Official Tour de France Pick Thread

[DRB]

Okay here it is. Pick the top 10. Points, Mountain, and Young Rider Jerseys. And the Top Team.

Scoring will be 10 points for each jersey correct and 5 points if your choice is 2-5 in that competition. The team pick will be worth 10 points.

In the Top 10 exact picks are worth 20 points with a bonus of 10 points for the race winner. Picks that are within the top 10 but not in the place you say will be worth 10 points.

And lastly, stage wins by any of your picks are worth 5 bonus points.

The winner will get some sorta prize from my bike closet. How nice it is depends on how much I like you....... :rofl: Seriously, it won't be crap. Well it might be but you'd be ingrateful if you called me on it.

Hopefully that's complicated enough for y'all. Entries are to be in by midnight Sunday July2nd. If they aren't you better have a damn good excuse.

EDIT: I changed my mind. Pick the TOP 10.

4. Zabriskie
5. Vinokourov
6. Hincapie
7. Leipheimer
8. Rasmussen

Need a points and young rider and a team.

Evans needs to be accounted for or he is going to cause some folks a real headache.

Its kinda why I said Sunday night. I figure whatever is going to happen in mass will happen by then.

[The Toninator]

working on it also

[mogulskr]

Here you go. I think I'll need Big Blue to figure out the points thing.

1. Evans
2. Hincapie
3. Rasmussen
4. Valverde
5. Landis
6. Vinokourov
7. Kloden
8. Leipheimer
9. Popovych
10.


Points: Boonen
KOM: Rasmussen
Young: Gilbert
Team: Dicso

[rooftest]

I pick Landis to win. This top 10 will take too much work/thinking, although it'll include Hincapie, Basso, Ullrich, and Leipheimer.

[jacksonpt]

I don't know enough about the ins and outs of racing to really know what I'm talking about, but with Basso and Ullrich out, things are shaping up really nicely for Landis, Vinokourov, and Leipheimer. I also think that whoever ends up being "the man" for Discovery is sitting pretty - it's hard to ignore the strength of that team.

I'm routing for Rasmussen though.

[The Toninator]

maybe all the ousted rides should just decide to ride like vino.

FIGHT THE POWDER!

I think I got 105 points, unless I'm allowed to count my #11 pick of Moreau and then I got 115!

[rooftest]

35 points for me. Not bad, considering I only picked one name.

[mogulskr]

I only had 55 points. Heidi kicked some butt i think.
