| HuwB |
Short on options for today, aren't we.
Stage 8: Ale Jet (worth what? 1 point FTW?) Stage 9 Nibali |
||||
| Fontfroide |
Contador and Nibali already have at least two bets. Most of the rest are taken. I can't figure Sastre will wake up suddenly, although it is possible. I am bored picking Pozzovivo, Serpa who knows, so for me it is
Sella, who knows. |
||||
| kathy |
Le Mevel for me tomorrow.
Petacchi was worth 1 point today. Tables

Stage 9......Vincenzo Nibali, please.
I make it 45 mins to start. |
||||
| Severo |
9 Nibali. Unless I'm too late. | ||||
| mr shifter |
Having been a cyclist for so many years that would stop to help another cyclist with a problem. (even as a car driver)
I note that MS, posted 14th May on the stage 9 thread at 11.28pm (GMT) his choice of Kreuziger for todays win. |
||||
| kathy |
Severo, I think we'll allow you two minutes! Funny, I thought of Kreuziger myself, before thinking le Mevel was looking good. I think the big faves will look at each other again today. | ||||
| kathy |
Today, Me a fan? hits the jackpot with Rujano worth 10 points. Contador got 8 and Garzelli, 4.

stage 10 di Luca
I am beginning to find this race a trifle bizarre. And the language used by one member of the forum is beginning to decay again, it is becoming bizarre how it sticks out like a big dick waving around. Does it really not bother any of you at all that everyone else manages to express themselves about the cycling without the frequent use of the word cunt or fuck or whatever he picks out of the gutter? |
||||
| kathy |
FF, I just find it rather bizarre that someone obviously well-educated and articlulate cannot espress himself without resorting to Anglo-Saxon language - which is all it is, when all said and done. It doesn't offend me - you hear worse in primary school playgrounds nowadays 
|
||||
| gerry12ie |
Lang for Tuesday please | ||||
| Nolte |
10 - ferrari
11 - Cataldo |

| levi |
10 PINEAU
11 NIBALI 12 CAV. 13 ANTON 14 KYRYIENKA 15 CONTADOR could i have these Kathy. |

| kathy |
Stage 10 - out on a limb - Belletti | ||||
| Slapshot 3 |
Stage 10 - Alessandro Petacchi
Stage 11 - Michele Scarponi Stage 12 - Mark Cavendish Stage 13 - Jose Rujano Stage 14 - Alberto Contador Stage 15 - Alberto Contador |
||||
| HuwB |
Stage 10: Cavendish.
Little chance, but with Ale, Belli, and Ferrari all taken..... FF: Just watched a 12 rated film with lots of FFing in it. 10 years ago it would have rated 18. As to primary playgounds. I was there and Kathy is correct. Times have changed.....................unfortunately. |
||||
| Fontfroide |
When i was a lad, I no doubt used bad language, or Anglo Saxon vocabulary as Kathy puts it. I still do. The kids still do. MANY adults do. But this is writing about cycling. I just think it is unnecessary and disrespectful. I am reading along and it is like walking a path and getting brambles caught in your trousers. Nothing cosmic, no big deal, but annoying. No one needs to do this, its about cycling ... and thoughtfulness to others. No idea why I picked di Luca. Must change it if I get around to thinking about it. |

st10 - ventoso | ||||
| mr shifter |
Naspa/Murphy (it has to be who your talking about) has caused many to leave this forum and as I'm no angel (well I was a cyclist on English & Welsh roads) and will let it go every now and again but he just shows himself up to be the biggest Bigot on this forum. The biggest smile is his Daily Mail comments, which shows he reads that paper to know what they are saying. Stage 10........Francisco Ventoso, please |
||||
| kathy |
I was going to go for Anton for Stage 11, but have opted for Garzelli instead.
Today Cav 8pts Ventoso 5pts Petacchi 1pt Tables

