Winners Thread

I won a mini pump but it has yet to arrive....

I just realized that i came in second in the spring classics

Wonder if Wiggle will ship my glory's runners-up price to Denmark...

I won Paris Nice stage 8 but have not received my prize either.

already claimed the prize - just concerned it's going to go to an old address if it doesn't get dispatched soon

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.

I won a buff at Tirreno. When will the prizes be sent out please? Moving soon so may need to provide a new address if it'll be more than 1 week from now...

2nd overall in TdF last year!

Few stage wins too

...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.

In my third season and been fortunate enough to win 3 prizes so far....A Tour de France goody bag, a shiny pump and a useful box of cleaning equipment...

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.

As far as overall in a comp I've managed 5th in the Autumn classics purist last year!

I did win a stage of the tour of Poland in 2012 thanks to Ben swifts sprinting skills but no prizes back then for just stages

Looking at my palmares, Best I've come is 9th in the Autumn classics last year, before that, I came 13th in the purist Tour De France in 2012, I was right up there until stage 15. I only scored 50, followed by a 57 and 62, that lost me ground.

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

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...

Two 3rd places (med and algarve) and one stage win (algarve) this year

I want to win a prize too.

What?

I came 2nd on the Giro TTT last year got a nice pump because Mr Atkinson came 1st!

Back to the story, I managed to come 6th in Algarve, and that was my best yet in my noob year.

I have never won anything because there are too many cheats

Well, after two years of near misses and coin toss defeats, I finally one a stage in the Tour the Med and the Tour de Med overall... didn't get the prizes yet though...
