@Teocalli Glass arrived in one piece, and Thank You again for hosting another great season and Thank You All for another great competition. Hope we all can do it again next year.
Happy New Year to all…
Excellent. Good to know that it arrived OK.
@philplumb59 can you contact me with your address please for the OTRL prize. The email I have for you seems to be out of use. If you don’t have my email can you use the contact form on the Soigneurs page. Ta,
Sorry for the delay – hope the suspense has been worthwhile. The last 3 races saw a some bunch sprints with the groups being inseparable, particularly in Il Lombadia. So fo the World’s Men we had a tie between CyclingMonk and Haldy34, in the Worlds Femmes CyclingMonk took a solo win but in Il Lombardia the mass sprint was inseparable betweenChuckp, CyclingMonk, MangoDave, Sthilzy and Teocalli. Chapeaux to all. Overall CyclingMonk pipped Sthilzy (a couple of Delgado in the Worlds didn’t help Sthilzy) with Philplumb59 completing the podium. I’ll be in touch via email to confirm addresses to send out… Read more »
Thanks for all your work on this once again, it was a great year. Hope we can all do it again in 2025.
G’day!, and thank you so much @Teocalli for providing the OTR-L to make the season more engaging! Chapeau! Looking forward to ’25!
@sthilzy Trying to confirm your address but I may have an old email address for you (or my emails are going to your spam!). If you have my email can you confirm your address please.
@Teocalli OTR-L Trophy arrived downunder! Thanks again for for the ’24 season and looking forward to the 25 season! Cheers!
Fab!
@Teocalli, @sthilzy, @Wiscot, and @chuckp-
Tom Pidcock was pulled from the Ineos line up. He will not be racing Lombardia now.
@chuckp
Thanx! Changed my picks. Not that it matters since I’m not in the running for anything. Not even Lanterne Rouge.
Pidcock a non starter in Il Lombardia
Picks open for the seasons closing race – Il Lombardia
Sorry been tied up with other stuff!
Tour de France Femmes saw a strong win for Sthilzy and in La Vuelta ChuckP pulled away in the last straight to win from the chasing bunch. Chapeaux. Overall Sthilzy continues to set the pace but the final results is still too close to call and a simple mechanical could swing things.
Will open picks for Worlds Road Races later – if I haven’t already missed them!
League wide Delgado ??
sweet…
Yup, totally spaced that one!
Picks open for La Vuelta. Damn it I had the date wrong in the entries table. A TV ad for the highlights just nudged me to check! Entries will stay open for an extra couple of days to avoid Delgadoes.
Damn, should have read all the news better, Longo Borghini crashed in training 2 days ago and isn’t racing…

Results updated! Sorry for the delay – clean forgot.
Tour de France saw a dead heat between @MangoDave and @philplumb59, Giro d Italia Donne saw a pretty mass Delgado but its a podium for Quorum @sthilzy took the win.
Overall Sthilzy is out in the wind but there is still all to play for. Looking like the tightest finish we have had.
Picks open for next events.
If Pogacar wins The Tour, does he do The Vuelta ??
What do you guys think…
Well … Delgado-ed the Giro Donne!
CAVENDISH !!!!
He did it! I knew he would.
I’m going against the flow and picking Vingegaard to be fully recovered and a third success.
@CyclingMonk – which Yates are you picking there?
Adam Yates…thanks..i’ll just leave that here
OK
Changed my TdF picks to buck conventional wisdom. Figure given my place in the standing have nothing to lose by going out on a limb with my picks!
Please check my points for Tour de Suisse I think it should be 22. Yates,Almeida and Skjelmose
Ah the results has A Yates – missed that, will update probably tomorrow now.
Fixed
CyclingMonk takes solo wins in Criterium du Dauphine and Philplumb59 the Tour de Suisse. Chapeaux,
Those results also see both storm up the field with CyclinkMonk out in the lead and Philplumb59 moving into third place. Still all to play for!
Picks will open later today for La Grande Boucle.
Picks open for Tour de Suisse
Anyone 63kg or under FTW!
The Giro d’Italia saw Sthilzy break away from a tight bunch in the final straight on the last day for a clear win. That also sees him out in the wind as the clear leader overall. Chapeau.
