PG - Tour de France 2023 Stage 2
k to 208.9k to be exact.
We've 5 categorised climb with a few more hidden along the way exactly like stage one. It finishes with a technical descent off of Jaizkibel. Yesterday was Getxo. Today San Seb and again we get a kicker at the end except this one comes before the line which is basically flat.
The Favourites
The sprinters will hope they take the last climb nice and easy but not much chance of that. Jasper might survive but it's a big if. So we're left with Wout v Mads v Bini v Matti unless it's an even tougher last 20k and then the likes of Ala et al come into consideration.
Good luck with your picks.
For now, here's the startlist as it stands.
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.
