    Looks like rozzer32 (Molano) and pblakeney (Ganna) are hitting out for the overall win today, needing their pick to win the stage and the other (+Groves) to be outside the top 8, otherwise gregster04 has it wrapped up due to the many Groves picks.

    Yeah, all or nothing.
    Much like Roglic I was not happy settling for the podium. 😉
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Go for it :smile:

    Correcting myself slighty, rozzer32 would take it with a Molano win and Groves outside the top 8 - Ganna is pretty irrelevant if Molano takes it but if Ganna takes 2nd in that scenario it would get you that podium

    Meh. Could have held the podium with a simple Remco yesterday and Groves today.
    All or nothing. 🤣

    Jings, made the top 10 GC despite constant wrong guessing. Perhaps I wasn't the only one 😊

    Thanks quacker1 for doing the admin.

    Thanks Duck! If only Roglic has pushed harder on the Angliru eh?

    Roglic probably should attack a little more towards the beginning of a grand tour. Otherwise this Situation is repeatable (probably not with Kuss who won't be allowed up the road any more) with a strong teammate taking time, becoming the leader on the road and that gap not being closable just with bonus seconds.

    I'm not sure that Kuss was "allowed up the road". I think they expected other teams to chase, but they didn't.

    Not sure I’ve ever won a PTP Grand Tour in many years of trying. Finally got lucky with the breakaway being allowed to go so often, and then Remco dominating the majority of them.
