Yeah I think this sweepstake is the best thing vorb has to offer. I join everyone else in saying thanks for all the time you put into this, Tugboat.

And tonight, Griepel

I'll pick Farrar.
Thanks Tugboat.

Cav for me.
Awesome sweepstake Tugboat,great effort, if you ever want a kiler deal on a Fondriest Italian road bike give me a call, www.designerbikes.co.nz , just got up and running.

Thanks for all the hard work, I will take Cav for the finale thanks.

It's been Garmin's tour - Farrar to finish it off for them. This time the leadout team of Thor & Julz will get the better of HTC's (I hope).

Hey Patani - the Fondriest you have in at Cycle Surgery caught my eye the other day. Nice looking machine! Just a pity she who holds the chequebook wouldn't be too pleased if I looked to trade up to it.

Yeah mate , i had that problem too,to get round it I started selling the fondriests , now i have a real flash bike to ride on, i tell her its marketing.

thanks Tugboat - awesome comp

Cav for the finale please

Julz FTW...nah that would take a crash and we have seen too much of that shit.

Gonna say Greipel, just to add a bit of interest to the stage.

Farrar for tonight's finale.

Thanks for a great 3 weeks entertainment. Much appreciated.

Stoked for Cadel. He finally did it!
Almost forgot with tonights pic. How Griepel or Farrar would love to win this one! Good luck to them I say, but I can't afford to slip down the leaderboard too much more so will pick the safety of Cav for this one.

Yeah thanks again tugboat for organising such a fun competition

Well the game is done and won. Thanks everyone for playing and playing well but at the end of the day it was Bianchibitch who played the best and takes the title for 2011. Well done that man woman!!!

Top ten!

Cheers, Tugboat. As others have stated, your sweepstakes add a whole other dimension to following Le Tour, so thanks so much.

Never quite made it into top 5 (sixth at one point) but clung on for top 10.

I found the challenge of having to think a bit more deeply about what was going on - trying to guess who might be going to go on the attack, when and why etc - added another dimension to the Tour Thanks again for all your work.

Bah, slipped one place in the final stage Think only 1 of my o/a picks came through.

Haven't seen the Alps stages yet, but hopefully a friend has recorded them for me.

Great race, good on Evans for winning it, he looked strong from the start and a big thanks Tugboat for another great competition about a great competition.
