ProTour Pundit 2015 *no spoilers please*

[roadrash]

stage 21- degenkolb , drucker, and van poppel

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Final stage top scorers were @roadrash and @simo105 who used their deep knowledge of the peloton to predict 1st 2nd and 3rd

Top scorer in the jersey competitions was @Crackle would used his even deeper knowledge to score 47 points

The final stage plus jerseys changed the order quite a bit with a few pundits making a good leap in the final standings and a few others taking a downward final day slump.

And so to the winner - this year's red jumper goes to @Berk on a Bike

2nd is @themosquitoking

3rd equal is @smutchin and @User

Overall scores for everyone as follows:
344 - @Berk on a Bike
318 - @themosquitoking
282 - @smutchin and @User
270 - @roadrash
259 - @rich p
252 - @Crackle
248 - @Supersuperleeds
230 - @400bhp
209 - me and @ItsSteveLovell
207 - @simo105
128 - @robertob
99 - @Archie

Well done everyone

You'll see from the OP that I didn't list the World Championships in the list of pundit competitions but it seems silly to not cover them so I'll include the following events:
22 September - Elite Women TT
23 September - Elite Men TT
26 September - Elite Women Road
27 September - Elite Men Road

Same format as most recent competitions with 3 picks per event, overall World Champ Pundit decided on accumulated scores across the 4 events.

Which will then take us to the final pundit event of the year, Il Lombardia on 4th October.

Well played to @Berk on a Bike for winning and @Marmion for organising. Three cracking grand tours this year really.

Goes to show, as in actual pro cycling just one good stage can make all the difference. I doff my cap to the enigma that is Frank Schleck and to that other bloke who took second on the same stage.

Thanks once again to @Marmion for crunching the numbers every day

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

well done to all you and @Marmion nice one again, although I might have to reevaluate going for flair picks, bastards done me no good..

Flair doesnae pay unless in very small doses and on the right stage with the right riders*

Consistency is the key; steady accumulation. I doubt I'll pay this fact the slightest bit of attention tho.

*if, indeed, Schleck comes into the category of flair
