Giro D'Italia 2014 - Pick Three Italians
We'd better get this underway... in the wise words of drheaton, the rules:
Pick three Italians for 50 credits or less, combined fantasy score at the end of the race wins. Only riders making it to the end of the race count, if your's quits mid race, they get no points
I'll also add in an additional caveat; where there are two teams the same, the tie-breaker is who entered their team first. The teams are:
Ghedebrav: Pozzovivo, Cataldo, Buongiorno 
Dave Atkinson: Pozzovivo, Colbrelli, Frapporti
STEVESPRO: Paolini, Malori, Appollonio
TERatcliffe26: Pozzovivo, Scarponi, Barbin
Enrique: Pozzovivo, Scarponi, Colli
stevemarks: Aru, Viviani, Ponzi

livestrongnick: Pettachi, Aru, Santaromita
VVV73: : Pozzovivo, Scarponi, Alafaci

djb123: Basso, Appollonio, Sanaromita
Joelsim: Petacchi, Pozzovivo, Chicchi
NeilG83: Pozzovivo, Petacchi, Montaguti
arsene: Pozzovivo, Aru, Ponzi
Tom Amos: Viviani, Petacchi, Chicchi
chrisdstripes: Nizzolo, Boem, Malacarne
JAndrewHill: Pozzovivo, Zardini, Appollonio

Much appreciated ty
Viviani
Pellizotti
Gasparotto
Can I replace Alafaci with Barbin please
Have I missed cut-off? If not pozzovivo, Aru, rosa
Just seen this (thanks chrisdstripes) - any chance of putting in Malacarne instead of Locatelli (I understand with the deadline etc if you can't)? Please...
I agree you should be allowed to swap after all its just for a bit of fun
OK - this post right here is the cutoff! No more entries or substitutions after this point.
That ain't allowed surely?
What can I say, I tend to ignore your comments so never even saw that one.
It's not against the rules (assuming we both win then it goes to a coin toss) but if it's a problem I'm happy to swap out Colli for Bandiera which I think makes it a unique trio.
Nizzolo
Rabottini
Ponzi
If I,m not too late
Late entry
Viviani
Santaromita
Sella
47.7
The rule I popped in the OP was that in case of tie it came down to who entered their team first. I didn't realise there was already a rule for this?
I did say no more entries above, but given that it's all in the name of fun does anyone have any objections to Mikeh789 and Philip Unwin having their teams entered too?
No objections from me, also, may as well change my team is unique, can't be having the same as enrique.
oooh now then didn't santa get points from the ttt with orica ?? you know that could really upset some people if your team went in after the results
but as far as i'm concerned you can have the team, its just for fun
Can I assume we will get a score update after the weekend?