Being a hopeless optimistic, Cunego for Wednesday?
Guess who?
Have MJM and Cavendish ever been seen together? 
|
||||
| gerry12ie |
J-Rod to pinch a few seconds back tomorrow please | ||||
| Fontfroide |
NOT Rujano for stage 11. Seems like he is in good form and might well want to win a stage. Maybe.
But looking around it appears no one has Kreuziger and he has to break loose soon, so Sorry kathy, but Kreuziger |
||||
| maffy |
st11 - joe visconti | ||||
| mr shifter |
Stage 11....Danilo DiLuca, please | ||||
| HuwB |
Who knows with this stage?
Stage 11: Pavel Brutt has been very quite so far, but Tricolore Visconti has been trying, trying and getting better....... Go with my gut over head and Brutt. |
||||
| Fontfroide |
Can someone help me figure out where to post to find out if anyone has read Pedalare Pedalare, about Italian cycling. PM me.
Sorry for wrong posting, but I figured most of us are looking this thread. Sorry Kathy. |
||||
| mr shifter |
I had that lined up but saw yours and went elsewhere. Stage 12 Cavendish, please |
||||
| kathy |
I'll try Ferrari again tomorrow - should be fast
Today, 4 points for Purito and 5 for Visconti tables

I pick Cav, don't think I have scored ANY points this Giro, so I should maybe get something for the lad. | ||||
| Nolte |
12 - Appollonio
13 - Sastre |
||||
| berck |
Cav for stage 12 | ||||
| HuwB |
Stage 12: FP Kathy, what's Cav currently worth?
Think I'll have a bash with Belletti, since the winner and 2nd place can't (rightly) be worth much. |
||||
| kathy |
At the moment, 2 points if he wins, but there are further picks to be made, which could increase or decrease that
|
||||
| kathy |
You scored 3 points in the first week. |
||||
| Biosphere |
It's like musical chairs on the sprinters this week (here and Cali)! I'll take a toke on Ventoso for Thursday. | ||||
| gerry12ie |
I'll try Kiryienka for Cav's last spin please | ||||
| billgull |
Stage 12 F/P: Alessandro Petacchi | ||||
| maffy |
homeboy innanother break? st12 - ventoso |
||||
| HuwB |
I'm really not confident that he can take 3rd behind the other two. Especially after plumping for Brutt over Visconti, yesterday. So, I think I'll play the % game today and change my FP to Mr 2 Point Cavendish, please. Kathy. 
|
||||
| kathy |
Stage 13 - David Arroyo
Nolte scoops the pool today with 11 points for Appollonio. Cav was worth 3 in the end and Petacchi 2. Tables

nice 
can i change tomorrow's pick to Sherpa |
||||
| kathy |
Are you serious, NOlte? Or is it a joke? In which case I guess you mean Serpa - it's not quite Everest! | ||||
| gerry12ie |
Anton tomorrow please | ||||
| Fontfroide |
I see no one has Nibali. He has to make a move sooner or later. Maybe on Stage !3.
Nibali. |
||||
| Slapshot 3 |
To me, this is a Sherpa.....a Bultaco Sherpa Trials Bike
Not a prime example but...... |
||||
| berck |
Stage 13: Savini | ||||
| billgull |
Stage 13 F/P: Jose Rujano | ||||
| maffy |
st13 - pardilla | ||||
| HuwB |
Stage 13: Everybody is paired, so I might as well make the third man for Contador, as an each way bet.
I have a sneaky feeling that Sella will go up the road for a win and the mountains jersey. |
||||
| mr shifter |
Wack em
Stage 13....Joaquin Rodriguez, please |
||||
| Biosphere |
I suspect I 'm too late for today, but if Kathy's feeling relaxed about it then I'll try Sella for today. Apologies if I've stood on toes, but I didn't check everyone else's picks.
I may not be able to post for next two stages, so if I can't I'll have Kreuziger for Sat and Sun, but if he doesn't start, then Rujano as back up please. |
||||
| Nolte |
14 - Pozzovivo | ||||
| Nolte |
i thought it was going to be his turn
|
||||
| kathy |
Rujano to do the double tomorrow!
He was worth 8 points to Slapshot and Bill today. 3 points for Contador. tables

Stage 14 F/P: John Gadret | ||||
| HuwB |
Meh.
Stage 14 Rujano. (although we all know who is going to get up the Zoncolan fastest) |
||||
| gerry12ie |
Contador Saturday | ||||
| maffy |
st14 - scarponi? |
||||
| mr shifter |
Stage 14 Contador, please | ||||
| kathy |
2 points for Berto today, 3 for Nibs.
End of week 2. Me a fan? wins Week 2 from billgull and Slapshot. Overall for the Giro, Huw has a one point lead over Bill, with Me a fan? in third. Final week 2 tables
