    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 ;)

    Heading into the last stage, the current Vuelta leaders are:

    1 - archieboy - 73 pts
    2 - shockedsoshocked - 66
    3 - TheBigBean - 64
    4 - pblakeney - 63
    5= - rozzer32 - 62
    5= - Dialatron - 62
    7 - ducknumber1 - 59
    8 - ocdupalais - 56
    9 - m.r.m. - 54
    10 - takethehighroad - 53

    archieboy also has Roglič for the overall so would need some fairly spectacular changes to be dislodged.

    Plus the 100% unofficial provisional virtual 2020 PTP overall (includes overall from Vuelta):

    1 (2 pre-Vuelta) - rozzer32 - 906 pts
    2 (1) - red.rider - 884
    3 (5) - takethehighroad - 860
    4 (4) - Dorset_Boy - 842
    5 (6) - gregster04 - 841
    6 (7) - m.r.m. - 819
    7 (9) - archieboy - 808
    8 (3) - shockedsoshocked - 803
    9 (10) - dish_dash - 783
    10 (11) - TheBigBean - 780

    Same here. It's all about picking the correct GC, or nobody else getting it right. 😉
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

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

    Ah balls. I'll have Bennett but I am aware I am outside the time limit.

    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.

    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.
