Hey everyone Thanks for an awesome sweepstake I have really enjoyed the added fun. Tugboat you deserve the yellow for taking the time to do this for us all....do vorb pay you a commission? Unfortunately in ChCh we had a power cut last night so I still haven't seen the stage :sneaky:
Wazza M I believe your team actually beat mine by about 3 points overall so well done...I think Sammy Sanchez was my saving grace in the polka (despite my domestique telling me "why the hell did I pick him he will do nothing!!"). Hence I am on the lookout for a new domestique.....due to highly ungracious behaviour and dissent.
Very pleased with my team and congrats to Cadel Evans he truly deserves the win.
Amat victoria curam....roll on 2012.

Thanks again Tugboat, stunning stuff.

Trail, your fall on the graph above is pretty impressive :blink:

Cheers everyone. :blush:

I'm pretty sure that Trails big drop was the removal of Kolobnev. Having someone crash out is bad enough but to have points stripped really hurts!

All the others have said it Tugboat - well done and many thanks from me too!

Thanks too to all you others for making the daily (or sometimes more than daily :p ) visit into vorb more entertaining from comments etc. Gotta laugh that Gydey is going to get the odd reminder of his results throughout the next year.

Put a patent on the format! You could sell it to Jimungo that run the Virtual Super 15 etc picking comps.

Congrats BB. Come back next year for another crack... see if you can better my consistency?? Went from winning last year to second last this year :lol:

I guess I should have put more effort in and come last and not just second last!!

Hey Tugboat...thanks heaps for organising this and making the great race even more fun. I had seen the sweepstake on Vorb last year and had a laugh at all the comments...so for a first time entrant it was great. I'm happy with 22nd, aiming for top 10 next year though :rolleyes:

Lucky that last stage of the sweep wasn't the champagne only variety of the real thing, as I snuck into 3rd. Choice :thumbsup: .

Thanks again Tugboat, have enjoyed hmming and hghrring over the daily picks.

Thanks again Tugboat - once again this was AWESOME, and greatly aided my enjoyment (and stress - haha) of watching the Tour!!! :D :D

And congrats Bianchi - had hoped to run you down in the mountains, but it wasn't to be (thanks Gesink!) and your jersey picks completely did me in! Good work ;)

And lastly, good ole Cadel eh - chapeau!
