thanks for the nudge,

Stage 4... Kittel, Cav and Modollo

Looks like the jersey picks could play a large part in deciding this one...just waiting on the official results for the Points and Sprints jerseys.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

A good stage for @Crackle and @User who got the 1,2,3.
The overall was a close run affair, with a late surge in the jersey competition by a few pundits and some serious dropping in the table for others <Steve "I just need to mirror Berk to win?" Lovell in particular>

Overall, and joint, winners were:
@rich p and @simo105 so a ginormous chapeau for the pair of them.



Overall scores:
79 - rich and simo
78 - @Berk on a Bike
74 - @ItsSteveLovell
73 - @Crackle and Me
70 - @User
61 - @roadrash
37 - @smutchin

I didn't get them in the right order though. Like Eric said, I picked all the right riders but not necessarily in the right order.

Next up is Tour of Qatar, from 8th - 12th February.

Jersey competition will be limited to 2 jerseys, GC and Sprint , both scoring 15,12,10,7,5
Stages scoring will be 12, 10, 7, 5, 3

I've just had a look at the startlist and it's a comparatively poor effort as befits the mundaneness of the race

Blimey, how did that happen!

The power of winning a camel hat is strong.

A strong last stage showing plus decent Jersey scoring.

Enjoy wearing the hat with pride.

Ill let @rich p take the hat

How the mighty have fallen

It has been unusual for the jerseys to have too much of an impact, but I reckon that this year they will have greater influence due to the inclusion of more shorter stage races.

When can I take this kangaroo hat off? It's itchy and not at all aero...

By "wear" I was thinking that it might involve you making it your avatar, rather than walking about with it...

But, I answer to your question - one year.

Etixx aren't even bothering to show up to defend the title.
