PG Classics - Ronde van Vlaanderen - Larrer-micks Edition

If the Ronde is your cup of tea

And you're looking for something that's free

Then come play this game

Where you just pick 4 names

As long as you don't choose Pithie

The Course

As per usual the changes are minute

As it's been for a while on this route

A climb taken from there

Some pavé added elsewhere

But on the whole it's all pretty moot

The Favourites

Whilst Abrahamsen will go for the break

Taking fellow Norwegian Laengen, Stake

With Pog and Wout absent

You won't need a relaxant

If Matti is the one that you take

Here's your start list.

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.
