well the tour has been run and won and we are now getting back into regular sleep patterns.  the tipping comp certainly had some ups and downs with lots of people losing many minutes in the first few stages.  consistency was the key in both the general classification and sprint competitions while jagging that right pick certainly helped the mountain and stage wins.  there were so many unpicked stage winners this year that the jackpots certainly made it  worth getting right.

as for our own podium, the winners are listed below and also on the tipping pages.  can the winning teams please email me their bank account details so that i can transfer your winnings across.  congratulations to the winners and thanks to all that took part this year.
