Winners Thread

Out of curiosity, I was wondering who has managed to win anything so far this year, and if so what and how many times!
I managed to come 2nd on a stage missing out by 1 point  102 , but that's the closest I've been so far this year.
Managed to win the Classic San Sebastian last year, but that was before the Wiggle sponsorship so no prize  2

I just had a notification on the Fantasy Cycling Game "you have won a prize, click here to claim it". The I filled out my details. You may need to do that.

I won two prizes yet the form data was saved.

...and I've finally won something after Pais Vasco yesterday. Won Romandie overall last year but that was in the days before prizes in all competitions.

I won Tour de Suisse in 2012 thanks to Albasini's breakaway heroics. My only top 10 in a non-premium comp (ie lots more competition) was 9th in Spring Classics last year, but I have to say that isn't going quite so well this year!

3rd overall in purist last year, but that was more down to enthusiasm, consistent top 100s, and not missing any races than any actual knowledge...

My highest GT finish is 23rd in the 2012 Giro and I have a few top 10s in stage races but I'm yet to win anything outright,

2012
10th - Tour of Britain
2nd (purist) - Vuelta
3rd (purist) - Tour of Beijing

2013
7th - Volta Algarve
7th - Paris Nice
7th - Volta Catalunya
6th - Pais Vasco (purist)
9th - Tour de Romandie
10th (purist) - Tour de Suisse
8th - Tour of Poland

2014
8th - Tour de Med
9th (purist) - Tour de Med
5th - Volta Catalunya

Needless to say my favourite races tend to be the spring stage races, Algarve, Med, Catalunya and Pais Vasco.

Classics are not my strong suit as proven by my 469th position in 2012, 442nd position in 2013 and current 192nd position this year. I kinda miss the old style purist classics comp, I managed to finish 4th in that one year. It has to be said though, there are loads fewer confused people on the forum this year trying to work out how transfers work for purist people.

I almost won the purist Vuelta a couple of years ago, was leading into the last day but was pipped at the finish and beaten by 2 points, what made it worse was the fact that when the scores sent up first time I thought I'd won and then they were changed  20

Oh, I forgot to say, I've just lost the first place in the purist comp in Catalunya on the very last day, by something like 12 or 14 points. That hurt. I had it all worked out: 4 sprint stages, two GS stages and one escape day. There was only one way to go: a 9 sprinter team. I lost by a whisker, and that was because of a darn good sprinter: Contador decided one day that he might beat the sprinters, and the lunatic even got 6th. At that moment I knew all my shrewd calculations would crumble in the end, and those 18 points of his finally proved to be my downfall. Really, somebody should talk some sense into Bertie...

I thought the modern English was 'cheater', the number of times I've seen English people write that recently.

Or that could be American.

Dang, I blame LA.

For everything.
