Giro Stage 21 - ITT
It's finally over, we've made it to the end and we still don't know who's going to take the Maglia Rosa.
Who's your money on for the ITT and the overall?
Is it between Phinney, Larsson and Rasmussen and if so who's survived the mountains in a good enough condition to put in a great ride? Who else has a shot?
Can Rodriguez put in the time trial of his life to keep the jersey or will Hesjedal take it from him at the last minute? Can De Gendt make up any time and make the podium? How will Basso do?
Lots of questions still to answer, its been a great three weeks and for me, the TdF is going to have to be amazing to top this.
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

kept 4 transfers back for this morning so I could bring Pinotti, Thomas, Rasmussen and De Gendt in.
Missed the bloody deadline
Thats very bad luck
My picks all went well thankfully, it took some time to choose between Thomas/Basso/Bruseghin and Phinney/Rasmussen/Pozzovivo... but luckily I went for Thomas and Rasmussen 
Alex Rasmussen
anyone know when the scores are going up?
'bout half an hour
thanks Dave! hope we haven't interrupted your beers...
unlucky wig billy! my dedicated team didn't win either. I came 6th with meagre farmer otto.
Damn you Jesse Sergent... I regret throwing away my high overall position now.
Dave,
what's the official position on running additional teams?
If I run 2 throughout the TdF, is that OK?
I could have told you he would be the top DS guy, thats why I had him
Yeah, this year's Giro's been great and the competition has been really close, thanks to Dave and the team for making the game better than ever this year (minus a few hiccups).
Time for a nice break... wait, it's only 6 days until the Dauphine starts?! Oh crap, best get planning!
2,3,4,5,6,7 on the stage + 1,2,3 GC + 1,2 KOM + 1,3 Points. Enough to lift me from 6th overall? Probably not, but I have loved this fantasy giro all the same
Thanks to the roadcc team.
almost
It was close! Still 60 odd points off. Gutted I wasnt premium though! Never mind, I can't really complain that I didn't invest a tenner way back and when. Cheers for running this fantasy cycling though
And congrats to 1st, 3rd and 4th and their prizes!
3,5,6,7,16 +10 for phinney and tschopp
1,2,3,5 in the GC
1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 16 and top 3 GC plus points jerseys and +5 for Phinney. 163 I think, about average I'd say.
5,6,7 and 16 + 5
then 1,2,3 on GC, don't know much else, not really paying attention, I don't like GT's being finished with a TT
1. Pinotti
2. Thomas
3. Sergent
4. Rasmussen
5. De Gendt
6. Hesjedal
7. Larsson
8. Bodnar
9. Tuft
10. Vermote
11. Stannard
12. Kwiatkowski
13. Cataldo
14. Malori
15. Oliveira
16. Phinney
17. Vandevelde
18 Ignatyev
19. Serpa
20. Rosseler
Blue and red jerseys remain unchanged so just waiting on the final top 10 GC although I think:
1. Hesjedal
2. Rodriguez
3. De Gendt
4. Scarponi
5. Basso
6. Cunego
7. Uran
8. Pozzovivo
9. Henao
10. Nieve
Phinney had "a problem with a couple of motorbikes" apparently - don't know the details. So maybe he was in good shape after all.
Didn't expect Sergent or Thomas to do so well over the longer distance, fair play to anyone who did.
Ryder was 40-1 at the beginning of the Giro, anyone who bet on that will be very happy. Oh wait, that was me! Makes up for my rubbish decision-making in the fantasy game...
Not bad at all; 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 14th, 16th. Fingers crossed.
Awesome ride from De Gendt, beating Rasmussen/Larsson is no mean feat and I think he deserves a podium place for the last two days.
Might get 5 points for Phinney afterall thanks to Pinotti!
Phinney way of the pace; GT flying!
My team, only ended up with 2 transfers left, So I put in Larsson and Phinney just incase
Joaquin Rodriguez (KAT)
Ryder Hesjedal (GRM)
Thomas de Gendt (VCD)
Sergio Luis Henao (SKY)
Stefano Pirazzi (COG)
Gustav Erik Larsson (VCD)
Domenico Pozzovivo (COG)
Diego Ulissi (LAM)
Taylor Phinney (BMC)
And Ballan pushes him out of the top 15. Game over.
picking phinney was a mistake!!!
At least I have sergeant that others wont have
I had jesse too. Whos rasmussen???
Cav's really trying. 1'46" down on Rasmussen at the finish. Don't think it'll be good enough but pretty impressive all the same. And now 1'53" down on Sergent.
Stage hunting... love it.
No penalty points
. I've been planning it for a few stages.
