Levi, and anyone else who might think of doing it. If you change an FP, please put it in a new message, because I might have already transferred the existing picks, and I don't go back to old messages

15 Samu
16 Bozic
17 Bennati
|
Enchantress
|
Could be a sprint finish but I think the last climb will do enough to slow down the sprinter's team.
Stage 15 F/P = Philippe Gilbert
|
Fontfroide
|
Stage 15 Cobo
Although I like the chances of El Fares also, but since two already picked him, I could not really be fearless in doing so.

Ralph, you might want to look at yours again. Not sure if Fedrigo's still in either.

That was a Terrific ride from someone from this Neck of the Woods.
Do I read that right that 12 points lead the Vuelta FP's.
Well we are not very good as I should be at the bottom as usual.
I will try Stage 19 ...... Pieter Weening, again. The last time it went Boom

I think I'll try Bennati tomorrow - about time he did something.
|
mr shifter
|
Andre Greipel....... because he has been overshadowed, I think he wants his own Champs Elysees.
So stage 21 ...... Andre Greipel, please
Well he got it. !
So at the moment he is "The Sprint Man" with his 4 wins crossing the line and looking good winning this in a Green Jersey.
I'm sure there is a message here.
|
Enchantress

Hi Kathy - I think I have 13 points instead of 12 (6 + 7).
I know, I know, I'm begrudging a point but it has been such a bad tour for F/P's for most of us so.....
Stage 21 F/P = Greipel
|
kathy
|
Sorry, Enchantress - you wouldn't believe I was once a mathematician, would you?
|
billgull
|
F/P:
Stage 21 = Andre Greipel
Thanks! for your diligence in maintaining the F/P totals.

What, you must be joking, three weeks and all I got was 15 points, big deal.

It would be interesting to compare our FP totals for each GT. I found the winners in the Vuelta to be very bizarre, and the number of times I just picked with no confidence at all whatsoever was greater than the other Tours. Although I usually advocate the unexpected as the mark of a good race, to me this was very odd>

All in the main FP thread...bumped it back to the top. You're right, the Vuelta has been a nightmare trying to get right.
