    Yet another extra game!

    This week is national championships week with most of the major countries having their national champs over the weekend.

    The idea is, pick the winner of five major European road race championships, specifically the winners of the British, French, Spanish, Italin and Belgian national road race championships.  Simple.

    Nominate your five guys (one per race) below.  Scoring will be based on an omnium stlye points system.  1 point for the win, 2 for second, 3 for 3rd etc down to 10 points for 10th and below (if someone doesn't finish then they'll also get 10 points).

    Person with the lowest points total wins.

    An example team would be:

    GB: Cavendish
    FR: Bouhanni
    ESP: Sanchez
    ITA: Nibali
    BEL: Boonen

    You can find some info on all the champs here: http://www.podiumcafe.com/2013/6/18/4442290/welcome-to-nationals-week

    Deadline for entires is 9am (BST) Saturday 22nd June.

    Here is my ONE bug….Nibali wasn’t even scheduled to ride the Italian champs, he wasn’t even there, so he CANNOT get a DNF/DNS and should NOT get 10 points

    so if you picked five riders that didn’t start, then you win?

    That was my false understanding…Then I remembered, we are trying to get low scores….. 👿 Silly me

    If I could be bothered I’d go and find one of the times that someone complained because they picked someone who didn’t end up riding a stage but were in the games start list and you basically told them to ‘do one’ because players have a responsibility to check start lists themselves…

    Seeing as I’m at work though and don’t have the time to do that, let’s just pretent I have 😀

    Lots of similar scores but Timbo13 takes it despite having a non-riding Nibali thanks to a 1st, 2nd and two 6th place finishes. Well done!

    Podium:

    1. Timbo13 – 25
    2. livestrongnick – 28
    3. djb123 – 33
    3. backflipbedlam – 33
