Best to not take riders that hang out the back on the cobbles
Breaking News:
After 3 months of dogged negotiations, PG 2022 is pleased to announce the greatest first prize in prediction games history.
This years winner of the Spring Classics edition will* receive the unbelievable award of not having a single one of their VDS riders selected to win by Jens 'My Word Is My Bond' Hagström in a live race post.
It All Starts With Strade
A post will go up before the end of the week to give you all plenty of time to make the wrong 4 choices as to your picks for the first race. Below is the calendar and the rules plus an explainer of the game for anyone new and looking to find another way to self inflict poor choices in life. The is here for your perusal.
On a personal note, this is a needed opportunity to get back some confidence as I currently sit second from bottom in my own VDS sub-league. All I can say is thank goodness for Jimbo.

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.
