Sorry obviously I mean the Irish sprinter. Not the guy from down under and has a girlfriend who makes amazing custom shoes.

Please don't make me do the google to work out who you mean

George Bennett and his other half Caitlin.

Same here. It's all about picking the correct GC, or nobody else getting it right. 😉

Or picking a lot of the right names, but not necessarily in the right order.... copyright Mr E Morecambe of days past.

And not forgotten, congratulations archieboy on the overall win, top points scorer by stages (81) as well as picking the GC winner.

Thanks all!
Well done Archieboy!

So Rozzer wins the overall again. Three times in four years is remarkable. But he doesn't pick with panache. No lazily picking the same rider for all stages and GC or just picking the rider the last poster picked. No semi obscure riders who might get into the break. No heart over head.

Next year I'm going to pick who Rozzer does except for Lombardia.

I'm the Roglic of PTP world.

It was only GC I think, and no stage 1 in your post, which was Roglič - with GC alone would take you to 159 & 2nd on the Vuelta (& I'd make it second on the year).

If you also wanted Roglič for stage 1, plus another 10 would give you the Vuelta overall but 2nd for the year (906 v rozzer32 914), though if it was that close maybe choices would have changed towards the end.

I am actually guttered about being tardy! Next year must be more focused 😂 thanks once again.
