ProTour Punditry Predictions

No rush Smutch. Any joy in getting yourself off your fat arse gainful employ yet?

p.s. Congrats on Coquard - Dumoulin got 2nd

I think it was a good decision to have this puny/irrelevant/stupid/unpredictable race excluded from the results.

Who the hell proposed that race anyway?!?

Should we take it as sign that what happened to Smutch was inevitable, since he spend more time on here when he was employed?

Yeah, of course.

Thank's Smutch!

I think Rich is owed 1 point for catalunya stage 5 (dumolin finished 3rd)...and I think I may be 5 short for Mezgec on the same stage but I am happy to donate them to charity

Oops! I think it looks like I missed off the points for the last three stages of Catalunya, and the overall classifications. Good spot. I'll update it later. Cheers!

It's part of the women's world cup, so all the big names should turn out. In theory.

Lack of knowledge won't be an impediment to me, given my showing so far!

 

[smutchin]

I might offer bonus points to anyone who can find Chongming Island on a map.

 

[themosquitoking]

It's in the Yangtze estuary isn't it?

Actually for me the women races have been great, I guess not knowing much (or anything) about it really helps, getting both Johannson (AB) and Van Dijk (RvV) right

And I haven't even used my pre-season strategy once (pick Vos for every race)

I might offer bonus points to anyone who can find Chongming Island

Is it somewhere in Super Mario Land?

Leaue table updated with missing points from Catalunya added - thanks, monty, I hadn't realised I was cheating myself out of 7pts!

It's on the High Street, across from the Tesco Metro shop and the bus stop.
