PG - Giro d'Italia 2021 Stage 5

I think he's saying "that's two wins..."

The Course

Starts in Modena. Goes via Bologna and Imola. Gets to Rimini. Goes down the coast. Oh. And it's flat. There's a few turns in the last few k's but there's a dead straight finish with the last turn around 900 metres from the line.

The Weather

Cloudy with a chance of rain. Wind shouldn't be too strong.

The Favourites

Nailed on sprint. Surely Caleb will improve and Gav looked good on Monday. Tim will be looking to double up and Elia will think he's got the team to get him home. In other words, the usual suspects.

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.
