m.r.m.

Thanks Rich
