PG - Giro d'Italia 2021 Stage 2
Well someone looks pleased with themselves
Nearly forgot this is not the Classics and a nice break between races!
The Course
It's going to be a sprint.
The Weather
Small chance of rain but that's about it.
The Favourites
The sprinters. All of them. Personally I like the way Gav just rode that TT but Ewan is the man. No one take Tim please.
Here's the startlist for your perusal.
The Rules
In this game, only the race results matter. You're not committed to keeping the same riders throughout the series, you make fresh picks before every race. Our overall competition is just the sum of individual race scores. You're eligible for the overall even if you miss some races.
Pick 4 riders for the upcoming race. 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 favourites. See below for scoring details.
The strict entry deadline is the official start time of the race, the neutralized roll-out 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.
The Scoring
The last 3 races 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...
We will notify you by email if we need you to do a secret entry.
The Results
Head over to msbee's spreadsheet to check how you went but no complaining to us if the results are not entered straight away. Instead please send any issues in a polite email to TAMPEN@AOL.COM headed, 'Hey Moua, fix this'.
