Okay so I couldn’t stand the suspense and have been the first to blink. Following Cav’s romp into Paris Fatboy holds a slender lead as the Manx Missile brought home the bacon for Iceman. The gap to third has grown but Two Phat 2 is still lingering in seventh and remains the highest place tipper holding the Ace Contador in preparation for the final reckoning. Meanwhile at the other end of the table Sicknote and Srampagno remain resolutely pointless. The big mover in the middle was Possum, up 19 places to 19th. Holding that form in the jersey round would really shake things up!

In case Bif felt like he was talking to himself, thought I had better let him know there was at least one team out there taking note of his updates. Not that we are going to win anything - we have been stuck on 261 points for I think at least 10 stages - O’Dirty will correct me I am sure wwhen he finally reappears. Fortunately he finished even lower…in this one and the SBS fantasy tour - heh heh!
Thanks mate, I was starting to wonder, and I showered and all this morning. Perhaps not having O’Dirty’s participant list to send out timely emails doesn’t help. Final results coming soon…
I’m glad you mentioned the SBS tipping comp AP. I had been looking for a chance to mention my glorious victory in the only proper tipping comp. Now, what did we say, $100 each to the winner?
Mate at the end of stage 20 you are wallowing at 26th in the only proper tipping comp, and I have to tell you things don’t get better when the jersey points are allocated.
