TOUR DE FRANCE TIPPING
with the tour starting this weekend, we will again be running a tour de france tipping comp. entry is $10 and there are prizes for gc, points, mountains and stage wins.
you need to nominate a new rider each day and it is great way to follow the tour more closely.
click on the tour tipping page at the top of this website and register your team by filling in the comments at the bottom of the page.
there are links to each stage and you enter your tip by adding to the comments at the bottom. the comments section will close at 6pm each night and this will be the only way for you to enter your tips. you can, however, enter a number of tips by just commenting on each stage page.
so nominate your team name (you can have more than 1 team) and start looking at the rider start list and stage profiles.
good luck.
Great work in setting this up. I would encourage people to enter even if you don’t consider yourself an expert. In previous competitions we have all been upstaged by the SPR “First Lady” (Kate Mah)so anyone can win. Good to have Jonathan Vaughters tips also, I just hope he paid his $10.
Hmm, it is a very open way to tip… I may have to analyse who is chosing whom rather than research the riders 🙂
I will be entering in my customary two teams, I just need to find sometime to try be creative with the naming of my teams…
it may seem open, but think of it like ebay. you have until 6pm to get your tip in. if you wait too long and try to see what everyone else is doing then you may miss the cut off and get the default rider instead.
there is a cut off time on the comemnts and they will close at 6, so there will be no late entries as you cannot enter them afterwards. if you don’t see them in the comments for that stage, then you get default rider.
