2014 predictions

[Hont]

OK, watch this space, you heard it all here first... Remember I was joint winner last year with Hont ... With a grand total of...wait for it... one correct prediction!

Flanders: Cancellara

And we're off the mark again! Based on last year we now know who's not going to win the remaining races.

 

[Hont]

Many predicted Quintana for the Giro win so, as a group, we've already done better than last year.

Buy yourself an ice-cream everyone.

He's going to win P-R sooner or later. I think Stannard should get one this year is Sky get their Classics tactics together - but that's a big 'if'.

I have a feeling Cav will be closer to Sagan than people think in the Tour, and with his revamped train, he will certainly win more stages. And Froome will be in yellow again in Paris. Quintana for the Giro is easy, the only question is how the other, younger and apparently even more talented Quintana does this year...

Hmmm, pretty good going Monkey Man!

Good thing, I kept my clean sheet by stubbornly picking some else than Quintana

No ice cream, but an ice pack for me

As no one has made a prediction on Paris-Tours, I think the season (for the purposes of this thread) is now complete. And I think (I haven't been through with a fine-tooth comb) the winner is Tigger with a grand total of 3.

It turned out that Betancur in particular wasn't trying to get in shape for anything or anyone this season. He was on a season-long go-slow protest.

Hey hey! 2 years in a row eh!? ;-)

Bugger. Just noticed that @rich p also got 3. The GT triple at that too. Not that it trumps a GT double and a monument of course!

Blimey, so I did!

Blimey, so I did!

And... In another amazing feat, 3 out of your 4 classics predictions did indeed win classics! Albeit the wrong classics so it doesn't count and it's still a draw.

Pity he never transferred his random guessing at the start of the season to Pro punditry choices

True dat - I'm amazed looking back that I picked Nibali for the TdF in Feb but not in June!
