tombeej Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Well I am now really done tinkering with my team.. it must stay as is and I'll maar close my eyes and hope my boys do me proud[emoji23]
Joe Low Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 This is such a great competition, slick layout, lots of permutations and with prizes! Thanks Gerald for getting it to this level and to whoever else on the Hub (admin?) and the sponsors have contributed.
shawnvan Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 FLip, how do you decide sprinters between Griepel, Cavendish, Degenkolp and throw in Sagan for good measure... Going to be some epic sprints finishes.
HeadDown Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 This is going to add quite a bit of enjoyment to the Tour for me. WELL DONE Gerald.(Now imagine a competition that requires picking a team that has the cumulative greatest finish time - ie ideally the last 9 on GC. Would have to know your riders to get that right. )
word Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Geraldm, I have a question - Where the f*^$ did all these hubbers come from?? I remember the good old hub days when there were only 70 entries into this competition
shaper Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 changed my team for the 4th time.... this race needs to start so that can stop thinking about riders, strategies etc!!
Matt Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 This is such a great competition, slick layout, lots of permutations and with prizes! Thanks Gerald for getting it to this level and to whoever else on the Hub (admin?) and the sponsors have contributed.Thanks for the feedback! Great to see the interest in this one. It's going to make for a very exciting Tour! As you say - a huge thanks to Gerald for the many hours of effort he's already put into the 2015 edition. In terms of other hubbers who've helped out... a huge thanks to Nick who's been liaising with Gerald along the way and furiously updating riders in the last week On the prizes - of course a big thanks our sponsors Omnico, and a special mention to Iwan Kemp who assisted in getting them on board. Now to finalise my team...
dexterdent Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 This is really cool, thanks Geraldm. Much better than the UDT one we always use between our friends which is very micro-intensive. And the point system is very interesting, I had to go check some of last year's stats to see which type of rider scores well!
Shebeen Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 I started an informal point scoring for the cape epic. gees i'm glad it didn't take off! well done to all behind it. I think i've cracked the algorithm to win this thing. i put in peter sagan 9 times.
Frosty Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 This is really cool, thanks Geraldm. Much better than the UDT one we always use between our friends which is very micro-intensive. And the point system is very interesting, I had to go check some of last year's stats to see which type of rider scores well!For next year, there may be a mini-league option. This year is the start of a BIG step up.
arendoog Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Some local feel for tomorrow,s start here in Utrecht .Was very hot these last few days in Europe with record high temperatures .34degree celsius in Amsterdam today .The only place inRSA i felt this type of heat was in the Kalahari and Karoo
DJuice Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Cant decide on my stage 1 winner. Got 5 names, all of them can win.Should I go with the old guys? Or the young ones? Cant wait for Le Tour to start.
