after a very, very bad clerical error at the web-hosting place, we were suddenly left with no website for about 12 hrs. this meant that quite a few people (including myself) didn’t actually get their tip in for the final stage.
as such i am going to pull a cancellara and neutralise the stage. therefore all times and points were going to be based on the end of stage 19, the time trial.
the top three positions for each category can be seen below. the final leaderboard can be found here.
well done to team cougar for staying ahead in the general classification all the way to the end. team run bmc won every other category and if it wasn’t for a bad tip at about the halfway point, they may have won them all.
thanks for playing and keep an eye out for the vuelta tipping comp in a couple of months.

Thanks for running the comp Pete. Not that this year’s Tour wasn’t a genuine spectacle but the tipping just adds that extra bit of flavor! My Gerran’s tip will be back – he can win stages!!!
I’d like to donate my winnings to any worthy cause you may see fit – perhaps a new piece of kit for some junior or up and coming speedster that has yet to accumulate the required bling funds! Viva la France!!
Well done Petit General
Ditto El Presidente! Thanks for all the hard work!
Must say I really enjoyed this year’s Tour… made me long to get fit and back on my bike soon.
Great idea Rob… I’ll join you in donating my winnings (minus $10 for the Vuelta) to a suitable cause! Who needs the cash when the glory and bragging rights last forever… or at least a few weeks!

Great work Pete! Thanks
