**New players most welcome - feel free to join in and ask anything that I have not explained well enough to understand**
Roolz are similar to what we ended up with last year

Predictions to be submitted via this thread before the stage/race starts - some leeway will be given on occasions, but not when potentially decisive breaks or moves have been made.
Three riders prediction per stage/race.
Three riders prediction for any of the "jerseys" for multi-stage races - I'll announce the "jersey" competitions prior to multi-stage races.
Points will be awarded for 1st-5th for each stage/race as well as for overall picks - I'll announce the scores for each race as they approach and will throw in a few double points stages for the Grand Tours.
Points will be collated and published on this thread as soon after races/stages as I can.
There is no overall league so players can join in as they want - I might have an overall "Spring Races" table but that will depend how busy I am; I am unlikely to be busy as I lead a shite life...
There are no prizes.
**And please no spoilers, keep those for the race chat threads, as I sometimes come into this thread to get people's predictions after the race/stage has ended but before I have watched the race**
If anyone fancies doing the numbers for any of the events listed, I am more than happy for that to happen as long as you let me know.
Also, I anyone fancies running events not listed by me, then feel free.
And, as always, I am open to trying different approaches - most of the changes to selections and scoring have been a result of suggestions put forward by punditeers rather than of my doing, so keep it up!
