ProTour Punditry Predictions

[smutchin]

Just totting up the points and...

Romandie...
LR - Earle

Damn! Earle came 121st out of 122 finishers! Beaten to the lanterne rouge by his team-mate, Chris Sutton. The swine.

Still, the lucky guess on Spilak for stage 3 is a kind of compensation!

Ok, the latest scores on the doors...

Romandie mini-league:

Predictions from the Ardennes and Romandie - as ever, let me know if I've mucked up...

LA for everything

Wasn't he banned from cycling for life? Or does a sex-change cancels this out?

I think rich is reappropriating the initials for a better purpose. Still takes some getting used to though!

It could stand for Lazy peanut as I haven't been able to see a route profile and I know little about women's racing beyond the few obvious names.

[themosquitoking]

Giro
GC - Quintana
KOM - J Rod
Points - Kittel
LR - Manuele Mori

Stage 1 - Giant Shimano

 

[The Couch]

Oh yeah... the Giro... (almost forgot to get my predictions in)

GC: Quintana (I went for Uran in my pre-season prediction, but since those have been so great, I am staying away from them)
KOM: Rabottini
Points: Viviani
LR: Appollonio

Not sure if we go for this one (I guess not since we're all a bit late with our predictions)... but I like a guess just as the next guy, so here's a blind guess ...
“Pinarello Breakaway rider”: Boem

Stage 1: OGE
Stage 2: Kittel
Stage 3: Kittel
Stage 4: Kittel
(No offence to the sprinters present in the Giro, but I don't see them beating Kittel in an outright sprint)

p.s.
Monty, I know we're not doing California, but Ten Dam has my backing over there
