Pro Tour Punditry 2017 **no spoilers please**

[brommers]

Hi @Marmion, how about throwing in a wildcard (no GC contender) as an extra pick for one of the final three stages. Either from a selection by you or by ourselves?

40 - roadrage
35 - irish, Archie
25 - Adam, gk09

90 - Archie
70 - Adam
65 - irish

Will see what I can do for Saturday's stage, a bit hectic at work just now and travelling to and from home, etc but should have some time tomorrow to identify 5 flair riders for you to choose from

 

[smutchin]

10 - brommers - excellent flair pick

Chapeau, @brommers!

 

[brommers]

It was a crap flair pick as I picked him as one of the breakaway riders!

OK, I have identified 5 riders as flair picks for the Alpe d'Huez stage.

I shall stick them up tomorrow as soon after the stage finish as I can so everyone knows who they are prior to picks.

Wild Card riders for tomorrow are:

Rafael Valls (Lotto Soudal)
Enric Mas (Quick Step)
Antwan Toelhoek (Lotto Jumbo)
Sam Oomen (Sunweb)
Jay Thomson (Dimension Data)

Feel free to ignore if you want

Edit - I picked this list last night; I just checked and all listed riders are still in the race.

Further edit - I'll award points (20 of them) to any one of these flair picks who are in the top 10, rather than the usual placing picks, which seems a bit more like it might work...
