PG-Giro Stage 16
Ahhh....love this area. Great mountain biking! Can Doom pull back flying Yates? Will Pinot be French Champ TTer or last year's not so hot? Dennis come storming back into top 10? Froome???? What about MAL and Carapaz? Battle for white heating up! Should be a good one!
Rules
In this game, only the stage results matter. You're not committed to keeping the same riders throughout the race, you make fresh picks before every stage. Our overall competition is a combined total of all 21 individual stage scores. You're eligible for the overall even if you miss some stages.
Pick 4 riders for the upcoming stage. The order of your picks doesn't matter. All of your riders can score.
Riders score points down to 10th place. Less popular riders score more points than heavily-picked favorites. See below for scoring details.
The strict entry deadline is the official start time of the stage, the neutralized rollout or Départ Fictif. Be warned - if your post is timestamped one minute late your entry won't count! So do remember that there's no disadvantage to getting an entry in early, even the day before, because you may always change your picks up until the deadline. Feel free to rethink your picks when it emerges which riders are more or less popular with other players. If you make changes, post your revised 4 picks in a reply to your original post.
Try to enter just the last name of the person...Cancellara not Cance for example. And Izagirre I or Costa R. It helps us with the data entry into the spreadsheet.
Scoring
Forgot to mention..!!!
The last 3 stages will be secret entry between the top contenders… To avoid defensive picking..
When we say top contenders we leave the number open because who knows how many will be within striking distance...wooley7 scored the win in the Classics with a long range suicide attack in Liege so you can never count yourself out...NEVER!
We will notify you by email if we need you to do a secret entry.
Results:
We will try and post results in a timely fashion as soon after each stage as possible. However we are all busy so will just do our best there. We will post them along with a post for the next stage.
